Sports TikTok star Coach Jackie is busy skewering anti-trans protestors by pointing out their blatant hypocrisy.
Coach Jackie, who focuses her TikTok channel on women’s sports and queer athletes, embarrassed a group of transphobic people protesting outside of the Supreme Court, which was hearing oral arguments in two cases about the future of transgender women and girls’ participation in school sports.
Alongside political TikToker Allie O’Brien, Coach Jackie interviewed the protesters who were holding up signs that read, “Protect women’s sports,” “Save women’s sports,” “No men in women’s sports,” and “Stop transing gay kids.”
In the now viral video, Coach Jackie posed a challenge that should have been easy for people who claim they want to “protect” women’s sports: “Name five current professional athletes in women’s sports.”
@jcubedhax They know nothing about women’s sports except for the fact that it needs to be saved #womenssports #transrights #lgbt @Allie O’Brien
But all of the protestors struggled to name any at all. One person answered with, “The Williams sisters who play tennis,” before Coach Jackie pointed out that Serena Williams is retired.
Multiple protestors admitted they don’t watch women’s sports, and one person brought up Riley Gaines, despite her not being a professional athlete. Gaines was the University of Kentucky swimmer who tied for fifth place with a trans woman and has since built a career out of talking about her experience.
Coach Jackie’s challenge highlights the fact that these protestors don’t actually care about women in sports, they are just using it as an excuse to promote their anti-trans views.
