Prominent Democrat and former U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg weighed in on the debate about transgender athletes competing in women’s sports.
During an interview with NPR, Buttigieg acknowledged “fairness issues” in the debate.
“Around sports, … I think most reasonable people would recognize that there are serious fairness issues if you just treat this as not mattering when a trans athlete wants to compete in women’s sports,” Buttigieg said.
The Democrat then agreed that parents who have complained about trans athletes competing against their daughters “have a case.” However, Buttigieg also argued that politicians shouldn’t be dictating policy to determine whether males can compete in women’s and girls sports.
