The US state department has ordered officials worldwide to deny visas to transgender athletes attempting to come to the US for sports competitions and to issue permanent visa bans against those who are deemed to misrepresent their birth sex on visa applications.
The 24 February state department cable obtained by the Guardian instructs visa officers to apply Immigration and Nationality Act section 212(a)(6)©(i) – the “permanent fraud bar” – against trans applicants. Unlike regular visa denials, this section triggers lifetime exclusion from the United States with limited waiver possibilities.
“In cases where applicants are suspected of misrepresenting their purpose of travel or sex, you should consider whether this misrepresentation is material such that it supports an ineligibility finding,” reads the directive from the US secretary of state, Marco Rubio.
So. Can anyone name 10 female college athletes. Since they are so concerned for them.
I’m genuinely confused how college sports is so big in the US.
Who in their right mind besides parents and maybe friends gives a flying fuck about sports tournaments of amateur young adults?
You want us to name all 10?
Name any 10 female athletes in College athletics. If you are so concerned with Trans athletes. Thats what I mean. Not saying you don’t respect trans athletes.
I was joking that there’s literally about 10 trans athletes in college sports out of a couple hundred thousand total, it’s crazy how much of a non-issue it really is
