Former gymnast and pro-women’s sports activist Jennifer Sey shut down the ACLU and Megan Rapinoe.
Rapinoe, a female soccer player who “benefited immensely from women’s sports,” took part in a video advocating for biological males in women’s spaces, masked as “supporting trans youth.”
Watch:
WILD that someone who benefited immensely from women’s sports now advocates for men in them.
Megan Rapinoe is pulling up the ladder & flipping off the next generation of girls who aspire to do the same. SICK

“Supporting trans youth isn’t just about sports. It’s about freedom,” the video, which features Rapinoe, Elliot Page, Kara Young, Sue Bird, and Naomi Watts, pushes.
Sey, a USA National artistic gymnastics champion and founder of XX-XY Athletics, told Fox News Digital the video made her “so angry.”
“Sports aren’t about any of those things. Sports are about competition. Sports are not about inclusion. Not everybody makes the team.” she said. “Sports are competing and striving to get better, and it’s about self-reliance and picking yourself up when you fall down. They’re not about freedom. There’s rules in sports. Three strikes and you’re out. There’s rules across every single sport. So I don’t know what these people are talking about and to make it about this idea that sports aren’t about competition.”
“Male advantage is greater than performance-enhancing drugs,” Sey pointed out.
“Megan Rapinoe has to be one of the most competitive women on the planet. She was on Olympic teams and World Cup teams. She’s one of the most famous soccer players ever. She’s full of it. It just makes me angry, and she’s pulling up the ladder behind her. And I’m sure she would not have tolerated a single player taking performance-enhancing drugs because that provides an unfair advantage.”
She explained what the ACLU, the organization behind the video, fundamentally misunderstands about sports.
“They’re twisting what competitive sports are about. If you want to be all about self-expression, then go enter a talent contest and sing. That’s not what sports are all about. So I find the ad infuriating,” she said, adding, “We have to push back on it. We have take the culture back.… It’s not fair. They’re asking these girls to erase themselves and to do it with a smile.”
The ad is yet another way for girls to be asked to happily accept their own erasure within spaces that were meant to protect them and help them thrive.
“They’re asking them to accept their erasure and to allow boys to take their medals and their team opportunities and to do so politely. Well, we’re not going to do it.”
“I trained as a gymnast for 15 years. I trained up to 10 hours a day. I trained on broken bones. I was up driving to practice in the dark. You give up a lot,” Sey revealed. “I gave up basically any high school social experience, you know, proms and all of it. You do it because you love the sport, and you do it because you derive a real sense of pride, and you do it, because you’re competitive.”
