Ted Cruz Has Cameo in Anti-Trans ‘Comedy’ ‘Lady Ballers’ (Trailer)
Daily Beast ^ | 11 27 2023 | Helen Holmes

Posted on 11/28/2023 1:19:33 PM PST by yesthatjallen

The Daily Wire, the right-wing media company founded by conservative host Ben Shapiro, released a trailer on Monday for its first full-length feature film, a virulently transphobic “comedy” about a team of male basketball players who decide to identify as women in order to start competing in—and winning—women’s sporting events.

The movie, Lady Ballers, which features cameos from Texas Senator Ted Cruz and Shapiro himself, is slated for an exclusive release on the Daily Wire’s YouTube channel. Matt Walsh, who put out his own anti-trans documentary for the company, appears in the film as well.

It is a crucial moment in history for trans athletes: Every public comment made in the ongoing, impassioned debate over fairness and participation has the potential to sway a governing body in sports to make it easier or harder for a trans athlete to compete at all, making the cruelty of Lady Ballers all the more stark.

Bravo for Senator Cruz being in the movie. You know he’ll get a bunch of flack for it. I’ve been getting a vibe from him that he’s just about had it with all the woke crap from the left and their phony insurrection nonsense.

Cruz may have some issues but he loves this country!

No one to my knowledge is stopping them from competing against their own natural gender. They can even wear skirts and wigs if they really want to. Incidentally, I’m not aware of any women who want to be men who are fighting to compete against men in sports. Why could that be, I wonder?

I had seen the title ‘Lady Ballers’ and assumeed it was some liberal rommp pushing trans. It’s interesting to see it’s the opposite.

I remember that movie, with Tony Curtis and Jack Lemon.

It was a screwball comedy (obviously), and very, very funny!
I saw it on Late Shows, not in the theater.
