‘Radical feminists’ torch Democrats for opposing women's sports legislation: 'This is a pro-girl bill'

Kara Dansky and Lierre Keith discuss why they, self-described radical feminists, support Republicans bill that would ban transgender women from competing against females.

`Two self-described "radical feminists" joined "Fox & Friends First" Friday to voice their support for House Republicans' "Protection of Women and Girls in Sports" bill. 

The bill would ban transgender women from competing in federally funded schools’ female sports teams. 

More specifically, it claims that allowing trans women to play in female sports violates Title IX, which bans discrimination on the basis of sex. A transgender woman refers to someone who was born with male sex traits and now identifies as a woman. 

The bill received no votes from any House Democrats and is not expected to move forward in the Democrat-led Senate. 

'SAVE WOMEN'S SPORTS' BILL PASSES HOUSE WITH ZERO VOTES FROM DEMS, WHO CALL IT TRANSGENDER 'BULLYING'

Women’s Liberation Front founder and chair Lierre Keith said Democrats are wrong to call the legislation "anti-trans."

"This is a pro-girl bill. We know that men and women have different physical capacities," said Keith. "For there to be any fairness for girls, we have to keep boys out of women’s sports." 

She added, "Women have a right to a word for ourselves, and that word is woman, and men can't have it. The moment you grant them the word ‘woman,’ they then get our sports and our spaces and our prisons and our battered women's shelters and our health care and our everything, so they can't have it."
