When Christian soccer player Elizabeth Eddy wrote that only women should play in the National Women’s Soccer League, her teammates called her transphobic and racist — but all she did was explain that men and women are different.The professional soccer player for Angel City FC had her op-ed published in the New York Post, where she wrote, “I’m concerned that without clarity about who the league is for, it will lose its identity and its momentum.”Eddy proposed specific testing methods to verify players’ eligibility, asking the NWSL to adopt a clear standard, using the example that perhaps all players should be born with ovaries as a requirement.Another option she pointed out was SRY gene tests, which are used in boxing to determine eligibility to compete among women.The player also cited stats from the NIH, which show measurable differences between men and women when it comes to muscle mass, bone density, and cardiovascular capacity, which directly affect competitive outcomes.“It’s so stupid that we even have to say this,” BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey comments on “Relatable.”“The production of testosterone is what makes the difference, not only in puberty but also in utero. So their bone density, their muscle mass, their aerobic and anaerobic capacity. Even if they go on cross-sex hormones, it is insurmountable. A woman just cannot overcome that,” Stuckey says.“And so, she is speaking the scientific truth about this in an op-ed. Like, she didn’t even bring up any ideological argument. She brought up a scientific argument. She is a Christian. Christians are very clear on this,” she continues.Despite her scientific argument, her teammates still went public to make sure everyone knew they vehemently disagreed.“I really want to start off by saying that that article does not speak for this team in this locker room. I’ve had a lot of convos with my teammates in the past few days, and they are hurt, and they are harmed by the article. And also, they are disgusted by some of the things that were said in the article,” one teammate said during a press conference.“It’s really important for me to say that. And we don’t agree with the things written for a plethora of reasons, but mostly the undertones come across as transphobic and racist as well,” she continued, pointing out that the article calls for genetic testing and has a photo of an African player featured by the headline.“That’s very harmful, and to me it’s inherently racist because to single out this community based on them looking or being different is absolutely a problem,” she added.Stuckey is disturbed by the teammate’s reaction, saying, “I just cannot. Racist because they dared use a picture of a black woman.”“This sister in Christ stood up for what is good, right, and true, and protection of women and girls, and she is getting blasted for it in the comments. She’s getting blasted from her own teammates. She’s being called things that are just not true,” Stuckey says.“They are maligning her character because she spoke to what is biologically a fact,” she adds.Want more from Allie Beth Stuckey?To enjoy more of Allie’s upbeat and in-depth coverage of culture, news, and theology from a Christian, conservative perspective, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Trump administration's request to extend the pause of an order to fully fund food aid benefits for a few days.Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson previously granted the emergency pause on an order from U.S. District Judge John McConnell from Rhode Island for the government to fully fund the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. Many on the left excoriated her for what they perceived as a pro-Trump order. 'The only way to end this crisis — which the executive is adamant to end — is for Congress to reopen the government.' Solicitor General John Sauer argued in the emergency appeal on behalf of the government."The core power of Congress is that of the purse, while the executive is tasked with allocating limited resources across competing priorities," he said."But here, the court below took the current shutdown as effective license to declare a federal bankruptcy and appoint itself the trustee," Sauer contined, "charged with picking winners and losers among those seeking some part of the limited pool of remaining federal funds."While the Trump administration had agreed to partially fund the program by about 65%, McConnell's order called the government to use a separate pool of funding to fully support the program."The only way to end this crisis — which the executive is adamant to end — is for Congress to reopen the government," Sauer said.That effort to end the government shutdown appeared to be successful after Democrats caved to Republicans demands.U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi thanked the court for the ruling. "Our @TheJusticeDept attorneys just secured a further administrative stay through Thursday at midnight at the Supreme Court to prevent further judicial upheaval for the SNAP and Child Nutrition programs," she wrote. "Thank you to the Court for allowing Congress to continue its swift progress to end the shutdown WITHOUT last-ditch disruption from lower courts. We will continue fighting and winning to protect President Trump's agenda from meritless judicial activism."RELATED: Woman goes viral after admitting to being on SNAP benefits for 3 decades Critics of the SNAP program point to examples on social media of recipients proudly admitting to abusing the program. In on case, a woman said she had been on SNAP for nearly three decades, though that report did not indicate whether she was suffering from disabilities."The first thing I did was grab my phone and call, and when I heard 'zero dollars,' my chest went into my throat!" said Maggie Aragon of New Mexico to KOAT-TV. "I have depended on those benefits since the 1990s, and it's detrimental to my life if I don't get them."About 42 million people rely on SNAP benefits. Like Blaze News?
