A Democratic presidential hopeful says he’s against biological males competing against women in sports, and no, it’s not President Biden.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a candidate for the party’s 2024 presidential nomination, said he opposes allowing “biologically male” athletes in women’s athletics, his latest“I am against people participating in women’s sports who are biologically male,” Mr. Kennedy said Saturday on CNN. “I think women have worked too hard to develop women’s sports over the past 30 years. I watched it happen, and I don’t think that’s fair.
His stance puts him at odds with the Biden administration, which has called for extending federal anti-discrimination rules to include “gender identity.” The Education Department proposed last month a rule change that would eliminate blanket bans on female-identifying male athletes in scholastic sports, requiring schools to justify such bans on a sport-by-sport basis by citing factors such as safety and fairness.
