Retired gymnast Jennifer Sey told Newsmax that President Donald Trump calling out California for allowing a boy to compete in girls' track and field is welcomed.
Sey told Newsmax's "National Report" on Thursday that Trump might help turn around an assault on girls' high school sports. "So I completely agree with the Trump administration and this investigation and upholding Title IX and upholding the executive order that he (Trump) signed back in February."
She said there is no question California is circumventing Title IX. "To my mind, this is a violation of Title IX. Title IX was established in 1972 to protect women's sex-based rights." She also said California is purposely hurting girls in sports: "When you call men women and you allow them to compete in the women's category, it is no longer a women's category."
Sey said it is inherently wrong to allow boys to compete in girls' divisions in sports. "When boys compete in girls' track and field, they win. It's not fair to girls. It's taking away their opportunity to compete and, yes, their opportunity to win. So I'm heartened to see that there is an investigation."
The former artistic gymnast was one of the first athletes to challenge the NCAA for allowing collegiate males to compete against females in violation of the Trump administration order to keep them separate. Sey posted on her account at X, "Women's Teams are for female athletes ONLY. XX only. No substitutes. Fix your policy."
On Tuesday, Sey posted comments challenging California high school sports administrators for attempting a rules change that she said only further protected boys to compete against girls. "Tell boys who think they are girls to compete in the boys category."
