Even so, Turner and his support group are asking for more measures by UTSOPC after the recent policy change.
The Independent Women’s Sports Council (icons), the defense group that represents Turner, issued a statement on Tuesday that requested a mandatory sex detection for all female athletes to enforce Trump’s executive order effectively.

Icons will not rest until each girl, at all levels, at each sport has access to fair competition and privacy in the locker room,” the statement said.

“I hope he understands that what he did was cheat, and it was not fair for women and girls. I also want him to know that I do not hate him personally. This was never about him and me. This was really about the problem and politics in question,” Turner said.
“And if I am angry with someone, I am angry with their facilitators and the people who have allowed this policy to continue for so long.”
