Once rare and understood as a medical anomaly, transgender identity has exploded—especially among young people—coinciding with a surge of biological males dominating women’s athletics. From high school track meets in California to college championships across blue states, the trend raises serious questions about fairness, biology, and political priorities.

Victor Davis Hanson breaks down the tragic irony of today’s transgender sports movement on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”

“  As a classicist, I can tell you that there are documented fables, myths, poems, histories about people who feel they were in the wrong bodies. … There's a long history of sex research about people whose psychological or hormonal makeup does not match their physical characteristics. But here's the key: They're very rare.

“The Left was supposed to be for gender parity. … And now we're kind of reactionary. We flipped it upside down, where males go around the back, take over women's sports, and essentially, destroy it. And yet that is popular among many on the Left.”
