From <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/can-men-and-women-compete-athletically-heres-what-the-science-says\/\" title=\"Can Men And Women Compete Athletically? Here\u2019s What The Science Says.\">allowing transgender individuals<\/a> to participate in Miss Universe a decade ago to supporting bans on biologically male athletes competing in women&#8217;s sports in 2022, Trump&#8217;s stance has evolved.<\/p>\n<h3>Praise for Miss Universe 2012 Olivia Culpo<\/h3>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;I do think that would be fair, but I can understand that people would be a little apprehensive to take that road because there is a tradition of natural-born women,&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But today, where there are so many surgeries and so many people out there who have a need to change for a happier life, I do accept that because I believe it\u2019s a free country.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Trump, who owned the Miss Universe pageant at the time, commended Olivia Culpo&#8217;s response to the question of transgender participants in the pageant. Culpo, competing as Miss USA, expressed her belief in fairness and acceptance.<\/p>\n<h3>Support for Miss Canada Jenna Talackova<\/h3>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;This is a young woman who, according to the laws of Canada and according to the laws of the United States, is allowed to enter the pageant system. &#8230; We didn\u2019t have a rule. This is sort of new territory. We have 58 contestants in Canada. I said let her run and maybe she will win, and if she wins, she will go to Miss Universe. And I think I made the right decision. I feel fine with the decision.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Trump also celebrated the entrance of Miss Canada Jenna Talackova, a transgender woman, into the pageant. He acknowledged the global discussion it sparked and defended his decision to allow her to compete.<\/p>\n<h2>A Shift in Stance<\/h2>\n<p>However, a decade later, as Trump seeks the Republican nomination for president in 2024, his position on transgender competitors has changed. He now promises a &#8220;ban on men participating in women&#8217;s sports.&#8221; He has also made controversial remarks about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/psaki-refuses-to-answer-if-biden-cares-about-doctors-who-object-to-performing-controversial-procedures\/\" title=\"Psaki Refuses To Answer If Biden Cares About Doctors Who Object To Performing Controversial Procedures\">gender transition surgeries<\/a> for minors, referring to them as &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/donald-trump-pledges-to-end-left-wing-gender-insanity-on-day-one\/\" title=\"Donald Trump Pledges To End \u2018Left-Wing Gender Insanity\u2019 On Day One\">child sexual mutilation<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>If elected president, Trump pledged to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/donald-trumps-fickle-relationship-with-transgender-competitors\/\" title=\"Trump's ever-changing stance on transgender competitors.\">sign executive orders banning federal agencies<\/a> from promoting gender transition surgeries at any age. Additionally, he expressed his intention to ask Congress to pass a bill that only recognizes genders assigned at birth.<\/p>\n<h2>Challenger Ron DeSantis and the LGBT Community<\/h2>\n<p>Trump&#8217;s main rival for the GOP nomination, Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida, is also seen as strongly opposed to the LGBT community. He has enacted laws that negatively impact LGBT youth, including restrictions on gender identity, limitations on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/children-are-more-smarter-than-ron-desantis-education-policies-democratic-teacher-turned-senator\/\" title=\"\u2018Children Are More Smarter\u2019 Than Ron DeSantis\u2019 Education Policies: Democratic Teacher-Turned-Senator\">discussing sexual orientation<\/a> in schools, and barriers to transgender youth accessing gender transition surgery.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">Click here<\/a> to read more from The Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Universe&#8217;s decision to allow transgender contestants in the past.
