Caitlyn Jenner issues surprising statement after Trump signs executive order affecting trans athletes
There are some of the former Olympian’s X followers who are feeling ‘confused’ thanks to her.
Caitlyn Jenner has given a statement regarding another controversial executive order issued by Donald Trump that has a direct impact on transgender athletes competing in women’s sports.
Earlier this week, President Trump, who is 78 years old, signed a new piece of legislation while simultaneously expressing his opposition to the idea of transgender athletes playing on women’s sports teams. He also announced his intention to withhold government funding from institutions that permit such competition.
“We will defend the proud tradition of female athletes,” he proclaimed from the White House on Wednesday, February 5th, from the position of the President. From this point on, only female athletes will be allowed to compete in women’s sports. The battle against women’s athletics has been won.
The Republican also asserted that his policy would be a part of a “sweeping effort to reclaim our culture and our laws,” and that it would instruct the Education Department to tell schools that permitting transgender athletes to compete would constitute a breach of the federal law that prohibits discrimination based on gender.
At this time, a piece of legislation known as Title IX makes it illegal for schools to receive federal funds if they engage in discrimination on the basis of children’s gender.
Now, in accordance with his new directive, President Trump has stated that any school that receives financing from taxpayers will be investigated if they allow “men to take over women’s sports teams or invade your locker rooms.” He further added, “There will be no such funding from the federal government.” It is therefore clear that this will put an end to the assault on female athletes.
In a statement that has been uploaded on X (which was formerly known as Twitter), the former Olympian, who revealed her identity as a transgender woman in 2015, expressed her unequivocal agreement with Trump’s most recent decision. This declaration has startled millions of individuals online.
“Another victory in the fight for protecting women’s sports!” As Jenner put it. “President Trump signs an Executive Order keeping biological men out of women’s sports!”
She proceeded by saying: “As an Olympian, I will continue to fight this issue, lobbying sport governing body’s all over the world to follow our lead!”
In a recent interview with USA Today, the reality star stated that she has received “more flak for being a conservative Republican than I have for being trans.” She is widely considered to be one of the most prominent LGBTQ+ athletes, having won an Olympic gold medal in the decathlon at the pinnacle of her career.
Therefore, it is not surprising that her most recent message has caused widespread confusion among the people who follow her on the internet.
“You are so confusing,” one person said in the comments section below, while another person pleaded with her to take action against this problem, saying, “The world needs you to fight this issue because what is happening is damaging”.
“Legitimate question – as a trans woman, are you cool with them just slowly erasing trans people, their rights, and everything they’ve worked towards?” a third asked the inquiry.
We are not even talking about this OE [order] in particular; we are talking about all of the other orders. Sincerely, I would be very interested in hearing your comments.
Jenner had previously taken to Instagram to share a message with her 15.4 million followers, stating, “Hope is back in America.” This statement was sent in response to Trump’s victory in the election against Kamala Harris, the Democratic contender.
“These two men will single-handedly save western civilization and that begins with a strong United States of America,” Jenner said in the caption of a photo that she posted on her Instagram account, which featured her beside Trump, his granddaughter Kai Madison, and Elon Musk.
The star of the Kardashians continued by saying, “I am here and at your service, and I will be eternally indebted to you for the sacrifice you made for this country.”
“Let’s Make America Great Again!” According to Reuters, it is possible that President Trump will have a difficult time implementing his ban. This is because his existing alternatives include scrutinizing the bodies of children, which is an approach that the majority of people would find unpleasant at best, as well as looking at birth certificates, which may be manipulated.
Since then, Chris Mosier, a transgender athlete who also talked to the publication, has provided a response, saying, “Anti-trans school sports bans are difficult to enforce because they rely on sex testing and body policing for implementation and enforcement.”
