Candace Owens, the political commentator who never shies away from a controversial statement, has once again ignited a firestorm of debate. This time, it’s over the increasingly polarizing figure of Lia Thomas, the transgender swimmer making waves both in and out of the pool. Owens’s position?

Her argument, echoing the sentiments of many others on the right, hinges on the concept of inherent biological advantage. She believes that regardless of hormone treatments or gender identity, male-born athletes possess physical advantages that make competitions unfair when they participate in women’s sports.

But let’s dive deeper into Owens’ perspective and the broader implications of such views.
