Ted Cruz Comments on Trans Athletes and Drags Serena Williams into the Discussion
The participation of transgender athletes in high-performance sports continues to be a contentious topic that remains unresolved. It encompasses two of the most debated and intriguing issues within gender identity.
Senator Ted Cruz has addressed both topics on his podcast, gaining support from audiences and receiving high ratings. He first spoke about access to gender-affirming care for young people, expressing his disagreement. This comes at a time when legislation aimed at preventing young individuals from receiving such care is on the rise.
Cruz passionately defends the ban, despite opposition from the medical community, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, who have spoken out against such legislation.
The second topic Cruz tackled is the inclusion of transgender individuals in sports. He considers it unfair for individuals born biologically as males to compete against females, arguing that "justice" would not be served.
On Twitter, he recalled Serena Williams' remarks during her appearance on David Letterman's show. Williams had emphasized the differences between women's and men's tennis and stated that if she played against Andy Murray, the British player would defeat her 6-0, 6-0 in just few minuts.
This interview took place in 2013 when both players were at the top of their respective rankings in the WTA and ATP. At that time, Murray was 26 years old, while the 23-time Grand Slam champion was 32.
The discussion surrounding transgender athletes and their participation in professional sports continues to elicit strong opinions, with figures like Ted Cruz invoking Serena Williams' comments to support their arguments.

- That was a hideous display. Condescending Collins is no friend to tennis. She said she was retiring and should follow through. Sooner the better for the sport. BTW: As I read it in the WTA Rulebook 2025, it seems she broke at least two regulations in her post-match childish behavior. BTW: There are reasons she has no sponsors... and she displayed several of those reasons today.mandoist16-01-2025
