(AP Photo\/Evan Vucci, File)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN Newsroom<br \/>\nUPDATED 2:28 PM PT \u2013 Tuesday, February 2, 2021<\/h5>\n<p>Female athletes are speaking out against Joe Biden&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/presidential-actions\/2021\/01\/20\/executive-order-preventing-and-combating-discrimination-on-basis-of-gender-identity-or-sexual-orientation\/\">executive order<\/a> on gender identity discrimination. The order now calls on schools nationwide to allow transgender athletes to compete in whichever gender they identify with.<\/p>\n<p>Idaho State student athlete Madison Kenyon spoke out against the order, asserting biological males hold innate physical advantages.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When you look at a lot of the facts and how a male body develops, through puberty and all the advantages that they have biologically have on females, it really bugged me,&#8221; Kenyon said.<\/p>\n<p>She went on to describe previous competitions with biological males as both frustrating and unmotivating. The state of Idaho agreed and banned transgender athletes in women&#8217;s sports nearly a year ago with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/opa\/pr\/department-justice-files-brief-defending-constitutionality-idahos-fairness-womens-sports-act\">Fairness in Women&#8217;s Sports Act<\/a>, the first state in the nation to do so.<\/p>\n<p>A number of female athletes believe the ban protected opportunities for biological females.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I feel like when girls talk about this they get a lot of backlash and it shouldn&#8217;t be like that, cause this is just promoting fair competition,&#8221; Kenyon said. &#8220;We just want have the opportunities Title IX is supposed to protect for us.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>However, Biden&#8217;s latest executive order overturned that act and in turn, the Biden administration is now facing legal action from female athletes, including Kenyon. Kenyon&#8217;s attorney said the administration is sending a message to female athletes that &#8220;they don&#8217;t matter.&#8221; She also said having a separate sporting section for women ensures they can be &#8220;champions&#8221; and maintain a level playing field.<\/p>\n<p>A number of experts agree physiological differences between the two genders can offer advantages in competitions.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There are advantages that they would have, longer legs, bigger chest capacity,&#8221; Joanna Harper, researcher at Loughborough University said. &#8220;Those such things are all advantages.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Despite growing concerns to maintain a fair playing field in collegiate sports, NCAA regulations still permit transgender athletes to compete.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/russian-opposition-leader-navalny-sentenced-to-2-5-years-in-prison\/\">Russian Opposition Leader Navalny Sentenced To 2.5 Years In Prison<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FILE \u2013 In this Jan. 28, 2021, file photo, &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1892495,"comment_status":"close","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[4690,3620,3800,3741,4925,4096],"class_list":["post-116012","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-athletes","tag-biden","tag-denounce","tag-executive","tag-female","tag-order"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116012","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=116012"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116012\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1892495"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116012"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=116012"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=116012"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
