Taylor Swift attacks with force: ‘Immediately take away the gold medal from Katie Specer for her sex change,’
In a movement that left social media in shock and sparked outrage in progressive circles, pop star Taylor Swift reportedly called for transgender athlete Katie Specer to be stripped of her recent gold medal in women’s athletics.
In a now-deleted tweet, captured by thousands of screenshots, Swift reportedly declared: “This is not feminism. This is not equality. I immediately stripped Katie Specer of her medal.”
Although Swift, 35, has long been considered a vocal advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and feminist groups, the unexpected stance has sparked a storm of controversy, with fans and critics taking issue with what some call a betrayal and others see as a necessary stance to protect women’s sports.
“You can’t erase biological reality because it’s uncomfortable,” wrote one of the supporters of Swift’s alleged comments on X (formerly on Twitter). “Justice counts. Taylor is brave enough to
On the other hand, LGBTQ+ activists and Swift’s former allies were quick to condemn PopStar’s remarks. Glaad released a statement calling the comments “dangerous and irresponsible rhetoric that fuels transphobia and undermines inclusion in sports.”
Katie Spicer, the 28-year-old transgender athlete and cyclocross champion, broke her silence on Instagram last night, writing: “I earned my medal like any other athlete. I have nothing to apologize for.”
The world of sport is also divided. Several female athletes have expressed private concerns about the fairness of women’s sport, but fear the repercussions for speaking out. Meanwhile, organizations like USA Track & Field have reiterated their commitment to supporting transgender athletes in accordance with current inclusion guidelines.
Adding to the chaos, Swift’s team has yet to confirm the authenticity of the post, fueling speculation about whether her account was hacked, whether she was misspoken, or whether the statement truly reflects her views.
If the hashtag #caceltaylorswift goes viral along with #stadwithtaylor, it’s clear this debate won’t be resolved anytime soon.
Is this the beginning of the end of the “sweetness of America” or the dawn of the great heroine of the implacable cultural war?
