Former U.S. women's soccer star Megan Rapinoe was questioned Sunday about her stance on trans inclusion in girls' and women's sports while participating in a Pride parade with teammate Sue Bird.
Katie Daviscourt of The Post Millennial asked Rapinoe about her stance while Rapinoe rode in the back of a convertible. Rapinoe and Bird were at a Pride parade in Seattle.

“It's well known that the U.S. women's soccer team lost to high school boys. Do you really think it's fair for those same kids to compete in women's sports?” Daviscourt asked.
Rapinoe appeared to grimace and mouthed, “Oh my God.” But she didn't respond. Instead, a security guard stepped between Rapinoe and Daviscourt when the soccer star refused to answer the question.
“Why should trans people compete against young girls? Don't you think they're going to get hurt? Are they going to get hurt? I'm a journalist, I just want to know,” Daviscourt added.

Rapinoe took a sip from her cup and the parade continued. Security guards then asked Daviscourt to step away from the vehicle.
The two-time world champion said last July that she would support a transgender athlete on the US Women's National Team even if it meant replacing a biological woman.
“Absolutely,” he told Time magazine. “'You're taking the place of a 'real' woman,' that's the part of the argument that is still extremely transphobic. I see trans women as real women. What you automatically say in the argument: you're sort of telling yourself “Ya You know, you don't believe these people are women. Therefore, they are taking the other place. I do not feel like it”.
