'It's not fair': Fitness trainer Jillian Michaels says transgender athletes will 'systematically destroy women’s sports'

Fitness entrepreneur Jillian Michaels warned that allowing men who identify as women to compete in women's sports is not only unfair to women but could mark the end of women's competitive athletics altogether.

Michaels, who has been a celebrated fitness trainer for decades, spoke to OutKick's Tomi Lahren on her show, "Tomi Lahren Is Fearless," when she was asked about the controversial topic.

"What do you say to those that say that transgender athletes should compete against women and that Title IX should be open to anybody and everybody who feels they are a female?" the host asked.

"Sports is biological. It just is, and I think that you’re starting to actually see women get hurt."

Michaels then referenced Fallon Fox, a former mixed martial arts fighter who was born a man but declined to inform promoters of such when he began fighting against women.

"Fallon Fox, for example, is an MMA fighter who is a transgender female. Beating the s**t … out of biological women. Like, this is beyond the fact of fairness. What we have trouble with as a society is fairness, right? Everybody wants to be fair. It’s not fair," Michaels explained.

"I understand it’s not fair to trans athletes because where are they going to compete? It’s also not fair to biological female athletes. You have an issue, right? You’re not going to be able to be fair to everyone," the entrepreneur explained.

Michaels then referenced would-be swimming sensation Will "Lia" Thomas, a male swimmer who was the center of controversy after competing against females in NCAA women's swimming.

"Lia Thomas is six foot one. The percentage of biological females who are six foot one is under 1%. Lia Thomas was No. 400 when she swam as a male. And No. 1 when she swam as a female," Michaels pointed out.

"We’re going to systematically destroy women’s sports. I’m sorry, listen, if you want to be trans, I support you. I want you to have all the same rights that I do. But at the end of the day, someone’s going to get effed here. And if you’re looking at, okay, you’ve got X amount of trans athletes and X amount of women, you’re not going to win this one. Right. No one’s coming out unscathed."

Fox fought six women between 2012 and 2014, winning five fights. In his second fight, he brutally knocked out a woman in 39 seconds. In his final fight, he reportedly broke opponent Tammika Brents' skull.

"I’ve never felt so overpowered ever in my life and I am an abnormally strong female in my own right," Brents told Whoa TV in 2014.

The only female who defeated Fox, Ashlee Evans-Smith, also spoke out and said Fox shouldn't compete against men or women; "she did have an advantage. She definitely did.”

Fox didn't care for the remarks and cited the fact that Evans-Smith defeated him as evidence that he didn't have an advantage.

"The fighter WHO BEAT ME says I have UNFAIR ADVANTAGES," Fox wrote in 2015, according to Calf Kicker. "Then she went on to say that I hit hard. Damn right I hit hard! I’m a MMA fighter and that’s what we do!" the transgender athlete claimed.
