While the national debate on trans inclusion in the sports of girls and women has reached a boiling point in recent weeks, representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Dn.y., was useless on the issue. Now, conservative influencer Riley Gaines has extended an invitation to women in the congress to join the other side of the question.
“I absolutely believe that Oce, of course, it has a platform, it is in a position of influence and power, and I think that it could influence democratic members to cross the line and to resume mental health. I believe that there is a compulsory responsibility of each member of the Congress,” said Digital Gains in an exclusive interview.
Gaines believes that if Ocasio-Cortez should suddenly take a stand against trans inclusion in the sports of girls and women, it would be “performative” but that it would always benefit the political reputation of the deputy.
“Although I do not agree with many other things apart from this question that Oc represents, I would certainly apply it or any democratic [for speaking out against trans inclusion]Said Gaines.
“I do not believe that the AOC is out of disappearance to present itself to the presidency in 2028, and if this is the case, [trans inclusion in women’s sports] is certainly something that she would like to be behind. “”

Ocasio-Cortez spoke directly on the issue when the House of Representatives voted on the protection of women and girls in sport on January 14. That day, she delivered a controversial and controversial speech on the room floor, where she said that the bill would allow children of sexual predators and that “trans girls are girls”.
The speech sparked an immense reaction and a mockery, in particular by the Democrats, one of which told PK Press Club Digital that they and others did not register the party in response.
Since then, President Donald Trump has passed an executive decree prohibiting the inclusion trans in female and girls sports on a national level, and the NCAA has changed its eligibility for sex to comply with order. Meanwhile, several democratic states have openly challenged Trump, causing federal investigations against these states and potentially reduced funding in response.
On Monday, the protection of women and girls in Sports Act will obtain a vote on the Senate soil.
Ocasio-Cortez did not weigh on the issue, although he is a notable defender of trans inclusion in the past. She did not refer to a recent exchange between Trump and the Governor of Maine, Janet Mills, on the question with a Bluesky post who says: “That’s how it’s done”. However, she did not address Trump’s order or the question of trans inclusion in detail.

During a virtual town hall organized by Ocasio-Cortez on February 21, she did not address the question despite the fact that PK Press Club Digital submitted a question on this subject. The Ocasio-Cortez office did not respond to several requests for comments on the issue of PK Press Club Digital by e-mail.
Ocasio-Cortez mentioned the global subject of democratic support for the Trans community during an interview on The podcast “The Weekly Show With Jon Stewart” January 23.
“When we allow ourselves to be constantly distracted by these cultural wars around trans people, it is a new thing every day, and the answer is not that we let these people be attacked is that we say:” What are you doing, guy? “I think we have to defense these people if a reflection after the fact that it is not even a debate,” said Ocasio-Cortez.
“As, we must understand and see the bait for what it is, but we do not take the bait by letting these rights erode and go by the way.”
But Gaines is not surprised by the Ocason Cortez and the other Democrats, suddenly of the question of trans inclusion in the sports of girls.
“We should not be surprised that this is the position that Oc takes,” said Gaines. “The number one, canceling Culture loses its grip, and the number two, it means that they are trying to distance themselves from their voting files or anything, because they know that it is a problem of loss. And that shows that they simply have no conviction. Since creation, this question has been a farce.”

Ocasio-Cortez previously voted in favor of several bills which would allow Trans athletes to play in female and girls sports on a national level, including the law on equality and the declaration of transgender rights. The women of the Congress previously suggested that the Green Party was “predator” in a post-response X for the VP candidate of the Green Party 2024, Butch Ware, speaking against transcusion trans into female sports.
Before that, Ocasio-Cortez even criticized former President Joe Biden, who has made several efforts to allow trans inclusion, not to have done enough to activate it.
In April 2023, when Biden proposed a change of title IX which prohibited the prohibitions of trans athletes in the sports of girls, but would allow prohibitions on students “on the basis of a set of criteria linked to the single sex to their community”, “Ocasio-Cortez qualified it as” disgrace “.
“Absolutely no reason for Biden’s administrator to do so. It’s indefensible and embarrassing,” she wrote on X this month. “The administrator can always go back, and he should. It’s a shame.”
However, the question of trans inclusion in female and girls sports has become a largely opposed problem in last year, and the data suggests that this even affected the outcome of the 2024 elections.
A recent New York Times / Ipsos survey have found that the vast majority of Americans, including the majority of Democrats, do not think that transgender athletes should be authorized to participate in female sports.
“Thinking about Transgender female athletes – which means athletes who were male at birth but who currently identify themselves as a woman – do you think they should or should not be allowed to compete in female sports? “Asked the investigation.
Of the 2,128 people who participated, 79% said that biological men who identify themselves 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 allowed to compete with women.
A National exit survey Directed by the Legislative Action Committee for women concerned for women for America revealed that 70% of moderate voters saw the question of “Donald Trump’s opposition to boys and transgender men playing sports for girls and women and transgender boys and men using bathrooms and women” as important for them.
In addition, 6% said it was everyone’s most important problem, while 44% said it was “very important”.
