The policy update does not use the word "transgender," but says it will comply with President Donald Trump's executive order on the matter.
The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee updated its policies to say it would comply with President Donald Trump's executive order banning transgender women from competing in women's sports.
The committee made the change in an updated "Athlete Safety Policy," posted to their website Monday, which does not mention the word transgender in any of its 27 pages. But the document does include language that implies that transgender women will no longer be able to compete in women's divisions.
The USOPC will continue to collaborate with various stakeholders with oversight responsibilities, e.g., IOC, IPC, NGBs, to ensure that women have a fair and safe competition environment consistent with Executive Order 14201 and the Ted Stevens Olympic & Amateur Sports Act," the document says.
Micah Parsons cites back tightness for not participating in practice Executive Order 14201 is otherwise known as Trump's “No Men in Women’s Sports Executive Order."
It's unclear whether any Olympians would be banned from competition for the 2028 Olympics under the updated policy.
American middle-distance runner Nikki Hiltz, who is non-binary, would presumably not be affected by the ruling because they were assigned female at birth. Hiltz finished seventh at the women's 1,500-meter race in 2024 Paris.
No athlete has won an Olympic medal while competing as an openly transgender woman.
Caitlyn Jenner came out as transgender decades after winning gold in the men's decathlon at the 1976 Montreal Olympic Games. The first openly transgender woman to compete at the Olympics was Laurel Hubbard, a New Zealand weightlifter who failed to podium at the Tokyo Games.
Winning.
As soon as they install a pro-foof president, they will stop complying.
“ American middle-distance runner Nikki Hiltz, who is non-binary, would presumably not be affected by the ruling because they were assigned female at birth”.
THEY ???
The propaganda media, such as NBC, started to set us up for the transgender nonsense by using a pronoun like “they” when speaking of a singular person. At first, I thought it was to avoid the awkward “him or her” when the sex was unknown, but now I realize it was to soften us up to the idea that a woman could be a man and a man could be a woman. Outrageous!
The term “transgender women” is a misnomer.
That and it’s another way to destroy the language’s ability accurately to convey an idea.
Slouching towards civilized, enjoy it while it lasts.
Maybe there can be a special category for transgendered athletes in the Special Olympics.
✔️
> THEY ???
Well, if this person (a female) doesn't identify as "he" or "she", and we're willing to go along with them and find something else, "they" is common but makes no sense.
The proper thing is to borrow one of the new pronouns that emerged in recent years, such as "zee", "zer", and so forth. So maybe this one can be "zit".
Really wish the term “transgender women” would just go away. They’re transvestite MALES. Mediocrities ivariably winning in competition with the best female athletes should make the expression laughable.
“No athlete has won an Olympic medal while competing as an openly transgender woman”.
I believe that is incorrect. Several transgerder women have win Olympic medals.
Looks like it’s true. 0 Olympic medals won by transgender women, but 900 medals won in other competitions, according to: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.ndtv.com/world-news/female-athletes-lost-nearly-900-medals-to-transgender-competitors-un-report-6857482/amp/1
