Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and incoming Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona clashed on the issue of transgender athletics. At his confirmation hearing on Wednesday, Cardona said student athletes should be able to compete in whichever gender category they identify with. Paul disagreed, pointing out that this would destroy female athletics.<\/p>\n<p>This followed Joe Biden\u2019s <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>, which allows biological males who identify as women to compete in all female leagues.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Let\u2019s be clear: Transgender equality is the civil rights issue of our time.

I mean to think it\u2019s okay that boys would compete with girls at a track meet, that that somehow would be fair,\u201d Paul said. \u201cI wonder where feminists are on this. I wonder where the people who supported women\u2019s sports are on this. I mean, we all going to be okay with hulking 6-foot-4 guys you know, wrestling against girls.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Paul added most Americans do not support this and this issue represents the disconnect between the Biden administration and the beliefs of most Americans.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/wis-gop-lawmakers-slam-gov-evers-new-mask-mandate\/\">Wis.
