Joe Rogan Attacked for His Comments on Trans Athletes

This is a video clip on YouTube throwing back to JRE episode 1208 with Jordan Peterson as guest. It shows Rogan talking about his experience.

Joe continued,

“You want to have them do it in chess, you want to have them do it in something non-physical, sure. You want to be recognized as a woman, sure.”

At this point, his guest famed Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson said,

“A tough woman can beat a variety of men but a really tough man can beat all women.

Joe agrees with him,

“That’s the reality. They want to pretend like you can even out the playing field with hormones, no you can even it a little.”
