If elected in November, former president Donald Trump pledged on Wednesday to preserve trans-identical people out of children’s activities.
The occasion was held during a Fox News town house controlled by” The Faulkner Focus” host Harris Faulkner. A panelist named Linda posed the question of how Trump may respond to the issue of men identifying as girls in women’s sports teams. The Georgia citizen said she has nine children, six of whom are female and play athletics.
” We’re not gonna let it happen”, Trump said. ” We completely quit it. You ca n’t have it. It’s a man playing in the game]against people ]”.
The previous president made note of the biological and physical benefits of men over women. He also cited a current event where men competed against women.
Trump appears to be making reference to a picture of a trans-identifying female San Jose State University volleyball player spiking the puck into the face of his female opponent in a video that was posted on social media. The picture showed San Diego State University rookie Keira Herron being “knocked down after the strike, and the crowd loudly gasped,” according to the New York Post.
Adult tennis players who are scheduled to play San Jose State have canceled their fits in protest that Fleming can compete against women. The University of Nevada tennis team announced on Monday that it will forfeit its upcoming game against San Jose State by joining the Southern Utah University, Boise State University, the University of Wyoming, and Utah State University volleyball team.
” We demand that the court upholds our proper to fair competition and health. We “refuse to play any game that encourages unfairness against sexual athletes,” the group’s statement reads.
The University of Nevada also released a statement the following morning, stating that the school would “move forward with the game as scheduled” but that” the players could choose not to play the game on the day of the battle.”
When pressed by Faulkner on how he intends to fulfill his pledge to keep female-identifying men out of women’s sports, Trump said he would” just ban it”, but did n’t specify how.
The Biden-Harris leadership has almost declared war on women who seek out fairness and secure locker rooms since taking office.
In May 2023, for instance, the Education Department proposed , fresh Title IX rules , that , seek , to prevent schools receiving federal money from enforcing laws preventing people from competing in children’s activities. As The Federalist’s Jordan Boyd , reported, the plan is designed to knee legislation passed by more than 20 says that protects sexual spaces “on and off the industry”, meaning women’s sports and bag rooms may be applicable to female-identifying men.
Numerous federal courts have enjoined the guidelines that would prevent their protection.
