Oh just shut the hell up Bert favor.....(Brett Favre)....... [View all]

Former Packers quarterback Brett Favre made his viewpoint on transgender athletes clear in his podcast Tuesday, saying it’s not fair for trans women to compete against other women.

According to a report from The Hill, Favre said allowing trans women to compete with other women is allowing men into the field.

“It’s not fair for a man, even if this person wants to be a woman or feels compelled — if you want to become the opposite sex, that’s fine. I got no problem with it. But you can’t compete against — males cannot compete against females,” Favre said on his podcast.

The question arose shortly after trans New Zealand weightlifter Laurel Hubbard qualified for the Tokyo Olympics June 21. Hubbard has long met testosterone requirements for competing as a woman, having last competed as a man in 2001.

Favre made a distinction between Hubbard and “true females” in his comments, saying he would be “beside himself” if he was a woman and lost to Hubbard.
