The failed Democratic presidential candidate and former Vice President Kamala Harris admitted to having reservations on transgender athletes competing in women’s sports in their new book.
In the book “107 days”, Harris wrote that “he agrees” with the concerns of parents and athletes who oppose to let men compete with women.
“I agree with the concerns expressed by parents and players that we have to take into account biological factors such as muscle mass and the unfair athletic advantage of students when we determine who plays in which teams, especially in contact sports,” Harris wrote, according to Politicus. “With good will and common sense, I think we can find ways to do this, without vilifying and demonizing children.”

Harris never addressed the issue directly during his campaign, since the problem was one of the most influential factors in the elections.
Harris wrote that he would not turn against transgender people, and argued that President Donald Trump “was painting an ox on the back and putting them in danger.”
“This is a community with which I have a deep connection,” he wrote. “There was no way that I was going against my own nature and light transgender people.”
The announcement of the Trump campaign with the slogan “Kamala is for them/them, Donald Trump is for you”, was acclaimed as the most effective message of the 2024 elections. He highlighted the position of the Democrats to allow biological males in women’s sport.
Harris admitted in his book that his campaign should have “paid even more attention to how we could mitigate Trump’s attacks”, regarding that message.

Harris’s most notable instance addressing his record on transgender issues occurred during his interview with Bret Baier in Pak Gazette in October. When Baier pressed Harris about his past support of gender transition surgeries funded by tax for prisoners, Harris avoided taking a position and described him as a “remote problem.”
Even so, the issue of trans athletes in women’s sports may have persecuted Harris on election day, according to data.
A national output survey conducted by the Legislative Women’s Action Committee for America (CWA) in question found that 70% of moderate voters saw the issue of “Donald Trump’s opposition to transgender children and men who interpret sports of girls and women and transgender boys and men who used baths of girls and women”, as is important for them. And 6% said it was the most important issue of all, while 44% said it was “very important.”
From the elections, many key democrats have distanced themselves from trans athletes in women’s sports.
Meanwhile, a New York Times report suggests that former President Joe Biden did not agree with trans athletes who participated in women and girls sports.
“According to a series of former Biden administration officials, there was a slow debate within the administration about whether these protections of title IX should extend to sports,” said the Times, saying that “one side … maintained that there was no legal difference between letting the trans students use bathrooms that align with their gender identity and let the students of trans athletes play in the sports teams that align with their identity. gender.” “.”
However, Biden was “on the other side … who believed that the competitive nature of sports made them different from the bathrooms, that some transgender athletes would enjoy unfair physical advantages over women.
“The most important thing, one of the officials who had this point of view was Biden,” the Times wrote.
The Times received an appointment from a former administration official Biden who said Biden was “particularly focused on the issue of competition.”
