(Headline USA) Leftists attacked Disney actress Natasha Ward this week for questioning whether transgender athletes should be able to participate in women’s sports.
The Station 19 actress and former athlete posted a picture on Instagram in response to transgender swimmer Lia Thomas’s victory in the NCAA women’s swimming championship finals and said “we need to have this conversation.”
“Supporting #transfreedom does not mean it’s ok to violate the rights of biological #women,” Ward wrote.
“Pretending that trans women are not men who have a biological advantage and therefore place an undue burden on biological women is make believe and it is not science nor fact.”
In response, leftists began attacking Ward online and tagging Disney and her show, Station 19, in an attempt to cancel her:
what is wrong with you #NatashaWard
this is just downright degrading to trans women. nobody is taking away cos womens rights by being trans. I don’t feel violated. this is basically saying that trans women aren’t real women.@Station19 you might want to get rid of her. #Station19 pic.twitter.com/LUhB2ARjTS— erin 👹 (@erfightmastersx) March 21, 2022

As a result, many of the actors Ward works with at ABC and Disney began condemning her as well:
#station19 is a fictional place, but I’m a real person so I’ll comment. There’s 2 sides to this argument: the side of love, understanding, empathy, & support. And the side of bigotry, ignorance, misinformation, & transphobia. Ms. #natashaward, you are on the wrong side. https://t.co/5lmEKJUhDq
