The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee has directed national sports bodies to comply with Trump’s executive order banning transgender women from women’s sports, citing federal obligations.

The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee has effectively barred transgender women from competing in women’s sports, telling the federations overseeing swimming, athletics and other sports it has an “obligation to comply” with an executive order issued by President Donald Trump.

This surely won't become an issue for foreign athletes at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. Surely not for cis women like Imane Khelif as well. That would be preposterous.

/uj There needs to be a grassroots movement to boycott the 2028 games starting NOW!

it's absolutely gonna turn into the Phrenology Olympics 2.0, except this time they'll hire breast and vagina fondlers to work as "gender detectors"

There needs to be a grassroots movement to boycott the 2028 games starting NOW!

there already is, the anti-ICE protests in LA mentioned boycotting them because the Olympics are gonna be used as an excuse to deport a fuckton of homeless people, immigrants and non-white people out of the city, with the mayor's approval

While that's good, that isn't where I'm coming at it from. I mean movements in other countries to pull their teams from the games.
