From the Daily Caller: Two boys who identify as transgender girls appeared on MSNBC Sunday night, where guest host Paola Ramos praised them for their “extremely courageous” stand after they complained about President Donald Trump’s efforts to prohibit men from competing in women’s sports.
Trump signed an executive order Feb. 5 that directed federal agencies to pull funding from schools that fail to “take all appropriate action to affirmatively protect all-female athletic opportunities and all-female locker rooms.” Attorney Chris Erchull, who is representing the boys in a lawsuit challenging Trump’s order, claimed during the segment that the two boys were no different than other girls who played sports.
“Transgender girls play both sports for the same reasons as any other students. Sports are essential to education,” Erchull told Ramos, the daughter of Univision news anchor Jorge Ramos, who was guest hosting “Ayman.” “For so many young people, sports is where they develop life skills like leadership, teamwork, self-discipline, confidence. These are skills that Parker and Iris are going to need when they’re adults.”
Prior to Erchull’s comments, teenagers Parker Tirell and Iris Turmelle, who sued to block Trump’s executive order Wednesday after previously challenging New Hampshire’s ban on biological boys competing against girls, spoke with Ramos about their reasoning behind the legal actions.
Ramos first asked Parker Tirell, “What does soccer mean to you?”
Parker responds in a deep male voice, “It pretty much means the world to me. I’ve been playing [soccer] for 12 years. It’s just really important.”
