'Gutfeld!' panelists react to transgender athlete Glenique Frank beating thousands of women in the female category of the London Marathon after previously competing as a man in the NYC Marathon.

Glenique Frank, a transgender woman who ran the London Marathon in the female category, offered to give her medal back after controversy stirred when she beat out about 14,000 women in the race.

Frank sparked criticism after she appeared in a BBC interview and gushed about becoming a grandmother. She told the New York Post the London Marathon was the first race she was able to pick her own name and gender.

Several other races she plans on running need her name and gender given on her passport, including New York City, Tokyo and Boston among others.
