A transgender activist snapped at Dr. Phil after he presented statistics that suggested male athletes have an advantage over female ones.
Blossom, a transgender female, told Dr. Phil in an episode that aired on March 31 that he needed to take 'several seats' after she accused him of insinuating that transgender females were men.
'Respectfully Dr. Phil, I’m gonna need you to have several seats. Let's be clear, trans-women, again, are women,' she snapped on Dr. Phil Primetime. 'What you're showing me are male statistics and trans-women are not males.
'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.'
The heated moment came after Dr. Phil cited statistics claiming biological men have physical advantages over biological women in grip, quad and arm strengths, punch power, and more.
Dr. Phil, who does not hold a medical degree, cited Biologist Jerry Coyne's blog as his source. Coyne has written books on evolution and often writes about politics and wildlife on his blog.

Phil, who has a PhD in psychology, also cited a Center on Sport Policy and Conduct study that showed that biological men outperform biological women by 10 to 60 percent, depending on the sport.

The study found that men had up to a 13 percent advantage in sports like rowing and swimming and up to a 34 percent advantage in activities such as weightlifting and serving a volleyball against biological women.
However, Blossom didn't care, citing that transgender females are not male and cannot be compared to male statistics.
'It sounds like conservative propaganda, and I think you have drunk the Kool-Aid and have gotten lost in the sauce,' Blossom said.
'Trans-women work just as hard as women to compete.'
She went on to say that some cis-gendered women are stronger and faster than transgender women.
'It is a case-by-case basis,' Blossom lamented.
'I don't know why you're trying to group a group of trans-people into one ideology that is false,' she said. 'I think the statistics that you've shown me prove nothing when it comes to trans-women.
'Get up there and show me specifically with trans-women and cis-women and then we can revisit this conversation.'

Trump signed an executive order that bans transgender athletes from women's sports
She then called Dr. Phil's opinion 'bias,' 'bologna' and 'propaganda' against a very small group of athletes.
'I think it's very dangerous when we put all women in a position to be tested to prove that they're not trans, and that is nothing more than waste and fraud, in my opinion,' she said.
She is referring to Trump's executive order that bans transgender athletes from women's sports.
Transgender female athletes do have certain rules they have to follow in order to participate in women's sports.
The NCAA previously required athletes to be on hormones for at least a year to compete on women's teams.
As of February, the college sports agency does not allow transgender female athletes to compete on women's teams, its website stated. Those athletes may practice with the team, but cannot compete.
Transgender female athletes who are undergoing hormone treatment are expected to lose muscle mass and strength while transitioning, according to the University of San Francisco.
A National Library of Medicine study found muscle mass significantly decreases after the first year of hormone therapy.
However, it did say it was possible for transgender female to 'retain strength advantages over cis-gendered women, even after three years of hormone therapy.'
The study did not, however, say it could rule over the participation of transgender athletes in women's sports.
