During a Fox News appearance, Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville made unsubstantiated assertions about men's teams transitioning to women's sports, claiming this trend is encouraged by 'woke globalists.' His comments reflect broader anti-LGBTQ+ sentiments among some politicians and aim to rally opposition against Democrats. Despite the lack of credible evidence, Tuberville's rhetoric contributes to ongoing debates about the participation of transgender athletes in sports and the perceived threat to women's athletics. The NCAA counters Tuberville's claims, indicating that such transitions are not occurring at a significant level.
"We have entire men's teams across this country now that are turning trans. Women's teams, they're turning trans."
"The Democrats know that transgender boys in women's sports is wrong, but they can't abandon them because the rest of the group would probably say, 'Hey, if you're not going to stand with us, we're out of here for you Democrats.'"
