Transgender athletes effectively barred from representing the United States at the Olympics and Paralympics (sic)- ABC News

In short:

The organisation said it was obliged to follow an executive order issued by President Donald Trump in February.

What’s next?

The US is hosting the next summer Olympics in 2028 in Los Angeles.

One thought on “Transgender athletes effectively barred from representing the United States at the Olympics and Paralympics (sic)- ABC News”

  1. ABC News getting it wrong, yet again.

    In reality, anyone who declares himself or herself to be ‘transgender’ will ONLY be allowed to compete in the category of their Biological Sex.
    No males will be allowed to demand entry to female sports any more, thereby ‘cheating’ female athletes of their rightful opportunities
