Caitlyn Jenner has responded to Donald Trump’s recent executive order banning transgender athletes from competing in women’s sports. Trump’s order, signed on February 5, states that schools allowing trans athletes to compete will lose federal funding. Jenner, a transgender Olympian, supported the move, calling it a “victory for protecting women’s sports.”
Her statement has sparked backlash from some fans, questioning her stance as a trans woman. Critics argue that the policy erases trans rights and could harm all women athletes due to increased body scrutiny. Transgender athlete Chris Mosier also highlighted the harmful impact of such bans, which rely on intrusive sex testing and body policing.
