Former Olympic gold medalist Caitlyn Jenner has thrown her support behind a local New York official’s order banning female sports teams with transgender athletes from using county-owned facilities
Former Olympic gold medalist Caitlyn Jenner on Monday said she supported a local New York official’s order banning female sports teams with transgender athletes from using county-owned facilities. The ban applies to over 100 athletic facilities in New York City's Long Island suburbs.
She said she has “sympathy” for LGBTQ people and “understands their struggles” but argued that allowing transgender people to compete with women would undermine gains female athletes achieved under Title IX, a law banning sex discrimination in programs that receive federal funds. “All I’m trying to do is protect women,” Jenner said Monday. Jenner, a supporter of former President Donald Trump, has been a vocal opponent of transgender athletes competing in women’s sports.
