President-elect Donald Trump announced on Sunday that he plans to take action to “preserve the integrity of women’s sports” by preventing men from participating in women’s sports once he assumes office.
During a campaign-style rally in Washington, Trump expressed his thoughts on the matter.
Transgender rights have become a contentious political issue in recent years. During the November election, Republicans campaigned intensely on this topic, primarily highlighting concerns regarding transgender women’s participation in school sports. Trump, in his campaign, made a commitment to limit gender-affirming care and transgender individuals’ involvement in sports.
