‘We Have a Very Real Problem’: Disney Actor Attacked by Co-Stars for Defending Biological Women By Tré Goins-Phillips for Faith Wire
When ‘your truth’ trumps ‘the truth’ and forces me to pretend that it’s not a lie, we have a very real problem.”
Those are the words of Natasha Ward, an actor on the Disney-owned ABC series “Station 19.” She shared the comment on a story posted to her Instagram account, defending biological women amid the debate over the transgender movement.
“Supporting trans freedom,” she wrote, “does not mean it’s OK to violate the rights of biological women.”\

“Pretending that trans women are not men who have a biological advantage, and therefore place an undue burden on biological women, is make believe and it is not science nor fact,” Ward continued, later adding, “In the long run, women will have to take illegal substances in order to beat men ‘identifying’ as women in women’s sports.”
The “Station 19” actor published the social media post as debate has ensued over University of Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas, a biological man who identifies as a transgender woman. Late last week, Thomas beat two biological women — one of whom is an Olympic silver medalist from Florida — in the 500-yard freestyle event of the Women’s Swimming and Diving Championships.
Thomas’ victory over two bonafide women caused such an uproar Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) issued a proclamation Tuesday naming Sarasota native Emma Weyant, who finished a second and a half after Thomas, the true winner.
