Hugh Laurie Defends Sophie Cunningham’s Comments About Trans Athletes, Says ‘I Don’t Believe Men Should Compete Against Women’

Hugh Laurie is voicing his support for Sophie Cunningham.

Last month, the 29-year-old WNBA player doubled down on her views against trans athletes, saying, that she wants to “protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn’t have to go against biological men.”

Then on August 9, Hugh, 67, responded to a post on X shared by writer and trans activist Graham Linehan.

“Firstly, f–k off; secondly no, I don’t believe men should compete against women. I thought I’d made that pretty clear. If you’d looked. But obviously you must get onto your next…” the House actor wrote. Graham‘s original post has been deleted so the context is unknown.

Graham responded to Hugh, writing in a since-deleted tweet, “Why ‘f–k off’ then? Just say that you support Sophie Cunningham in her fight for fair sports and stop trying to be arch.”
