Breaking News: Andy Cohen calls out ex-The View star Meghan McCain for ‘previous ally-ship’ to LGBTQ community amid anti-trans post…..See More

McCain shared a social media post alleging that young women are “suffering from traumatic brain injuries as a result of trans athletes.”

Controversial conservative pundit and former The View cohost Meghan McCain’s recent resharing of a social media post that some have deemed to be anti-trans has drawn the ire of Bravo personality and Watch What Happens Live host Andy Cohen.

On Monday morning, McCain, 40, commented on an X post that outlined an alleged “traumatic brain injury after a transgender-identifying man spiked a volleyball into” the head of a 19-year-old, amid President Donald Trump’s signing of an executive order banning trans women from women’s sports.

Democrats defending young women suffering from traumatic brain injuries as a result of trans athletes is why they will continue losing every election,” McCain shared on the social media site, to which Cohen replied, “Surprised you’re buying into the vilification of the trans community given the real problems happening in this country, your previous ally-ship of the lgbtq community, and the fact that this non issue affects about four people in this country.”

In response, McCain said: “Surprised you’re okay with violence against female athletes,” and claimed that the player’s account was “just one story” among many. “You have my cell, always happy to talk privately or publicly on either of our shows because these conversations are reductive to hash out on social media,” she finished.

When reached for comment, a representative for McCain declined Entertainment Weekly’s request for comment, but noted that McCain would elaborate on her thoughts via her personal and professional channels.

McCain has been a guest on Cohen’s WWHL talk show several times in the past, where she’s spoken about everything from The View’s COVID scare involving Kamala Harris to Republican-leaning discourse on Bravo programming.

McCain has previously stated that she’s an LGBTQ+ community supporter, though Trump’s policies regarding trans people and the queer community have been labeled as harmful.

According to the Human Rights Campaign, “Sports bans are part of a cruel effort by anti-LGBTQ+ hate groups like the Alliance Defending Freedom to further stigmatize and discriminate against LGBTQ+ people across the country,” the organization’s website observes. “In fact, legislators have repeatedly been unable to justify the need for these laws, and admit that very few transgender youth even play sports.”

In a recent interview, RuPaul’s Drag Race star Hormona Lisa told EW she feels that Republicans “don’t see us as human,” with regard to an uptick in anti-trans legislation sweeping the country over the last few years.

Something I’ve always tried to do is validate and love myself where I don’t need it externally, and that’s something we’re going to have to all focus on developing, especially over these next four years. It’s not going to be the last thing to happen towards trans and queer people in general,” Hormona, star of Drag Race season 17, told EW. “It makes it more important to know what you bring to the table and that it has value. If somebody else doesn’t think it does, from legislation or from this current sitting crazy president….

I don’t know what to think, I’m struggling to put the words together because it doesn’t feel like that’s what’s happening. We’re kind of going in a different direction these last four years, with public perception of trans people, then you have stuff like this come up. It feels surreal.”
