Former United States President Donald Trump has slammed transgender athletes competing in female sports, saying it’s ridiculous

Donald Trump disagrees that athletes who are born biologically male should be allowed to compete in women’s sports, calling for it to be barred completely.

The former President spoke exclusively with TV host Piers Morgan where he slammed transgender athletes in female-only sports.

Morgan also asks Trump what is a woman? The former leader fails to answer properly.

Trump backs U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s previous calls for transgender athletes to be banned in female-only sports, claiming they have an advantage.

Transgender athletes controversy

This comes amid a widespread debate about whether trans athletes should compete in female sports.

This includes most recently the participation of American swimmer Lia Thomas and U.K. cyclist Emily Bridges.

Thomas won the 500-yard freestyle race becoming the first transgender athlete to win a Division I national championship.

This sparked a flurry of debates about transgender athletes in female sports and it’s fairness.

A woman is somebody that swims at a certain time and doesn’t get beaten by 38 seconds by somebody that wasn’t even good as a man.”

Bridges was disqualified from competing in a British cycling race due to regulations despite completing the required twelve-month hormone therapy.
