Gray responded, “I know!” before describing the physical attributes that she believes are necessary to be a woman. “I’d say a human being with boobs. You have to start there. And a vagina!” she said, adding, ‘That’s getting confusing.” The talk then turned to trans competitors in sports, with Morgan first claiming that he “supports all trans rights to fairness and equality” — which Gray appeared to agree with — before the host said that he is against trans women “born to obvious physical superior bodies… thrashing the women at their sport.”
