Washington

The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC) has updated its athlete safety policy to effectively bar transgender women from participating in women's sporting events. This policy change aligns with an executive order signed by President Trump, which aims to restrict participation in women's sports to those assigned female at birth. 

While the new rule does not explicitly mention transgender athletes, it references compliance with the executive order titled 'keeping men out of women's sports.' The move comes despite the International Olympic Committee's 2021 framework, which emphasizes inclusivity and leaves decisions on transgender athletes to sport governing bodies. The USOPC's decision follows a recent statement from its Chief Executive indicating no plans to define eligibility criteria before the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

El USOPC prohíbe a las mujeres transexuales practicar deportes femeninos

El Comité Olímpico y Paralímpico de EE.UU. cambió sus normas de elegibilidad el lunes, efectivamente prohibiendo a las mujeres transexuales competir en los deportes olímpicos femeninos. El cambio está en línea con una orden ejecutiva promulgada por el presidente Trump en enero. Vamos a traer a la corresponsal de CBS News Elise Preston, que va a desglosar todo esto para nosotros. Y lo que esto significa es que miramos hacia unas Olimpiadas en Los Angeles dentro de unos años. línea. Háblanos de este movimiento y de lo que podría significar de cara al futuro. Bueno, Liz, el comité añadió a su política de seguridad de los atletas el lunes una sección que prohibirá a las mujeres transexuales competir en eventos deportivos femeninos. La política establece, entre comillas, que el USOPC seguirá colaborando con diversas partes interesadas para garantizar que las mujeres tengan un entorno de competición justo y seguro, en consonancia con la Orden Ejecutiva 14201. Ahora, la regla no menciona explícitamente a los atletas transgénero, pero hace referencia a cumplimiento de la orden ejecutiva firmada por el presidente Trump llamada, cito, mantener a los hombres fuera de los deportes femeninos, que también tenía como objetivo cambiar las reglas en torno a las atletas que son transexuales. Ahora, el marco del Comité Olímpico Internacional a partir de 2021 establece la necesidad de garantizar todo el mundo pueda practicar deporte en un entorno seguro, libre de acoso y que respete sus necesidades e identidades. La autoridad final en las decisiones sobre los atletas transexuales recae en el Consejo Internacional de Deportes. internacionales y nacionales. Ahora, la enmienda de EE.UU. se produce pocos meses después de una reunión del USOPC en abril, donde el Jefe Ejecutiva Sarah Hirschland dijo que el comité no tenía planes para definir los criterios de elegibilidad antes de los Juegos de Los Ángeles de 2028. CBS se ha puesto en contacto para hacer comentarios. ¿Liz? Elise Preston, en directo para nosotros en Los Angeles, muchas gracias, Elise.
