It was in the middle of the White House, in front of cameras, without filters.
Donald Trump brought up one of the hottest topics on today’s agenda: the participation of trans women in women’s sports. And he did so with a statement that left no room for nuance: “No matter how many surgeries you have or how many chemicals you inject, if you were born with male DNA in every cell of your body, you will never be able to become a woman”.
The statement comes amid a debate that is affecting sports federations, governments, and entire families in different countries. For some, it is a necessary defense of fairness in competition. For others, a dangerous oversimplification of a reality far more complex than the biology of a chromosome. The truth is that the statement has already begun to circulate, and with it, the debate Trump knows never dies down on its own.
