Talk show host Dr. Phil found himself in an awkward position after hosting a transgender activist who lashed out after he demonstrated that female transgender athletes, biological males who identify as women, have physical advantages over biological females.
The veteran talk show titan hosted a trans activist named Blossom, who was born a man but currently identifies as a woman. The woke activist had previously recommended having gender neutral Olympics and merging paralympics with regular Olympics.
This time, he managed to make an intellectual argument, claiming that even people of the same biological sex have various physical advantages over each other, including bone density, adding that the “perceived” advantage is based on a statistically small transgender population.
He also opposed subjecting women to gender confirmation tests to prove that they were biologically female. So far, no biological female athlete has opposed gender tests. Yet, Democrats continue to claim that they are degrading to women.
“I think it’s very dangerous when we put all women in a position to be tested to prove that they’re not trans, and that executive order that Donald Trump signed is nothing more than waste and fraud, in my opinion,” the trans activist stated.
“You’re only signing for 0.002% of the population. You are subjecting all women, whether they’re cis or trans, to rigorous tests to prove that they are not trans in order for them to play,” Blossom added.
However, Dr. Phil would have none of that by pointing out that the percentages do not matter when individual trans athletes are erasing years of hard work within minutes. By October 2024, trans athletes had won over 900 medals in women’s sports and displaced over 600 biological female athletes. In contrast, almost no woman who identifies as a man has won any medal in male sports.
Trans athlete Lia Thomas was ranked over 400 in men’s 500-yard freestyle and over 500 in other events. Yet, he managed to smash the women’s record in the same race when he transitioned and competed as a woman. Similarly, transgender cyclist Austin Killips beat the biological female runners-up in the Tour of the Gila in New Mexico cycling race by a whopping 50 minutes and 25 seconds. These extraordinary victories by trans athletes who performed poorly in men’s sports are hardly coincidental.
“I don’t think it’s so much the number of trans athletes, because there can be one athlete that can come into a conference like the Big Sky Conference, for example, and when they come into the Big Sky Conference, that one athlete can really erase a lot of really hard work and devotion and sacrifice that dozens, hundreds of women have spent years working on to achieve athletic heights,” Dr. Phil said.
He proceeded to point out that biological men’s advantage over biological women was “not a matter of opinion” by demonstrating that, on average, biological men have superior grip strength, superior total upper body strength, and higher vertical jumps. However, his statements seemed to trigger the transgender athlete, prompting them to lash out.
“Respectfully Dr. Phil, I’m gonna need you to have several seats. Let’s be clear, trans women, again, are women,” Blossom fumed.
“What you’re showing me are male statistics and trans women are not males. Everything that I say can actually be proven, it’s scientifically proven, and I would inquire you to do research on what you’re saying, because again it’s almost like you’re trying to call trans-women men and that is not what trans-women are.”
Daring Dr. Phil to provide statistics on transgender vs biological female athletes, the trans activist accused the talk show host of spreading “conservative propaganda” and drinking “the Kool-Aid.”
“Trans-women work just as hard as women to compete,” Blossom added.
Evidently, the record speaks for itself when almost all transgender female athletes dominate women’s sports, while transgender male athletes have so far failed to win any medals or set records in men’s sports.
