The issue captured the attention of the U.S., including President Donald Trump.
Watkins asked Mahomes about her thoughts on transgender athletes competing against girls in terms of fairness.
“Personally, from being a woman and a girl and doing co-ed teams throughout my life and just having fun in sports there is a huge difference between male and female,” she told Watkins. “There is a huge difference and as a female I just think that it is not a fair matchup. A transgender, I am OK with, I understand, I love everyone. But when it comes to physical strength and you know just our DNA I don’t think it’s fair.

“… I just think maybe they create a league that everyone that’s transgender could go to and have a fair game or activity. I just think there is a difference in DNA. I just think that women really need to be with women. And men need to be with men. I think that makes it fair. That is just my personal beliefs. Other places, you know whatever, but I just think in sports and community I just don’t agree with it just because physically women are not as strong as men.”
Mahomes has not been afraid to share her opinions.
