A Long Island-based advocacy group called Jenner’s comments a ‘baffling contradiction’ to her own identity as a transgender woman that is ‘... harmful’ to the LGBTQ community
Olympic gold medalist Caitlyn Jenner on Monday said she supported a local New York official’s order banning female sports teams with transgender athletes from using county-owned facilities.
The LGBT Network, a Long Island-based advocacy group, called Jenner’s comments a “baffling contradiction” to her own identity as a transgender woman that is “not only hypocritical but also harmful” to the LGBTQ community. Any teams designated as “female” would be denied permits if they allow transgender athletes to participate.
Blakeman has argued the ban is intended to both foster fair play and protect girls and women from getting injured if they play against transgender women. His executive order, however, also covers sports like swimming, gymnastics, figure skating and track, where there is no physical contact between competitors.
