Trans US truck star Sadie Schreiner revealed the devastating way US President Donald Trump’s move against trans athletes has negatively affected her.
The 21-year-old, who is two NCAA All-American in the 200-meter and 200-meter races, reports that he shared Trump’s attacks on the trans community, particularly those in sports, as he feels “defeated.” CNN.
Trump has signed the executive order titled “Exclude men from women’s sports”preventing trans women from competing in sports in the women’s category – a move Republicans claiming to restore “fairness.”
The order mainly covers high school, college and grassroots sports, and came into effect immediately despite reports that if existing rules are followed, they have no advantage over other women when competing in elite sports.
Schreiner has begun his transition in high school, keeping testosterone levels low and using hormonal therapy that cannot be detected in lab tests.
She explained as explained CNN: “(hormonal therapy) The ligaments have shrinked. It’s shortened me. It’s weakening me. It’s losing my muscle. It’s redistributed my fat. It’s reducing my lung capacity.
“My biology is fundamentally different to that of a cis man.”
However, due to Trump’s order, she is currently unable to run at National College Athletics Association (NCAA) events. She switched to running at events hosted in USA track and field, but she said she had no age group competition and recalled the experience as “brutal” when she ran around the track alone.
The requirements for USA Track & Field have since become more restrictive and concordant regulations with matching regulations from global athletics.
“sad”
“They quietly changed their policies,” she said.
Sadie Schreiner’s father, Greg Schreiner, said of the restrictions: “It’s sad. You want to celebrate with the kids with excitement. Seeing Sadie running and thinking this is her last race in this country makes you feel depressed.”
