During a heated discussion on Piers Morgan’s show, American swimmer Riley Gaines, renowned for her legal fight against the NCAA’s approval of trans swimmer Lia Thomas competing in women’s events, engaged in a passionate debate with guest James Barr over the prospect of abolishing gender distinctions in sports.
The panel, which also featured Esther Krakue and Brandon Tatum from The Officer Tatum YouTube channel, saw Barr challenge Gaines with a thought-provoking query about whether disparities in competition could be attributed to physical attributes like height and strength.
Riley, I want to ask you a question because a lot of this has to do with sport and how you feel. It’s unfair because you’re up against people with a bigger body, right? So, do you think it’s unfair that someone who’s taller than you or has more strength than you can be on the same team? Is that the argument we’re making?” Barr asked.
Before Gaines could respond, Krakue interjected with, “I think it’s with the chromosomes,” hinting at the biological differences at play.
“Let’s look at swimming across the field consistently. If you look at the world record against the men on the men’s side versus the world record on the women’s side, consistently, that athletic performance gap is ten to 12%. Someone being a few inches taller than me does not make up for that ten to 12% performance gap we’re talking about. By having a man competing against a woman, of course, there are natural advantages that people possess. But what we’re talking about specifically here is beyond comparison to what the conclusion you’re drawing,” said Gaines.
Barr retorted with a radical proposal, “The conclusion I’m drawing is that we should get rid of gender altogether, and we should have sports based on body metrics.”
Morgan, visibly shocked by this, asked Barr to clarify if he was suggesting the creation of gender-neutral Olympic games.
Barr elaborated, “Because the only reason why, surely you agree, the only reason women’s sport exists is because men were gatekeeping sport for so long, and then finally said, ‘you know what? Fine. Have your own.’ But really, if we just remove gender from sport, then we won’t have this issue.”
Morgan didn’t hold back, “Sorry, James. That is so spectacularly ill-informed and dumb,” and Gaines piled on with a critical question, “Are you saying that we should get rid of sporting categories altogether and have just one big pool?”
Barr attempted to clarify, “No. I’m saying people should compete against people that have a similar body type so that it’s fair.”
Tatum scoffed at this notion, “That makes no sense. You’ve never played sports before.”
Morgan continued to dismantle Barr’s argument, “You just don’t understand it. There is no comparison between the bone density and body mass of males and females. That’s why they separate the sexes in sports. Because biological males would destroy you.”
But it was Gaines’s follow-up question that left Barr speechless and the panel in shock with Barr’s response.
“If you’re saying that we should get rid of sporting categories altogether, do you support the idea of eliminating the Paralympics versus the Olympics?”
Barr could only muster, “I think that’s a really great question, and I need to look into that…,” leading to a collective gasp from Morgan, Krakue, Tatum, and Gaines, who couldn’t believe what they had just heard.

Comparing Athletic Performances: The Best Elite Women to Boys and Men
by Doriane Lambelet Coleman and Wickliffe Shreve
If you know sport, you know this beyond a reasonable doubt: there is an average 10-12% performance gap between elite males and elite females. The gap is smaller between elite females and non-elite males, but it’s still insurmountable and that’s ultimately what matters. Translating these statistics into real world results, we see, for example, that:
Just in the single year 2017, Olympic, World, and U.S. Champion Tori Bowie’s 100 meters lifetime best of 10.78 was beaten 15,000 times by men and boys. (Yes, that’s the right number of zeros.)
The same is true of Olympic, World, and U.S. Champion Allyson Felix’s 400 meters lifetime best of 49.26. Just in the single year 2017, men and boys around the world outperformed her more than 15,000 times.
This differential isn’t the result of boys and men having a male identity, more resources, better training, or superior discipline. It’s because they have an androgenized body.

Ignorance and Stupidity.
Hear me out. The Leftards are wanting something illogical. But, let’s match what this boy is describing. It will be interesting.
Create an open league for each sport in which the qualifications are age groups, body BMI, height, weight and verified skill level. We cogent would let the Left have their equality, while clear minded people can watch a metaphorical slaughter in most of the sports, as Men will dominate. The recorded results should eventually begin to record an internal men’s and women’s division.
It’s a shame that simple logic and knowledge is denied these empty souls at a young age creating a Stu — PID race of ignorant and illogical. If, we were in days of having to survive without being taken care of — these people would quickly expire. Oh, look at the homeless – these are some of they? This is a ‘Wicked Problem.’
What a jerk that ginger is – hahahahahahahaha…
Do not include me in your mental delusion Tranny’s!
100% Right on CharlieSeattle.
Riley was having a discussion with a mental midget.
Well, you sure can’t call the little woke twit a fop, but you can call him a flop.
Has he ANY idea how freaking stupid he looks? How beyond stupid he sounds???
If you want to know what this whole commie gender SCAM is all about, google Laura Aboli, Transhumanism on YouTube. FOUR MINUTES, she will educate you.
Make no mistake. This is all part of the Zionist NWO evil agenda. The blatant attack on our God givin gender of male & female.
There is a reason that as of now there are no men in the women’s basketball association, or very few and are not being highlighted by the media. Is it because most are black????? Watch the tables turn when that starts. More female athletes will jump in with criticism. You can bet that they are told to keep their mouths shut or else the same will happen.
I remember when David Phelps was winning all those Olympic medals. The commentators emphasized that he had the perfect body for swimming competition. He had a long narrow torso, narrow hips, and long arms and legs. He had the perfectly shaped body for going through the water.
Now look at the perfect woman’s body for swimming… Olive Oyle, Popeye’s girlfriend.
Michael Phelps, please.
