(DCNF)—“The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg claimed Monday that anyone opposing trans-identifying men from competing in women’s sports fails to understand basic female anatomy.
Goldberg told Dylan Mulvaney, a trans-identifying male activist, that those against men competing in women’s sports are ignorant about women’s bodies and just immediately assume that female athletes are weak. Studies have proven that men are biologically stronger and carry more body mass than women, posing an unfair advantage to male athletes and a higher risk of injury for women.
“I think part of the problem that the trans community is facing is the same problem that women face,” Goldberg said. “Is if you don’t know anything about our bodies, then you don’t know how it works. So, when you come in and you say ‘oh, these are men competing against women,’ you’re assuming that the women are weak and just can’t do anything. Have you seen female athletes? They know what they’re doing. So I don’t know what’s going on or why this is an issue.”
“The same for me when people say, ‘oh, you know, I don’t know how I feel about you.’ You do, God doesn’t make mistakes. And the challenge is not to the trans people, it’s to the people who are not trans. That’s what God is looking to see, how you treat people. That’s what is happening,” Goldberg continued.
Despite Goldberg’s claims, women athletes’ body strength is typically between 40% to 75% that of men’s, meaning that male athletes naturally have significantly more upper and lower body strength compared to their female counterparts, according to the National Library of Medicine. Men also have been found to have “significantly higher” muscle thickness and larger body sizes compared to women, a 2002 study by Princeton University found.
One study found that untrained college men have “greater upper and lower body strength” than trained collegiate women athletes, according to the National Library of Medicine.
Female athletes have repeatedly suffered from serious injuries at the hands of trans-identifying male athletes. In April 2023, 19-year-old Payton McNabb suffered from a brain bleed a traumatic brain injury, partial paralysis and loss of peripheral vision on her right side after a male athlete spiked a volleyball into her head in North Carolina.
Three players on a high school rugby team were also injured after being slammed by a male competitor in April 2022, the Washington Examiner reported. A six-foot male basketball player with facial hair injured several players in Lowell, Massachusetts, while footage shows one girl falling to the ground and clutching her back in pain as the male wrestled the ball away from her on the court, the Heritage Foundation reported.
Another male athlete knocked a girl’s teeth out during a field hockey game in Massachusetts, according to Heritage.
Female athletes have consistently decried men competing against them, stating that they have dominated their competitions. Male swimmer Lia Thomas, who identifies as a woman, famously defeated the other female competitors by almost 1.75 seconds in the 500-yard freestyle event at the 2022 National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Women’s Championships in March 2022.
Thomas went from ranking 544th in the men’s competition to being the top-ranked swimmer in the women’s competition, indicating that he had a clear advantage by competing against female swimmers.
Former college swimmer Riley Gaines, who competed against Thomas, said in June 2023 that the NCAA allowed Thomas to change in the girls’ locker room, leaving herself and her fellow female counterparts traumatized.
President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Feb. 5 to prohibit men from competing in women’s sports and to direct the Department of Education to investigate any school that violates his presidential action.

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
