In a fiery exchange on his podcast, Dr. Phil found himself under attack from transgender activist Blossom Brown, who accused the longtime psychologist of pushing “conservative propaganda” after he cited scientific evidence showing that biological men are physically stronger than women.
The clash erupted after Dr. Phil addressed the growing controversy around transgender athletes in women’s sports, pointing to well-documented data on bone density, muscle mass, and strength disparities between males and females — even post-transition.
“Everything that I say can actually be proven, it’s scientifically proven,” Blossom fired back. “And I would inquire you to do research on what you’re saying because again, it’s almost like you’re trying to call trans-women men and that is not what trans-women are.”
“It sounds like conservative propaganda, and I think you have drunk the Kool-Aid and have gotten lost in the sauce,” she added.
2025: Debating Basic Biology
The viral moment has sparked outrage and disbelief across social media, with many Americans asking how — in 2025 — the country is still debating whether men are physically stronger than women. What was once a basic understanding of biology has now become a cultural flashpoint, especially in the debate over fairness in women’s sports.
Dr. Phil, known for his calm and fact-based approach, stood by the evidence, calmly reminding listeners that acknowledging biological differences does not equal hatred or bigotry — but truth is now being branded as hate in some activist circles.
The Bigger Picture
The exchange is just the latest example of the tension between scientific reality and activist ideology. With increasing pressure to redefine terms like gender and sex, public figures who speak out — even respectfully — are being met with accusations of bigotry, no matter how rooted their arguments are in biology and data.
As the 2024 election brought a renewed focus on parental rights, women’s sports, and freedom of speech, this moment on Dr. Phil’s podcast may be a preview of more cultural battles to come.
Because when simply stating that men are biologically stronger than women becomes controversial — we may have, as many are saying, completely lost the plot.
