The idea that someone could just announce they're a woman one day and hit the field isn't how Rapinoe sees it working. On W. Kamau Bell's "Who's With Me?" podcast, the two-time World Cup winner pushed back on that exact scenario while making a broader case: fairness in sports, in her view, was never really a thing to begin with. Her take is that if a trans athlete turns out to be decent at the game, that's fine by her. No fear there, she said. The whole thing amounts to a reported opinion on inclusion and what fairness even means, and Rapinoe's answer leans toward letting it ride.
