Former Olympian and reality television star Caitlyn Jenner said that she supported a local ordinance in New York that barred women's sports teams with female transgender athletes from using the country's facilities.
The Associated Press reported that the ban applies to over 100 athletic facilities in the Long Island suburbs. Jenner, who won the gold medal and broke the world record in decathlon in the 1976 Montreal Olympic Games, said that allowing trans athletes like herself against other women would “ruin women’s sports” in the future and “all I’m trying to do is protect women."
