South Park Mocks Trans Athletes In New Episode
November 21, 2019Once again, South Park sparks controversy and causes uproar over LGBT+ topics.
In the newest episode titled “Board Girls” the series dives into the controversial topic of trans women in sports.
‘Too Fab’ states that character Strong Woman, South Park’s Elementary Vice-Principal, competes against trans athlete Heather who started identifying as a woman "two weeks ago” and is “ready to smash the other girls.”
"I'm not here to talk about my transition. I'm here to kick some f--king ass. Let me tell you something -- I'm gonna roll up the other women here, and I’m gonna smoke 'em. I am the strongest woman this state has ever seen," Heather exclaims.
Heather dominates the sporting events, and ends up calling Strong Woman's husband a "transphobe" after he questions what he believes is Heather's unfair advantage, saying she "went through puberty as a male, so your body is completely different.”
The trans athlete debate has been in the news for some time now and has divided the competitive sports world.
Supporters of inclusion say there is no scientific evidence behind the belief that biological men in female sports would leave cisgender women at an unfair disadvantage.
"The myth that trans women have a 'direct competitive advantage' is not supported by medical science, and it continues to stoke fear and violence against one of the most at-risk communities in the world," wrote Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, according to 'The Minnesota Sun'.
