Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) claimed that "entire men's teams" in the U.S. are transitioning in order to win at women's sports, something that is not happening. Fewer than 10 trans women are currently playing at the college level in the entire country.

Tuberville appeared on Fox News on Sunday when he was asked about a bill to ban trans youth from participating in school sports that failed to pass in the Senate last month.

"We have entire men's teams across this country now that are turning trans," he claimed. "Women's teams, they're turning trans."

"And that's going to be a, uh, a situation where it's going to pick up speed because these woke globalists are pushing these kids to say, if you can't compete in men's sports, let's just transition and say, you're a woman and, and, uh, participate in women's sports. It is dead wrong and we gotta stand up against it."

Tuberville did not name any men's sports teams that have transitioned en masse in order to win at women's sports, something that is unlikely since there hasn't even been a case of one person found to have transitioned for the sole purpose of winning at women's sports.

Moreover, NCAA President Charlie Baker told the Senate last December that there are "less than 10" transgender athletes competing at the college level in the entire country out of over half a million college athletes.
