Trump Voices Support for Roanoke Swim Team

At a rally in Salem, Virginia, former President Donald Trump celebrated the Roanoke College women's swim team for opposing the inclusion of a transgender athlete on their team, labeling it 'gender insanity.' The incident, which sparked public outcry, involved a trans-identifying male who requested to join the women's team after previously competing as a male. In response, team members have been vocal against such policies, with some even pursuing legal action against the NCAA for emotional distress. Team captain Lily Mullins emphasized the unfair advantage that biological males have in women's sports and criticized the Biden administration for supporting these policies. Trump promised to ban biological males from competing in women's sports if re-elected, and the team showcased their support by wearing T-shirts with the slogan 'No (hot dogs) in Women's Sports.' The rally highlighted the ongoing debate about gender identity in athletics and its implications for women's rights.
