Popular podcast host Joe Rogan criticized Democratic Pennsylvania State Sen. Lindsey Williams on Friday for saying the female body is equivalent to the male body.
Williams made the claim during testimony Wednesday at the Pennsylvania State Capitol in opposition to the Save Women’s Sports Act, which would prohibit biological males from participating in female sports, according to Fox News. Rogan, on “The Joe Rogan Experience,” reacted to a clip of her testimony, which included the claim that “female bodies are just as strong and fast and capable as male bodies.”

“That’s so crazy to say. She just got caught up in the woke bullshit. She lives in an echo chamber probably. All the people around her are all either in academia or in some sort of left-wing fucking ideology,” Rogan said. “And they really believe that, and they believe that you should say that because if you’re not saying that, you’re saying women are less than men. That’s not what anybody’s saying. Strength and speed and athleticism is not all of life.”
“To say that men can’t run faster than women is just — you’re denying statistics and science and all the information that we have gathered forever. We have so much data,” Rogan added. “High school 15-year-old boys beat the women’s soccer team, the professional team. So shut the fuck up. This is stupid to say. This is stupid to say. It’s not transphobic, homophobic, it’s not genderphobic, it’s not misogynistic. It’s just a fact of physical nature.”
President Donald Trump signed an executive order Feb. 5 to bar biological males who identify as females from participating in women’s and girls’ sports across the nation. Following his executive order, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) updated its policy to block biological males from competing in female sports.

Trump’s Department of Education also demanded that athletic associations, including the NCAA, strip biological males, such as athlete Lia Thomas, who identifies as a woman, of female’s titles and records they previously secured while competing in women’s sports.
Thomas competed in the 2022 NCAA championships, winning the 500-yard women’s final by 1.75 seconds.
Several biological males have also claimed victory in female categories at the high school level, according to local reports. For instance, a biological male won the girl’s 400-meter race in the track and field state championship in Washington state, KREM 2 News reported.
