JULIA BECK (TRANS-EXCLUSIONARY RADICAL FEMINIST): When we get down to it, women and girls all share a biological reality. We are all female. But if any man, if any male person can call himself a woman or legally identify as female, then predatory men will do so in order to gain access to women's single-sex spaces, and this puts every woman and girl at risk.
TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): That seems -- From the beginning, I don't weigh in on this often because sexual politics isn’t morass, and it’s not worth it to be totally honest with you. But I have enough daughters that I care, and my instinct has always been this change in our society -- which we never debated, the terms have never been clarified -- is not going to be good for girls in the long run. Do you share that concern?
BECK: I definitely do agree. Like I said, this puts every woman and girl at risk of male violence, and this is already happening in many states. In many states, men can legally identify themselves as female and gain access to women's single-sex spaces, and sports is just one institution where men are taking titles, scholarships, and this is a problem.
