Earlier this week, WWE women’s United States champion Chelsea Green celebrated International Transgender Day of Visibility in a post via Twitter/X and issued a response to a fan that criticized her for doing so.

Former WWE star Val Venis (Sean Morley) wrote the following message on Twitter/X in regards to be referred to as “hateful” by Chelsea….

“🚨📢 Professional wrestlers are entertainers, first and foremost. However, when entertainers step beyond their role in the entertainment industry to engage in political discourse, it highlights a troubling cultural trend: the expectation that everyday people should blindly align with the political stances of boobtube celebrities without any due process scrutiny. Even more concerning is the tendency to vilify dissenters with labels like ‘transphobic,’ or ‘bigot,’ or as @ImChelseaGreen called me, ‘hateful.’ This uncritical idolization of celebrity opinions is not just irrational; it takes a nuke to the foundation of any meaningful dialogue and critical thinking. My political positions are always open for scrutiny. Republicans regularly challenge my positions, libertarians challenge my positions, and even anarchists challenge my positions. Leftists however do not challenge my positions. They instantly throw the labels of ‘hateful’ ‘bigot’ and ‘anything phobic’ at the reputations of anyone who dare challenge their insane positions.”

Chelsea issued the following response…

“Val, I’ve been holding back from responding with the same level of hostility you’ve shown, but since you keep tagging me, I’ll say this and I won’t be responding again: I’m Canadian—I can’t even vote. So when I speak about human rights, I’m not talking about politics; I’m talking about equality. Although I am sure you would love to take this time to further push your political agenda. I will continue to push for the LGBTQ+ community with my cis privilege. It is the least I can do. End of discussion. ♥️.”
