This week, President Donald Trump fulfilled a campaign promise by announcing his gender clarity policy, stating that the federal government will only recognize two sexes—male and female. This move has renewed the debate over transgender participation in sports, especially in states like Washington, where student-athletes have been allowed to compete based on gender identity for nearly two decades. Supporters argue that the policy protects female athletes and maintains fairness in competition, while opponents view it as discriminatory and harmful to transgender individuals.
