Randi weighed in on whether transgender athletes should be allowed in girls’ and women’s sports.
The mom of the three-time Super Bowl champion Patrick Mahomes said on the MOMetize Your Passion podcast with host Tirralan Watkin, “… as a female, I think that it’s not a fair matchup.”
Randi, who’s the mother of two grown sons and a teenage daughter, insisted she wasn’t using the issue to disapprove of transgender persons.
She does believe that transgender girls and women have a genetic advantage over the competition.
“I love everyone, but when it comes to physical strength and just our DNA, I don’t think it’s fair – because I do have a daughter, and I do have a son,” she said.
“As you develop, there is a difference.
“… But I just think there is a difference in DNA, unfortunately or fortunately.
“And I just think that women really need to be with women, and men need to be with men.”
Randi tends to post about her family and faith on social media.
She revealed her support of President Donald Trump during the 2024 national election.
Randi was spotted rocking a MAGA hat in a social media post.
Randi’s message on the trans athlete debate comes after the US star gymnast Biles erupted over political activist Gaines speaking out against transgender athletes being able to compete in women’s sports.
The ex-swimmer Gaines slammed a Minnesota high school softball team for turning off a social media post celebrating a team victory because the star player was transgender.
Biles called Gaines a bully and wrote to her on X, “Bully someone your own size, which would ironically be a male.”
Gaines responded and also accused her of bullying.

She also claimed that fans commenting on Biles’ post disagreed with the seven-time gold medalist.
Biles eventually issued an apology for making things personal with Gaines.
In an interview with TMZ recently, Gaines pulled back on her remarks.
“Simone is someone I’ve looked up to, I’ve respected for so long,” she said.
“She has done so much for women’s sports, of course, for the sport of gymnastics, but even broader than that for women in general.

“Her stance felt so deeply visceral to me not because of the personal attacks, but more so again because of how she used her platform.
“A platform where young girls all across the nation, young girls like my little sister, who’s a gymnast, look up to her.”
