It's hard to respond to this because two things are true at the same time:
1. I believe one (1) trans woman has competed in the Olympics as a woman. Absurd to spend this much time fussing about one person.
2. Even if there were thousands of trans women competing, this would still be shameful!

Leavitt: "The president expects the Olympic Committee and the NCAA to no longer allow men to compete in women's sports. With the signing of his pen, he starts a very public pressure campaign on these organizations to do the right thing."

But that's also missing the point a bit, which is that it's bigoted and hateful, and the job of the NCAA/IOC should not be the gender/genital police.
