Conservative commentator Candace Owens has once again ignited a firestorm on social media, this time calling for the outright ban of transgender swimmer Lia Thomas from women’s sports.

Owens, known for her unapologetic takes on cultural and political issues, made the bold declaration during a recent segment of her show, setting off a fierce online debate that has divided audiences across the internet.

Owens’ Blistering Take on Transgender Athletes

During her fiery monologue, Owens did not hold back, slamming what she called the “unfair advantage” of biological males competing against women in sports.

She directly called out Lia Thomas, the former University of Pennsylvania swimmer who became a controversial figure after dominating NCAA women’s swimming competitions.

Owens argued that allowing transgender women to compete in female categories is “an insult to women’s rights” and insisted that “science, fairness, and common sense” must prevail.

“It’s not bigotry, it’s biology,” Owens declared. “Women have fought for decades to have equal opportunities in sports, and now we’re watching those hard-earned victories get erased by political correctness.”

Her comments immediately sent shockwaves through social media, sparking a massive online debate.

As expected, Owens’ remarks triggered a polarizing reaction. Supporters hailed her as a brave voice defending women’s rights, with many arguing that transgender inclusion in women’s sports undermines fairness.

“Candace is 100% right! Women’s sports should be for biological women only!” one user tweeted.
“It’s not transphobia—it’s about protecting fairness in competition,” another echoed.
