When Graham appeared on Sean Hannityās Fox News program afterward, she attempted to recover by pivoting from her lack of national security knowledge to transgender athletes, as The Advocate reported.
āOf course, Taiwan is our friend,ā Graham said. āBut I think people in South Carolina are more worried about making ends meet. They are concerned about boys in girlsā sports.ā
Trump continued that strategy Friday by making transgender people a central part of his argument for Graham. He attacked Andrews as a āfar-left political hack who supports transgender for everybodyā and accused her of telling āconfused children theyāre trapped in the wrong body.ā

Trump may have conflated those medical procedures with agreements his Justice Department has forced on two major hospital systems. Those settlements require Texas Childrenās Hospital and the Cleveland Clinic to establish or fund services for people who voluntarily seek to detransition. They do not order hospitals to perform surgery on anyone.
In May, Texas Childrenās agreed to pay the state $10 million, end gender-affirming care for minors and establish what federal officials called the countryās first ārestorative careā clinic for detransitioners. The Houston hospital also agreed to terminate five physicians connected to its transgender health program and permanently revoke their privileges, as The Advocate reported.



High school sports donāt require any sort of hormones. Most sports donāt have official hormone-length schedules. But no, the advantage is not ānegligibleā. Height, limb length, joint size, heart and lung size, etc. are all fixed features. There minimal overlap between these aspects between men and women. A 5"10" person is average height for a male, but in the top range for females.
And yes, certain āintersexā males should also not be competing in female sports.
And as far as I see, women who donāt identify as women are still primarily choosing to play in womenās sports.
āwomen who donāt identify as womenā tells me a lot about your bias against trans people in general.
If Veronica Ivy chose to testosterone out and play as a man the profits would be considerably higher, even at a lower rank.
Most trans women who play in womenās sports do so because itās the only way they can play without denying their essential identity.
Womenās sports are important. Women are important. Trans women are women.
