National Organization for Women Labels Opposition to Trans Athletes in Women's Sports as 'White Supremacist Patriarchy'

The feminist group faces backlash for its controversial stance, with critics accusing it of abandoning its mission to protect women.

The National Organization for Women (NOW) has sparked controversy by labeling those opposing trans athletes in women's sports as proponents of 'white supremacist patriarchy'.
NOW's statement came in response to a lawsuit filed against the NCAA by former and current college athletes, accusing it of violating Title IX rights.
Critics, including athletes and public figures, have condemned NOW's stance, accusing the organization of betraying its mission and gaslighting women.
A Community Note clarified that transwomen are not barred from sports, but from competing in categories that do not align with their gender at birth.
NOW previously supported the Equality Act, which aimed to protect transgender student athletes in women's sports.
