The U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC) announced Tuesday that men who identify as women are no longer eligible to compete in female categories for Team USA.​
Trans-identified male athletes will no longer be allowed to compete in women’s categories for Team USA at the Olympic and Paralympic Games, under a new directive from the USOPC that enforces President Donald Trump’s executive order to preserve women’s sports, ABC News reported. The decision follows Trump’s order in February titled “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports,” which requires immediate compliance by federally funded institutions, including athletic associations.​

Are you a woman? Only women can speak authoritatively about what they consider rights to be. Many of the women I know would consider this Trump executive order to be overreach by a patriarchy.

It would be helpful if you can actually define what a woman is before pulling the "you have no say because you are not a woman" card.

Well, I am a woman and I certainly consider this to be a win if you were BORN male be on MALE teams or do not take part. The ONLY time there should be mixed teams for most sports is if the goal is PURELY to have fun ( that is to say there is nothing to win.

In 2024, only one athlete who identified as transgender competed in Paris. But changing this rule is indeed a major victory for some!

Something seriously wrong with our society when we celebrate policies with no real impact on every day human while serious issues continue to grow worldwide.

  • 30% of women globally experience sexual assault.
  • 197 out of every 1,000 women die from maternal mortality.
  • There are 4.4 million more women than men worldwide living on less than $1.90 per day.
  • 2 billion women around the world lack access to health care.


But yea, it is a major victory for women that finely USOPC do not allow transgender women to compete in woman sports.

It addresses the issue before it becomes an issue which is often the best time to address stuff. Also, it is a fairly easy issue to address many international issues like above really can ONLY be addressed on a local or national level.

In 2024, out of approximately 554,000 NCAA athletes, only 10 were transgender. Do you think this will become a significant issue in the future?

I am glad the GOP and Olympic committee has resolved this earth shattering issue that no one cared about.

Now, can we now start to work on that bill where no American pays more for prescriptions than any other person in any other country that Trump said he would sign. You know, something that has real value to real people in this country?

maybe maybe not but if we address it now it will be MUCH easier than it was needed to be addressed later.

They also consider those other things to be victories.

High school dropout rate in the US: 6%.

Undergraduate dropout rate: 40%.

Uninsured college students: 8.7%.

Sexual assault rate among women at US universities: 26%.

Yet, you're suggesting we focus on an issue affecting only 0.0018% of college students?

Quite a few women athletes who have been training their whole lives have said how ridiculously unfair it has been for them to lose to biological males competing as women in woman's sports. One of the primary examples being a mediocre men's swimmer, winning 1st place awards in women's swimming. It's just simply way too unfair to women athletes, according to women athletes.

Translate "quite a few" into a specific number.


In 2024, only 10 out of 554,000 college athletes were transgender. At the Paris Olympics, just one out of 10,500 competitors was transgender.

While all these unspeakable thing happening to woman , here are real statistic of woman


30% of women globally experience sexual assault.

197 out of every 1,000 women die from maternal mortality.

18 out of every 1,000 women die from maternal mortality.

There are 4.4 million more women than men worldwide living on less than $1.90 per day.

2 billion women around the world lack access to health care.

So all that means it's okay for women athletes to get beat out by a biological male?

All that means is that while 26% female students in collage are getting sexually assaulted, todays republican party worry more about 10 biological male winning swimming competition. Wrong priority !

Here's a woman athlete's response.
