Trans golfer Hailey Davidson has responded to the backlash after recently winning a women’s tournament and potentially earning a place on the LPGA Tour. Hailey responded on Instagram saying people were misinformed. For a sit down interview with Good Morning Britain, Hailey was asked whether transgender athletes who are born have an advantage over women, Hailey’s answer may surprise you.
Hi guys welcome back to the channel so I have a followup from yesterday’s video about the transgender golfer who’s competing in the women’s tournament and is well on the way to qualify for a tour of which there are only five spots for women so you know as you can imagine
This has sparked a lot of debate and this person felt fit to respond to respond to the critics to respond to the haters and I guess this person believes that they some misinformation being put out there so in case you didn’t see yesterday’s video this is about the transgender golfer Haley Davidson who
Came on the scene in women’s sports about 2 years ago take a look Haley Davidson’s been playing golf for 15 years ever since she was 13 she’s passionate about it and good at it good enough to go pro I’ve just been drawn to it forever and I I I’d absolutely love
It Haley’s dream is to play the LPGA Tour and compete with the best the CM resident may be on her way Haley hon Haley just earned her first Victory on a lady’s mini tour she’s believed to be the first transgender woman to win a professional golf tournament you know
Obviously nothing’s a definite it it gives me just so much hope as she works on her game Haley’s talking with the LPGA about eligibility the tour does not require its athletes to be female at Birth Haley who’s had hormone therapy for the last 6 years had gender reassignment surgery in January as a
Result a weight she carried since the third grade was lifted emotionally and mentally what has that surgery down for you I feel like there’s been such just a sense of being whole for the first time in my life I never thought I could play golf competitively as a a trans woman um
So I always thought it was golf or being myself in Florida and Nationwide transgender participation in sports has suddenly become more controversial Haley’s heard the arguments do you believe you physically have an advantage against some of the other women you’re competing against on the golf course nope and this is the
Argument I love is as people say I have an advantage um the woman Pine I played against she outd drove me all day um so again where what advantage do I have U I played another tournament last week where the cisgender girl I was playing with out drove me all day with a
Three-wood the competitors that you beat at your tournament their reaction to you winning was what congratulations and the fact that I did something based on my ability not based on who I was and the only negativity I get is from people sitting obviously sitting behind their keyboards and sitting at home haey tells
Me she’s willing to be a Target and take the negative shots if it means achieving a dream and if it helps others all those kids that are being told they can’t do something right now I want every single one to know that there is hope because
One I will do it um and two I’m going to make sure that by the end of my lifetime everyone else feels equally enough to be able to live their dreams as well so first of all I do want to say that I don’t think it’s healthy to lie to
Children and tell them that they can change their gender I don’t think it’s healthy to lie to them and tell them that they can change from male to female or be a one day be a boy and the next be a girl I don’t think that’s healthy I
Think that’s playing with their mental health and yeah you can achieve whatever you want to achieve but you can’t change your agenda you can’t wake up one day and decide you are going to be a female if you were born male the sooner we start telling children the truth the
Sooner they can adjust to Growing within their own bodies that’s just my opinion so I spoke about it yesterday this person claims you know there’s no unfair Advantage losing to a woman a female athlete once in a while still doesn’t mean that you’re in the correct category
It still doesn’t mean that you belong in women’s sports I’m sorry it absolutely doesn’t I gave the example of a 50-year-old man competing with 13-year-old girls and loses all the time guess what he still doesn’t belong in a competition with 13-year-old girls he doesn’t belong in their locker room Leah Thomas did not
Belong in Riley gains and those other female athletes locker rooms showing everything and this person has gone through reassignment surgery okay but that still doesn’t mean that people consent to you being in their locker room as a male no young woman should have to go through seeing male penis in a locker
Room which happens and now Haley is very much on course to being in the LPGA tournament which was the goal all along so I can understand as far as Haley’s concerned this is something that Haley has put work into has been hoping to accomplish for the last couple of years
And is on the way to doing that because of a policy that allows males biological males to compete in women’s categories again I do not understand why activists aren’t pushing for transgender athletes to have their own category that way there’s no controversy they’re competing against other males who’ve also been on
Hormones or whatever on not who are basically in the same boat as them rather than competing against females who studies still show I’ve spoken about these studies in the other video I did about the boxing Federation and their them allowing transgender athletes to beat on women I spoke about
The studies in that video and I’ll link some of them below but being on hormones doesn’t take away the fact that you are male you went through male puberty and you have the body of a man Even though you’ve developed you know a bit more on top because the hormones you’ve been on
Maybe your performance has declined slightly hormones doesn’t take away your advantage over women by any significant amount for years after being on hormones at least 8 years so Davidson won the nxxt women’s classic tournament and it’s put in Davidson on course to receive an Epson tour exemption the Epson tour is
The developmental tour of the LPGA Tour the top 10 players of the Epsom tour graduate to the LPGA Tour so Davidson posted on Instagram stories about the criticism saying it’s crazy the amount of misinformed hatred I have received so far today all of these people think I
Hit 300 yards or even 280 yards have about 250 on a good day the thing that gets me is people really are acting as if an underperforming male athlete means that he’s a a female athlete women’s sports is not just failed male Sports women’s sports is not just males who
Underperform like come on it is sports that is simply for females that’s what women sports is in order to qualify to compete in female categories it used to be that you had to be female all we’re saying is let it remain that way because that’s how we
Make sure that women sports remains fair I’m tired of this message being put out there that demeans women’s sports by the way that if you’re not a very good male athlete then you’re okay for to be in the women’s category that’s insulting to women’s Sports women’s sports is not
Inferior to male Sports contrary to what you know a lot of people may think you don’t watch women sports whatever it’s not that it’s inferior to male Sports it’s different because it’s for women that’s it Serena Williams said herself that women’s Sports women’s tennis is different a lot of people come out in
Great numbers to watch female tennis players especially you know Serena for example before she retired obviously they’re not inferior they’re different that’s it when we talk about transgender athletes and we say oh they don’t perform very well with other males so they’re okay to be in the female
Category how insulting is that how insulting is that to female athletes that’s the message that this person is putting out there and saying that well it was only 250 so you know I’m in the correct category no no and I say again there’s only limited spots for this LPGA Tour and when we
Allow males to take the spot that rightly belongs to a female that is unjust and there’s no way around that as far as I’m concerned you need to stop experimenting with women’s sports you need to stop using women’s sports as a boost for male egos that’s what I’m seeing at the
Moment so that’s what Haley said on Instagram and on Good Morning Britain Haley also had this to say Haley Davidson never expected to find find herself at the center of a political storm around transgender athletes competing against women in Elite Sport for a lot of people
Because you were born a man you clearly have an advantage do you accept that honestly I I 100% agree you know the men do have advantages um you know say you get a transperson on hormones for a year no surgery nothing good of course they’re for the most part yeah they’re
Going to have an advantage and this is the thing anybody with common sense can acknowledge that male athletes have advantages over females otherwise we would never have categories in sports to begin with okay being on hormones for a year you know you still have an advantage and one study showed that even
Being on hormones for eight years doesn’t take away the advantage that a male a male athlete has over a female you can’t pick and choose when you want to acknowledge common sense and when you want to throw it out of the window so there Hal in some acknowledgement some
Common sense basically and saying yeah there is an advantage you can’t pick and choose when you want to appear rational and when you want to gas light people and act like all of a sudden there’s no Advantage because you you um did a 250 or whatever this is what I’m seeing it’s
Disingenuous I don’t know I haven’t seen this in full it’s only a minute or so long I’m assuming Haley’s going to say that you know I put in the work I’ve had the full surgery and again a woman is not a castrated man a woman is
Not a man who’s cut off their their parts regardless of whether you’ve had surgery regardless of whether you’re on hormones you’re in the wrong category if you’re male and you’re competing in women’s sports there’s no way around that and this issue is bigger than golf because every sporting body has
Their own policies we have some sporting bodies who don’t want to restrict people the CPU for example not too long ago they’ve recently changed their policy but not too long ago they didn’t want to put restrictions on trans athletes so somebody who you know a man could just
Walk off the street as ay silverberg demonstrated and smash a women’s you know competition the young ladies in Connecticut who are going through this court case at the moment you know their sporting body over in Connecticut I looked it up and all that is required is that the transgender athlete publicly
Declares that they identify as a woman so they have to inform their school board that they identify as a woman and that’s it they’re allowed to compete in the women’s categories these young women may very well have been competing against just straight up boys who weren’t even on HS and their careers were
Hindered because of years of having to compete against transgender athletes they missed out on opportunities sporting opportunities probably scholarship opportunities accolades they missed out on all of that and this is what they’re going to argue in court because they had to compete against at least two transgender athletes so the transgender
Policy funny enough actually um discriminates if you want to call it that against non-binary people because you have to be clear do you identify as a woman or a man non-binary you know that’s that’s not accepted and you’re not allowed to change your agenda halfway through the
Season you know thank thank goodness for that so you have to be consistent that’s it so every sporting body has their own requirements female athletes probably don’t know where they stand over in the UK with all these transgender footballers now taking part in in women’s football or soccer to the point
Where a female athlete had her knee broken by one such athlete this is a terrible experiment that they are subjecting women to who did not consent to this this is a terrible experiment that they’re forcing female athletes to take part in in the locker room you can
Have somebody who says they identify as a woman who hasn’t even done anything to transition just a straight up dude in your locker room with some of these polic IES with how relaxed some of these policies are today it’s golf tomorrow it’s Athletics or track the next day it’s football
Boxing where does it stop that’s what I asked in my video yesterday and unfortunately it’s just getting worse at the moment now apparently this is another issue the female athletes people are asking what do the female athletes think I haven’t heard anything publicly but according to Haley Haley has support
From you know Haley’s fellow competitors they’re supportive of it of course they don’t speak for every female athlete you speak to someone like Riley gains she will say that from her experience she believes it’s the majority of female athletes that are actually against it many are afraid to
Speak out so there’s that too some people just stand there and smile take the photo we have the female athlet in Chicago the one who came third to two transgender athletes she was fine with it apparently she signed a pledge saying that we have to be inclusive so again
Even when we just have a few female athletes who are on board with this I don’t see how it will ever stop maybe when someone actually gets hurt or killed or women have got hurt but when it goes beyond that and the unthink happens when someone actually ends up getting killed because they’re
Competing against a biological male then maybe maybe we’ll get people to rethink supporting something that is not in our interest as women to support I don’t believe trans people should be banned from sports but I do believe there need to be guidelines in effect why do you
Think people have such a big problem with you competing in women’s golf in particular I don’t understand that I don’t get with the the fear of me one person is doing first of all the guidelines do not make you female so I don’t care what guidelines are in place
The boxing USA boxing guidelines seem pretty strict in all fairness they do seem pretty you have to be you know you have to go through surgery in order to compete against women you have to be on hormones for I believe it’s 2 years so many would say that’s that’s very strict
But is that going to mean that the male is going to punch a female with less Force than the other female boxers no absolutely not is it going to change the size of the lungs that the male athlete has the size of their heart the size of
Their you know hands no I’m tired of talking about advantages but the guidelines do not turn a male into a female they love to use words like fear and that sort of thing and yeah fear does come into it to an end extent ask the young ladies who had to
Fight biological males in jiujitsu they were absolutely in fear including um women as young as 16 16y old girls yeah they they were in fear and rightly so because anybody of any sense could tell I don’t know where the guidelines were with the Jiu-Jitsu thankfully that policy has been
Corrected transgender athletes for that particular um sporting body in Jiu-Jitsu they are now banned in the females category and that’s how it should be I don’t need stricter guidelines they need to be banned they can compete against other males or they can have their own category so yes fear does come into it
But they like to use the word fear as being snonymous with being a bigot transphobia meaning you just have have a you know a fear of people who are different as opposed to a fear of somebody breaking your knee or knocking you out and giving you permanent brain
Damage 31-year-old who was the first male born golfer to win a professional women’s event is speaking out exclusively after revealing she’s received a number of death threats just days after winning this women’s tournament are you worried about your safety a little bit yeah I I don’t go
Out and do a ton much because of that I’m not you know going out at night you know I watch myself when I sit in a restaurant you know I’ll always have my back to a wall three years on from her gender reassignment surgery and Haley’s determined to keep going and hopes to
One day qualify for the Scottish open you know I don’t condone sending anybody anybody you know death threats and things like that because you can put your point across without resorting to death threats and things of that nature but you know who also have had to face death threats female athletes who speak
Out female athletes who are brave enough to say that this isn’t right Riley Gaines was basically held against her will for 3 hours they tried to extort money just when she went to a university to give a talk to give a speech or whatever to have a discussion she was
Barricaded in a room for 3 hours I mean don’t even get me started on uh Kelly Jane Kean I’ve seen what’s happened to her on her travels just for talking about the importance of Main Ain in women’s spaces just for encouraging our legal system to Define what a woman is
Just for saying that a woman is an adult human female even saying that has caused them to face violence and this is all because certain sporting bodies have decided that males belong in the female category so infringing upon women’s sports is actually not only taking away opportunities from women it’s also
Endangered women it’s endangered women in the course of participating in their sports like we saw with football volleyball and is going to do in boxing but it’s also endangered women in their personal lives because they dare to speak out it’s endangered women online they’ve had to deal with a lot of
Threats backlash from trans right activists and that’s seems to go unchecked that’s called activism as wom as these people claim to be you know I’m a woman or whatever the masculine side certainly comes out when they’re trying to intimidate when they’re trying to belittle when they’re trying to silence
Women so spare a fault for the women when we’re talking about harassment and you know facing certain threats spare fault for the female athletes it’s actually quite threatening as well to be in a locker room with somebody showing all everything in all its Glory that’s actually quite threatening too and
Triggering you don’t know what somebody’s been through and they’re participating in their Sports and now they have to deal with that so something to think about it’s odd that Haley seemed to admit that they were advantages and never actually debunk that so I think we can all agree
Males have an advantage over women in sports and therefore do not belong in female categories so thanks for watching take care of yourselves and God willing I will see you in the next Video

Are 'guidelines' enough to justify male athletes competing in women's sports?
Research:
Men using HRT experienced “minimal declines in physical performance over 12 months, substantially surpassing average female performance for up to 8 years.” (Handelsman 2020)
Males enjoy a 28-40% advantage in combat/precision sports and have 162% more punching power than females. (Hilton 2021)
Their 60-100% advantage in arm strength (Handelsman 2018), is only reduced by 33% after 3 years of HRT. (Cheung 2023)

Golf is a game where men have to tee off from further back because it is recognised they have an advantage. The argument that there are some women who are better than him means he has no advantage is like me saying exactly the same thing.
I think we will have to get the east German performance enhancements back into sport to give some of the xx chromosome athletes a chance against xy athletes. All sports!
Thats a man.
He is a man and should play for thr men's team, if he is good enough. Anyone who gives this man a place should be locked up.
Shame, shame, shame on these men!!!
Jesus christ, when did America get so stupid
The answer is for an open category for trans. Otherwise women need to boycott. Until these things happen this issue is going to continue. You would think these trans athletes would do the right thing but "oh well!"
Thanks
I would love if you reached out to Buck angel and had a dialogue with him. He is a 61 year old well know transsexual man on YouTube who constantly speaks out about all these gender cult ideology nonsense. You being so well spoken would mix really well with Buck in my opinion, it would be a great discussion to watch.
First of all, you're not allowed to tell someone who they can and Can't be (freedom of speech and all) it's up to them, if a Man wishes to be a woman (either by Drag, or Sex Change) it's 100% their Choice, you cannot make that Choice for them, if a Man believes that he's in the wrong Body who are you to Judge? I'm sorry, but you made it sound that they aren't allowed to make their own choices (despite it being wrong or Right) that we shouldn't tell them who they can't and can be, Hun, these people will do it despite whether you agree or not. I'm Into Drag myself and Into Make-up, you going to sit there and tell me it's not right? if you did, I'll tell you where to go (in a polite way, of course) if it's 100% ok for Women to trans into a Man, then it should be ok Vice Versa. it's not ''Rule for thee, but not for me'' it doesn't work that way, For Many years men and women have grown up knowing they've been in the wrong body, and here's you telling them it's Not Possible? talk about False hope. Sorry but I disagree with your theory here!! good video, but disagree with your theory.
I surfed for 26 years short board way harder, men always used to tell me I was really good.. for a girl! Yeah they had to throw that one all the time 😂
This person does not respect the game. A player that did would not take advantage of the game in this way it's no different then improving you lie, falsifying you handicap
These perverts are disgusting
SHE ? HER ? Disgusting
Castrated ?
Total A hole
Cis gender ? You mean woman ?
What a total jerk
They can't really speak out. The repercussions for doing so could result in them being kicked out or even threats against them. Female athletes need to boycott and this insanity will stop.
