He has a right to express those feelings, and he didn't lie, or exaggerate, he was right in saying that transgender males are still biological males, and in athletics, that gives them an advantage when they play girl's sports. That's not being transphobic.

And when it comes to the sports competition, who's rights prevail, since everyone's are equal?
