Sometimes we need the toxic masculinity of the rap community to snap us back into reality about certain things. In a recent interview, rapper Boosie BadAzz verbally annihilated the idea of trans women (men) participating in female sports competitions.

Specifically, he accused NCAA Women’s Swimming Champion Lia Thomas – a biological man that identifies as a woman – of “cheating” in her recent swimming victory. 

Popular “Urban News” channel VLADTV produced the viral interview with the rapper, whose real name is Torrence Ivy Hatch Jr. During the segment, Boosie spoke about a variety of topics, many hip-hop related and many related to politics and culture.

Of course the big culture topic right now is the man who is crushing women swimmers in NCAA championship races. Boosie had plenty to say about Lia Thomas “winning the NCAA Division I national title in the 500-yard freestyle” against women. 

(Note: Some graphic language)

“It’s not fair,” the rapper declared, before becoming increasingly aggravated while thinking further about the topic.

“In Women’s Sports?!” Boosie shouted while gesticulating wildly with a cigar of some sort in his hands.

Clearly he’s shocked at the notion.

Boosie continued, saying, “Let the women have their glory, man! We let that shit go down, in five, ten years they gonna have kids raising their children to be big strong motherfuckers, then turn into women, and take over the sport and get million dollar contracts.”

While it’s hard to take the gold-chain-wearing rapper seriously as a wise anthropological oracle, his prediction seems pretty spot on as far as we’re concerned. What’s stopping other men, who aren’t excelling in men’s sports, from “transitioning” into women and then becoming the best athlete in their field?

Nothing. 

Maybe it will turn into an industry. Boosie added that people would jump at the chance to make money off such a ridiculous idea.

“Yeah go get a motherf**ker that’s 7’5” and turn him to a woman!" Boosie exclaimed, mocking the concept. "And put him on a motherf**king NCAA team, and have him dunking like Shaq!”

Boosie’s take is spot on. For us "regular folk," that’s exactly how it felt to see Thomas crush the second and third place ladies in her race.

Boosie then stressed the inherent differences between men and women to make his point.

“Women don’t get paid like men," he said. "Women don’t go through the stuff – bro, a woman’s [vagina] bleeds! Like bro, you know what women go through, man?!”

Of course the language is disgusting, but the streetwise rapper at least knows that a trans woman’s body is not the same as an actual woman’s. Does the left know that?

“Get the fuck out the pool, man. Get your ass out the pool, man!” Boosie said, addressing Thomas directly. "Real shit. You’re cheatin. Get your ass out the pool. It’s not acceptable in my mind!”

Well he may have a foul mouth and some other moral blindspots, but Boosie’s mind seems to be more sane than than that of anyone defending Lia’s recent “achievements.”
