President Donald Trump signed an executive order attempting to ban transgender women from participating in women’s sports, citing false claims about two Olympic gold medalists. Trump falsely alleged that the gold medalists in women’s boxing at the 2024 Paris Olympics were men who had transitioned. In reality, both champions, Imane Khelif from Algeria and Lin Yu-ting from Taiwan, were identified as female at birth and always competed as women. The International Olympic Committee confirmed that both boxers were born and raised as women, held female passports, and had competed as women for years. Despite being disqualified in 2023 from a world championship, allegedly due to competitive advantages, no evidence has supported the claim that Khelif and Lin had transitioned. The disqualifications were linked to issues within the International Boxing Association, an organization with a troubled history and ties to the Russian government. The assertion that the athletes had transitioned remains baseless. The episode highlights the importance of accurate information and the need to address misinformation regarding transgender athletes in sports.
