Piers Morgan SLAMS Trans Athlete as 'Cheat' in Explosive TV Showdown

Piers Morgan, never one to shy away from a fight, took a sledgehammer to the transgender athlete debate, calling out a male pickleball player for cheating women out of fair competition.

On Monday’s “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” Morgan directly confronted Sara Weiss, a trans-identifying male semi-pro pickleball player, accusing him of cheating by competing against female athletes.

Morgan argued that biological males have an inherent physical advantage, a fact he said justifies separating the sexes in sports.

"It is cheating," Morgan stated. "It is knowingly using a superior biology from birth to beat women who are born with female bodies."

Weiss countered, claiming his participation is “not a threat to gender women.”

Morgan shot back, pressing, "Why do you want to be a cheat? That’s what you’re doing. You’re cheating."

When pro-trans activist Dr. Helen Webberley called Morgan’s remarks disrespectful, he doubled down, saying, "It cuts to the heart of the debate."

He challenged Webberley’s stance as a doctor, stating, "The idea that you’re a doctor and don’t think this is about science is breathtaking to me."

Morgan highlighted the physical risks to women, citing cases like Payton McNabb, a 19-year-old volleyball player who suffered a brain bleed, traumatic brain injury, partial paralysis, and vision loss after a male athlete spiked a ball into her head in April 2023.

He also referenced Lia Thomas, a male swimmer who ranked 544th in men’s competition but dominated women’s events at the 2022 NCAA Championships.

In a related controversy, AB Hernandez, a biological male, dominated the California Interscholastic Federation Track and Field Championship in Clovis, California, last weekend, winning gold in girls’ high jump and triple jump, and silver in long jump.

The event drew heavy protests after President Donald Trump threatened to cut federal funding if CIF allowed Hernandez to compete.

CIF’s responded by establishing a "pilot program" under Bylaw 300.D to award co-championships to girls finishing behind Hernandez.

Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon issued a letter to California’s public school districts, warning that compliance with CIF Bylaw 300.D violates federal law.

"Knowingly depriving female students of athletic opportunities and benefits on the basis of their sex would constitute unconstitutional sex discrimination under the Equal Protection Clause,” Dhillon wrote. “Scientific evidence shows that upsetting the historical status quo and forcing girls to compete against males would deprive them of athletic opportunities and benefits because of their sex.”

She gave districts until 5:00 p.m. ET on June 9, 2025, to certify they will not implement the bylaw or face legal action.

Katie McGuinness’s family, whose daughter competed against Hernandez, criticized CIF’s workaround.

"We are grateful that President Trump is fighting for female athletes and giving them a fair shot to compete on a level playing field. CIF's ‘solution’ to this situation, which allows additional girls to compete at the state championship who otherwise didn't qualify because the transgender athlete took their spot, isn't good enough – it's still an unfair competition and an injustice to the girls competing," the family said in a statement.

"Allowing biological males to compete in women’s sports is unfair, unjust and defies common sense," the family added. 

The left wants us to believe men can magically become women by saying so, but biology isn’t a feelings contest.
