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.

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.

Israel and Hamas agree to release hostages in U.S.-brokered deal, marking a potential turning point in Gaza conflict.

In a major diplomatic breakthrough, Israel and Hamas have agreed to release all remaining Israeli hostages under a U.S.-brokered framework. The deal pairs prisoner exchanges with an Israeli troop pullback and expanded aid access, marking a potential turning point in the two-year Gaza conflict.

The agreement, set for approval by Israel’s cabinet, could pave the way for lasting peace if both sides uphold the terms. It follows weeks of negotiations led by U.S. envoys and regional mediators in Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye.

As international agencies prepare to facilitate aid and logistics, the world watches to see whether this fragile deal can hold and bring relief to millions affected by the war.
