Lance Armstrong Reveals His Opinion On Transgender Athletes

There is perhaps no more heated debate topic in today's sports world than transgender athletes.

Athletes like Lia Thomas, who dominated in the pool after transitioning from Penn's men's to women's team, have sparked a lot of debate across the sports world.

Lance Armstrong, who won seven Tour de France titles while doping, has weighed in on the topic.

"Have we really come to a time and place where spirited debate is not only frowned upon, but feared? Where people’s greatest concern is being fired, shamed or canceled? As someone all too familiar with this phenomenon, I feel I'm uniquely positioned to have these conversations," he tweeted.

"Of all the controversial and polarizing subjects out there today, I'm not sure there are any as heated as the topic of Trans athletes in sport.

"Is there not a world in which one can be supportive of the transgender community and curious about the fairness of Trans athletes in sport yet not be labeled a transphobe or a bigot as we ask questions? Do we yet know the answers? And do we even want to know the answers?"

Armstrong is teasing an upcoming conversation with Caitlyn Jenner.

"I think, you know, with sensitive conversations and topics like this people tend to … they’re really afraid to be fired, shamed or canceled," he said in the clip. "Turns out I’m not that afraid of that. I think it’s an important conversation. Especially, I think if it can be handled in this way and I also think the best way to have these conversations and get to a smarter conclusion or even have a smarter conversation is to just to go in fearless and I’m sort of fearless on this one."
