Without public notice, U.S. Olympic officials exclude transgender women from competing

Fatima Goss Graves, president and CEO of the nonprofit National Women’s Law Center, condemned the policy change in a statement.

“The world is watching with alarm at the loss of freedom and opportunity in our country, especially as the United States is expected to host future Olympic events,” Graves said. “The Committee will learn — as so many other institutions have — that there is no benefit in appeasing the endless, shifting, and petulant demands coming out of the White House.”
