Donald Trump, winner of the U.S. elections, has stood out in his sporting facet by supporting his national sports, being seen in different motor events or the NFL itself. In 2028, he will also have the opportunity to offer his most sporting facet to the whole world with the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Los Angeles. By that time, it is expected that one of the controversies raised in Paris 2024 about the participation of transgender or transsexual athletes in the women’s category will have been solved. What does Donald Trump think about it? The businessman and politician points to science for his answer.

“The gender madness being forced on our children is an act of child abuse. Quite simply. My plan is to stop the chemical, physical and emotional mutilation of our youth,” Trump asserted this year on the subject.

TRUMP AND THE BIOLOGICAL FACTOR FOR GENDER IDENTITY

The tycoon has stood out for having a position that defends a binary view of the issue. The president wants to protect equity in sports competitions and promote biologically oriented education, aspects that, he assures, would benefit women by preserving fair competition spaces. All of this is aimed at biological factors rather than self-perceived gender identity.

Although his approach has been criticized by gender diversity activists, Trump stands by his idea because it generates a clear and easy-to-understand framework, reducing possible confusion. In addition, the New Yorker assures that these policies help protect women’s privacy and safety, whether in sports-related issues or otherwise.
