A number of pro wrestling figures recently celebrated and offered support for the International Transgender Day of Visibility, which came on March 31. Former WWE star Val Venis (real name Sean Morley), on the other hand, disapproved of it, labeling the transgender movement as “harmful to society.”
Additionally, Venis claimed (via X) that some on the political spectrum, specifically “leftists,” “vilify” him by calling him transphobic, a bigot, and hateful. WWE Women’s United States Champion Chelsea Green has since clapped back at Venis’ anti-LGBTQ+ remarks, asserting that she will continue to be an advocate for the LGBTQ+ community.

The cognitive dissonance is outstanding. Delulu Venis,” alongside a screenshot of Venis’ X post.
“I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt because not everyone is educated, however he has proven time and time again that he’s just hateful will NEVER change,” added Gisele Shaw, a former TNA Knockout. “He’s clinging on to the last bit of his relevance and he needs our platform to do that so let’s not give him the satisfaction. I wish you well Sean.”
