Protecting Women’s Sports and Ensuring Fairness for Girls

February 13, 2025

In this week's episode of Political Contessa, Jennifer discusses President Trump's recent executive order protecting women's sports. The order states that women's sports should only be for women and that biological males should not be allowed to compete in female sports. Jennifer emphasizes that this is not about transgender rights but fairness and safety for girls in sports.

Jennifer delves into the controversial topic of transgender athletes competing in women's sports. She shares her strong opinion that biological males, even if they identify as female, should not be allowed to compete against biological females. She argues that this is a matter of fairness and safety, citing an incident where a biological male playing on a girls' field hockey team caused serious injury to a female player.

In rare applause of an Executive Order, Jennifer holds President Trump's executive order as a significant victory for women and girls, ensuring fairness in sports and protecting the rights afforded by Title IX.

“President Trump, his executive order is absolutely a major victory for women and for girls, making sure that there's fairness in sports, making sure that men play with men and women play with women.”

- Jennifer Nassour
