Women's soccer star Megan Rapinoe said comedy legend Dave Chappelle is among those directly responsible for anti-transgender violence.

"I don't want to mince words about it," Rapinoe said in an interview, cited in a Tuesday report.

"Dave Chappelle making jokes about trans people directly leads to violence, whether it's verbal or otherwise, against trans people. When Martina [Navratilova] or Sage [Steele] or whoever are talking about this, people aren't hearing it just in the context of elite sports. They're saying, 'The rest of my life, this is how I’m going to treat trans people.'"

The 38-year-old also targeted anti-transgender policies.

"It's particularly frustrating when women’s sports is weaponized," she said.

"Oh, now we care about fairness? Now we care about women’s sports? That's total bulls***. And show me all the trans people who are nefariously taking advantage of being trans in sports. It's just not happening."

Rapinoe, an outspoken member and advocate for the LGBT community, has recently stated that she would welcome transgender athletes on the United States Women's Soccer Team, even if they replaced biologically female players.

"‘You’re taking a 'real' woman's place,' that's the part of the argument that's still extremely transphobic," she said.

"I see trans women as real women. What you're saying automatically in the argument, you're sort of telling on yourself already, is you don’t believe these people are women. Therefore, they're taking the other spot. I don't feel that way."

Rapinoe has stated that this summer will be her last appearance at the Women's World Cup, and she plans to retire at the end of the 2023 National Women’s Soccer League season.
