Trump on Males in Female Sports: ‘We Stop It. You Can’t Have It’
“You can’t have it. It’s a man playing in the game.”
At a town hall with former President Donald Trump, Harris Faulkner asked the all female audience how many “are worried about biological men and boys competing against women and girls.” The whole room raised their hands.
A grandmother of nine, six female, asked Trump how he planned to address the issue.
TRUMP: Right. It’s such an easy question, and everybody in the room and you know that answer, we’re not going to let it happen. You look, just yesterday they had a volleyball match. You see that? Where a person that transitioned…okay, we have to be very careful because this can terminate your political career if you say it’s slightly off, all right, but transitioned from man to female and was on a volleyball and I saw the slam. It was a slam. I never saw a ball hit so hard. Hit the girl on the head, but other people even in volleyball, they’ve been permanently, I mean, they’ve been really hurt badly. Women playing men. But you don’t have to do the volleyball. We stop it. We stop it. We. Absolutely. Stop. It. You can’t have it. It’s a man playing in the game. I mean physically from a muscular state, even if it was a little bit less, maybe they do, all sorts of tests and drugs and everything else. Look at what’s happened in swimming. Look at the records that are being broken.
FAULKNER: How do you stop it? Do you go to the sports leagues? Do you go to the Olympics?
TRUMP: You just. Ban it. The president bans it, you just don’t let it happen. Not a big deal.
Harris Faulkner asks a room full of women how many of them are concerned about their daughters having to compete against a man in their sports.
EVERY woman raises their hand.
Trump says he will executively ban men from competing in women's sports. GOOD🔥 pic.twitter.com/M5guDtlUJU

Honestly, I don’t know how to fix it. The NCAA, teams, leagues, etc., have to do something. I guess an executive order?
I cannot believe this is even a discussion.

Anyone who agrees with men in women’ sports is out of touch with reality. This isn’t a difficult issue, it’s simply people wanting something unreasonable and patently unfair.
Any women who participates in competitive sports that involves another competitor with a penis is hurting all women because common sense alone should tell you that there was good reasoning to have only women competing with women for fair results.
It’s amazing that we are still talking about this issue because it is such a simple issue, but Trump is a rational candidate and understands this farce must be dealt with and put to rest.
Billy Jean King competed with Bobby Riggs in a televised tennis game and won, but the only reason she won was because Bobby was overconfident, didn’t practice at all and was out of condition in a big way, plus she was a mere 29 to his 55.
In a world where people use their intelligence to keep athletics fair, this is absolutely a *no brainer* and anyone born male that has taken prize money from a competing female should have all prize money taken away because they didn’t earn a penny of it!
He’s right, it needs to be banned, the women must stop competing with the men
They are not women
They are not women
They are not women
This is where Trump his handicapped by his inability to understand the basics functions of the federal government which compounds his already less than granular understanding of complicated issues. The correct answer is: We work with a GOP Congress to strengthen Title IX protections for women’s sports which undercuts progressive states from allowing this by state law and makes it more difficult for progressive judges to allow it by judicial fiat.
A Trump Executive Order to ‘ban’ this wouldn’t survive until the weekend before it was struck down by some leftwing federal district court judge.
Why wouldn’t an EO survive? Biden/Harris implemented Egos a lot more egregious than that, on, for example, immigration. He can’t, of course, actually ban it, because EOs only bind Executive Branch employees. But what he can do is order the Executive Branch to oppose, and not support biological men in women’s sports, in their restrooms, prisons, etc. And then fire, for cause, any Executive Branch employee supporting them, for violation of his EO.
You ask why an EO wouldn’t survive and in the very next sentence cede that ‘it can’t actually ban it?’ You’ve answered your own question.
The woman asked Trump how he was going to keep men from playing in female sports. The only way that can happen is if Title IX is amended in a way that statutorily prohibits biological males from participating in female sports. While this wouldn’t solve the problem entirely, it would solve the problem in any school that receives ANY federal funds, which is all but one or two colleges in the country.
Let me add that District Court judges do a lot of stuff that they shouldn’t. Just look at the judge in the DC Trump case. That’s what appeals courts are for.
Anyone who believes the transgender/women’s sports problem can be solved by an Executive Order has a child-like understanding of how government works. Ultimately, this debate will be settled by the USSC. There needs to be robust statutory guidelines on this issue that can be used to steer the court towards the correct answer. A Trump EO doesn’t do anything towards that end. Congress has to act, soon.
Here’s the real conundrum: what’s to stop a team from having an all trans roster? And, then, what’s to stop a league from having all teams having all trans rosters? This would be women’s sports without women. Women’s sports would become an oxymoron.
That is the logical end. Men who just missed the men’s team become “trans” and end up with a scholarship for the women’s team. I would find it humiliating, but for a couple hundred thousand in tuition, books, room and board, etc. it would be worth it to lots of men.
It would also be interesting to see how that affects Division II and III athletics.
See Matt Walsh’s “What is a Woman.” That’s the plot. (Good movie, too.)
Im waiting for the all womens fire department squads to work the fires in the lefty run cities and have them carrying out victims to safety
if low iq unqualified people can be given jobs as
doctors/lawyers/airline pilots/atc
why cant men be women!??
SEE, thats what happens when you allow even a “little” wrong to become normalized
Just in passing, it is my understanding that the state of Massachusetts has a standardized test that you have to pass in order to graduate high school. It is not a hard test, but it checks literacy, arithmetic, etc. Assuming an election next month; apparently there is an initiative on the ballot removing that test and replacing it with nothing. Diplomas will be granted apparently based on attendance.
I also note that there is a US Supreme Court decision that forbids prospective employers from testing applicants before hiring them; something about protected classes scoring disproportionately low.
If this should pass, I submit that no US employer should hire any Massachusetts high school graduate EVER if their diploma is 2025 or later, unless they are also in legitimate possession of an indication that they do meet minimum standards for literacy and arithmetic.

This may not be an ideal method, but eventually it will be a sure method. Some day a biological female on a team is going to be severely injured by a male to female transexual claimant. There needs to be a PAC waiting somewhere with the funds and lawyers ready to sue the transexual athlete for sufficient damages that they forget what a dollar sign looks like. And simultaneously sue the school that he/she/it played for and the school district and any official whose signature is on the paperwork allowing them to play. I grant that in a lot of Leftist jurisdictions there is no real hope of ultimately winning. Such is a consequence of the loss of the rule of law. But the Left frequently uses the dictum that “the process is the punishment” as a basis for action. They are not the only ones who can do that.

201 is not very recent history. That was when a ‘transgendered woman’ fought a real woman and cracked her skull open. If the world didn’t accept that evidence, it is because no evidence will suffice.
Seems like a Title IX violation. That’s how you end it. Simply appoint people that will enforce Title IX. You can end federal funds to schools with this.
Any school that allows boys/men to compete on girls/womens teams effectively does not have women’s sports at all. They have a men’s league, and a second men’s league for guys that can’t cut the real men’s league. Women don’t have a “league of their own”.
2014 is not very recent history. That was when a ‘transgendered woman’ fought a real woman and cracked her skull open. If the world didn’t accept that evidence, it is because no evidence will suffice.
