US Olympics officials quietly bar trans women from competing in women’s sports | US news
The US Olympic and Paralympic Committee actually prevented transsexual women from competing in women’s sports and said that the federations that control swimming, athletics and other sports were a “obligation to comply” with Donald Trump.
The new policy, which was announced on Monday by making a quiet change on the USOPC website and approved in a letter sent to national sports management organizations, followed a similar step taken by NCAA earlier this year.
The USOPC change is noted as a detail within the scope of the “USOPC Athlete Security Policy ve and refers to the executive order of the US president by keeping the US President away from the women’s sports signed in February. In addition to other things, this order is threatened to “cancel all funds den from organizations that allow trans athletes to participate in women’s sports.
US Olympic officials said that they would have to follow the case to the national government bodies: “USOPC participated in a series of respectful and constructive conversations with federal authorities”.
“As an organization rented as a federal, we have an obligation to comply with Federal expectations, Sarah said USOPC CEO Sarah Hirshland and President Gene Sykes. “Our review emphasizes the importance of providing fair and safe competitive environments for women.
National Women’s Law Center made a statement condemning the movement.
Fatima Goss Graves, the president and CEO of the organization, said, “By giving political demands, USOPC sacrifices the needs and security of its athletes,” he said.
USOPC controls about 50 national administration organs that play a role in everything from most base sports to distinguished levels. This increases the likelihood that the rules may need to be changed in local sports clubs to protect their membership in NGBS.
Some of these organizations – for example, the US Athletics – for a long time have followed the instructions determined by their World Federation. The world athletics is considering changes in Trump’s policies that may be in accordance with the order of Trump.
A US swimming spokesman said the federation was aware of the change of USOPC and consulted the committee to understand which changes to make. The US fencing has allowed all athletes, including transgender women, transgender men, non -binary and non -intersection athletes, non -two athletes, non -two athletes and cisgender male athletes, which opened the policy of “female sex” and men’s activities in the competition of women, which came into force on August 1st.
While the Republicans depicted the problem as a struggle for athletic justice, the war on transfers in Girls’ and women’s sports teams played both state and federal levels. More than two dozens of states, transsexual women and girls to participate in certain sports competitions prevented laws. Some policies have been blocked by those who target a discriminatory, brutal and unnecessary small athlete niche of policies.
NCAA changed the policy of participation of trans athletes to limit the competition in women’s sports to limit the athletes who were appointed women at birth. This change arrived a day after Trump signed the executive order aimed at banning transsexual athletes from girls and women’s sports.
Women’s conformity is a key issue for the International Olympic Committee under the new President Kirsty Coventry, who pointed out the effort to “protect the women’s category”. The IOC allowed individual sports federations to set their own rules at the Olympics – and some took steps on the issue.
More strict rules on transsexual athletes – stemming from the activities of everyone passing by male puberty – swimming, bicycle and athletics. Soccer reviews the rules of conformity for women and can set limits on testosterone.
Trump said IOC wants to change everything, IOC, “This absolutely had to be about the ridiculous issue.” Los Angeles will host summer games in 2028.
