Linda McMahon clearly indicated his position on transplants trans into female and girls sports during her confirmation audience for the Education Secretary on Thursday.

A National exit survey Directed by the Legislative Action Committee for Women concerned for women concerned (CWA) revealed that 70% of moderate voters saw the question of “Donald Trump’s opposition to boys and transgender men playing girls and girls and girls Women and transgender boys and men using female girls and bathrooms, “also important for them. And 6% said it was the most important question of all, while 44% said it was “very important”.
Trump promised during his campaign in 2024 to ban transmian and girls athletes. Trump made his promise early when he signed the Executive No Men sports decree in women on February 5.
Previously, the Supreme Court ruled in August to refuse an emergency request from the Biden administration to apply parts of the rewritings of title IX of the former president who would allow biological men of the locker rooms for women and girls.

And as McMahon seeks to be confirmed as an education secretary, she insists on carrying out the original mission of title IX and keeping female sports for organic women.
“We are really back to what title IX was initially established to do and it was to protect social discrimination. Women should feel safe in their locker rooms. They should feel safe in their spaces. Before. They, “said McMahon on Thursday.
“I heard one person the other day say:” Well, the guys should simply hold the shower curtain in front of them so that they do not settle. “I really mean, that’s not what we should do.
The Secretary of Education of the Biden Administration, Miguel Angel Cardona, supported the authorization of the Trans athletes to participate in female and girls sports.
Cardona has helped write the changes to title IX which would have prohibited the general prohibitions of transgender athletes in public school teams.
In an interview in June 2021 with ESPN, Cardona said that “transgender girls have the right to compete”.

“Our LGBTQ students have endured more harassment than most other groups. It is extremely important to stand with them and give them the opportunity to engage in what each other child can engage without harassment,” said declared Cardona.
“It is their right as a student to participate in these activities. And we know that sport is more than putting ribbons on the winner of first, second and third place,” he said. “We know that students offer opportunities to be part of a team, learn a lot about themselves, set goals and achieve them and challenge themselves. Athletics provides that in our K-12 systems and in our colleges, and all students deserve the opportunity to commit. “”
Now, under the Trump administration, there will be several layers of effort to prevent Trans athletes from participating in the sports of women and girls, and the McMahon agenda will be one of these layers if it is confirmed.
A recent New York Times / Ipsos survey Found that the vast majority of Americans, including the majority of Democrats, do not think that transgender athletes should be allowed to compete in female sports. Of the 2,128 people interviewed, 79% said that biological men who identify as women should not be allowed to participate in female sports.
Of the 1,025 people who have identified as a democrats or who lean a democrat, 67% said that transgender athletes should not be authorized to compete with women.
