Former U.S. President and Republican candidate Donald Trump has reignited the debate over gender issues in the Olympics. Criticizing two boxers who recently won gold medals at the Paris Olympics, Trump stated, 'Men should stay out of women's sports.'
During a rally in Pennsylvania, Trump promised to keep men out of women’s sports. This is not the first time he has brought up this gender issue in the Olympics; he consistently mentions it in his rallies. He has the support of Elon Musk and several other notable figures.
However, his language on this issue has drawn criticism from LGBTQ+ groups.
