Megan Rapinoe Condemns Trump's Executive Order on Transgender Athletes
The former soccer star calls the policy 'cruel' and 'depraved,' arguing it unfairly targets transgender individuals and undermines inclusion.
- Donald Trump signed an executive order banning transgender athletes from participating in women's sports in schools receiving federal funding, modifying Title IX rules.
- Megan Rapinoe has publicly criticized the order, describing it as 'cruel' and 'depraved' in an interview with MUNDIAL magazine.
- Rapinoe argues that the policy does not protect women's sports but instead targets transgender individuals, contributing to a 'grim, dark, just violent reality.'
- Critics of Rapinoe claim her stance contradicts her advocacy for fairness in women's sports and accuse her of political bias.
- The executive order marks a significant reversal of Biden-era policies and has reignited debates over fairness, inclusion, and the rights of marginalized groups.
