US track star hits out at Trump’s trans ban: ‘My biology is fundamentally different than a cis man’

Trans US track star Sadie Schreiner has opened up about the devastating way US president Donald Trump’s move against trans athletes has negatively impacted her.

The 21-year-old, who is a two-time NCAA All American in 200-and 200-meter races, shared that she feels “defeated” amid Trump’s attacks on the trans community, especially in sports, reports CNN.

Trump signed an executive order, titled “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports”, which prevents trans women from competing in female categories of sports – a move Republicans claim restores “fairness.”

The order largely covers high school, university and grassroots sports and has been put into effect immediately, despite a report finding that trans women have no advantage over other women when competing in elite sport, if existing rules are followed.
