Caitlyn Jenner: Lia Thomas has a 'massive, physical advantage' over fellow swimmers

>> TRANS COLLEGE FORMER LEAH THOMAS IS SPEAKING OUT ON HER FIRST TV INTERVIEW NOW SAYING SHE DIDN'T TRANSITION GAIN A COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE BUT NOW MANY ON THE LEFT ARE TRYING TO CANCEL ANYONE THAT DOESN'T AUTOMATICALLY HEAP PRAISE ON LEAH THOMAS. NOW, EVEN TENNIS LEGEND -- AND I MEAN LEGEND, MARTINA NAVRATILOVA IS FACING BLOWBACK AFTER THE 18-TIME GRAND SLAM WINNER -- AN AMAZING PLAYER -- TOLD THE NEW YORKTIMES F I FACED THE MALE EQUIVALENT OF LEAH IN TENNIS, THAT'S BIOLOGY. I WOULD HAVE HAD NO HOT AND I WOULD HAVE BEEN LIVID. HERE IS CAITLYN JENNER ALONG WITH FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR TAMMY BRUCE. GOOD TO SEE YOU BOTH. I SAW YOUR COMMENTS, CAITLYN. YOU SAID -- YOU WERE RIGHT, -- SHE FOLLOWED THE RULES AS THEY WERE WRITTEN. PROBLEM IS THE RULES AREN'T FAIR, WHICH YOU ACKNOWLEDGED ON THIS PROGRAM. THAT'S THE PROBLEM. >> IT CERTAINLY IS, THIS IS NOT LEAH THOMAS' FAULT. IT'S REALLY THE WOKE WORLD THAT'S OUT THERE RIGHT NOW. IT GAVE LEAH THOMAS THE ABILITY TO TAKE AWAY MEDALS FROM OTHER ATHLETES. SHE PLAYED BY THE RULES BUT MY BEEF HAS BEEN WITH THE NCAA. THE NCAA SHOULD BE OUT TO PROTECT WOMEN'S SPORTS. YOU KNOW, TRANSITIONING -- I REALLY FEEL LIKE IT COMES WITH RESPONSIBILITY AND INTEGRITY. AND I THINK IN THE "GOOD MORNING AMERICA" SHOW THAT SHE DID, I THINK THERE WAS A LACK OF THAT. IT WAS ALL ABOUT HER AND HER HAPPINESS WHERE WHEN SHE WAS A MALE SWIMMER A FEW YEARS AGO, SHE WASN'T HAPPY AT ALL. NOW, SHE'S ALL OF A SUDDEN HAPPY. I AMEND TO HAPPINESS. I'M GLAD SHE'S HAPPY, BUT SHE DID IT AT THE INTENSE OF THE OTHER FEMALE ATH-- AT THE EXPENSE OF THE OTHER FEMALE ATHLETES. INDIVIDUAL HAPPINESS HERE IN LEAH'S CASE CANNOT TAKE PRIORITY OVER THE UNDENIABLE BIOLOGICAL FACT THAT SHE'S TRANS. AND SHE'S GOT A MASSIVE PHYSICAL ADVANTAGE OVER THE OTHER ATHLETES. I MEAN, YOU SEE HER ON THE BLOCKS, YOU SEE THE GIRLS STANDING NEXT TO HER, SHE'S LOOKING UP TO HER -- SHE'S VERY TALL. THE GIRL IS GOING, I CAN'T BEAT THAT. I'M GOING FOR SECOND PLACE. IT SHOULDN'T BE THAT WAY. THE NCAA HAS TO PROTECT WOMEN'S SPORTS. >> NOW THEY WANT TO TAKE IT TO THE OLYMPICS, TAMMY. WHAT'S YOUR THOUGHTS THAT? >> CLEARLY THE RULES DO HAVE TO CHANGE. CAITLYN IS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. THE RULES AREN'T WRITTEN WITH THIS KIND OF SITUATION IN MIND. IT'S ABOUT THE WOKE SOCIETY BUT WHENEVER THE RULES THAT WE ALL LIVE UNDER SEEM TO BE REALLY ABSURDLY RIDICULOUS T DOES COME DOWN TO CHARACTER. IT COMES DOWN TO THE NATURE OF WHO WE ARE, ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT WE'RE GOING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF RULES THAT WERE WRITTEN AND SET FOR SOMETHING ENTIRELY DIFFERENT WITHOUT CERTAIN EXPECTATIONS. AND THIS IS WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO WHAT WE'VE BEEN SEEING WITH LIA THOMAS. I'VE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR QUITE SOMETIME. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH TRANSGENDERRISM AT THIS POINT. IT IS ABOUT CHARACTER. AND IT'S ABOUT SELFISHNESS. IT'S ABOUT SELF-INDULGENCE. IT'S ABOUT NARCISSISM. CAITLYN WASN'T KIDDING WHEN SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT HAPPINESS. LIA NOTED THAT WHEN SHE COMPETED AGAINST MEN THAT SHE WAS MISERABLE AND WHEN SHE COMPETES AGAINST WOMEN, SHE'S HAPPIER. WELL, SHE'S WINNING MORE! SHE DID NOT WIN LIKE THIS AGAINST MEN. WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE OLYMPICS, SEAN, THERE WOULD BE NO REAL CHANCE TO EVEN COMPETE AT ALL LET ALONE BE ASSIGNED ONTO THE OLYMPIC SWIMMING TEAM. SO THIS IS A REMARKABLE EXAMINATION ABOUT SELF-INDULGENCE AND MALIGNANT NARCISSISM WHEN IT COMES TO WHAT YOU'RE WILLING TO DO TO OTHERS IN ORDER TO GET TO WHAT YOU WANT WHEN IT'S INHERENTLY AND COMPLETELY UNFAIR. THIS IS WHAT THIS IS. THE TRANSGENDER PEOPLE OUT THERE -- CAITLYN VERY GOOD EXAMPLE OF SOMEONE WHO TRANSITIONED WHO'S GOT CHARACTER -- THIS IS ABOUT INDIVIDUAL ATTITUDE. THIS IS ABOUT WHO WE ARE AS PEOPLE. NOT ABOUT THE TRANSGENDER PEOPLE AT ALL. >> THAT'S A GOOD POINT, YOU KNOW, CAITLYN, WE TALKED ABOUT THIS. YOU DRIVE THE BALL 200 YARDS. I'M NEVER PLAYING GOLF AGAINST YOU. >> BRING CASH! A LOT OF IT! >> BUT THE POINT IS YOU WOULDN'T PLAY A SENIOR EVENT BECAUSE YOU FEEL YOU HAVE THAT ADVANTAGE. WE HAVE ABOUT 30 SECONDS. >> YEAH. NO. I DEFINITELY DO. I'VE BEEN THROUGH THIS WHOLE PROCESS. IN FACT, I'M COMPLETELY TRANSITIONED. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE CASE IS IN LIA'S CASE BUT I'VE BEEN ON HORMONES FOR A VERY LONG TIME AND COULD HIT THE BALL A LONG WAY. THAT'S NOT A PROBLEM. HERE IS A GOOD EXAMPLE. WHAT IF THE NBA ADOPTED RULES OF THE NCAA? MICHAEL JORDAN AT HIS PRIME ALL OF A SUDDEN DECIDES I'M TRANS. ONE YEAR ON HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY AND HE COULD PLAY IN THE WNBA. HOW DO YOU THINK THAT WOULD WORK OUT? >> Sean: I GOT TO ROLL BUT I THINK -- I THINK IF I DO PLAY, I'LL BRING
