Rightwingers made a “comedy” movie attacking trans women in sports & it looks terrible

The far-right and viciously anti-trans Daily Wire has announced its first feature-length comedy film written to mock trans women and girls who are fighting for the right to participate in sports as their gender.

A trailer for the film entitled Lady Ballers depicts a group of cisgender men deciding to pretend to be trans women and join a women’s basketball league as one team with the intent of dominating the sport.

The trailer calls the film the “most triggering comedy of the year,” a derisive reference to the right-wing narrative that progressives are “snowflakes” who are easily triggered. This is ironic, considering that the people at The Daily Wire were so triggered by the existence of trans people that they made an entire movie about something that has never happened.

Clips also show the film mocking trans activist Dylan Mulvaney – who is not a professional athlete at all – and reveal a cameo by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX). Another scene also shows the actors disrespecting the concept of trans identities by saying it’s also possible to be “trans age” and play on children’s sports teams as adults. The trailer then cuts to an adult severely injuring a child during a baseball game.

The film stars several Daily Wire commentators, including one of its most well-known, Matt Walsh, who is known for his own anti-trans film, What is a Woman?

Lady Ballers also features commentators like Michael Knowles and Ben Shapiro, as well as anti-trans activist Riley Gaines (now Riley Barker after getting married). While Gaines and others like her have argued that trans women participating in sports is an attack on cisgender women, the entire premise of the film appears to be that cis women are terrible at sports and that cis men are naturally superior.
