Joe Rogan doesn’t shy away from talking about his political opinions on his podcast. The 55-year-old had an unpleasant experience in the past on multiple occasions, stating his harsh views. Recently, the former Fear Factor host had his say on how transgender athletes should be regulated in professional sports competitions.

The JRE host got bashed in the past when he was trying to be reasonable on the same matter.

Joe Rogan on transgenders in sports competition

In episode #1895 of the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, political commentator Matt Walsh joined the famous host. The stand-up comedian shared he got bashed for his take on transgender athletes. He spoke about a transgender fighter who took advantage of the system and abused it.

Rogan remembered “When there was a transgender fighter that was uh… Hiding the fact.” “The fact that they were biologically male and competed twice, as a woman.” and was “Beating the F*** Out of These Women”. He reacted “I was like… this is crazy!” 

The UFC commentator couldn’t subscribe to the thought that a trans woman was allowed to compete against women.

The podcaster went back in memory lane “I thought I rightly got angry at it, I saw all these articles written..” “All these pieces about how transphobic my position was… and what a horrible person I was.” to share how the media and public were unsupportive of the podcaster’s opinion on the matter.

The UFC commentator explained his anger

Therefore, the jiu-jitsu black belt had a reply to clarify his position. He then said, “Look, if you are a transgender athlete and you tell someone, ‘Hey I was biologically male, but now identify as a female, would you like to fight?’ and that person still says yes? All in.”

Stating that would be unwise, comparing it to skydiving or bull riding. But, the choice must rest on the female competitor, to take on the challenge. The popular UFC commentator also added, “Do whatever wild, dangerous sh*t you wanna do.” “But, to hide the fact that you’re biologically male. And you were a male for 30+ years. That was madness to me!” said the famous podcaster on JRE.

Ultimately, Joe Rogan agreed that trans women should have a place in competitive sports. But forcing women to go against them is not right.
