Marie Harf argued that the decision was solving a problem that I actually don't think is a big problem on the Olympic stage. She stated, 'Honestly, I don't care' about trans women competing against women, which led to stunned reactions from the panel.
I have nothing to do against [the trans community] but I feel like they still got a huge advantage over the women and I think it's just not fair to a women to face basically biological men. It's not fair. The woman has been working her whole life to reach her limit and then she has to face a man, who is biologically much stronger so for me I don't agree with this kind of stuff in sport.
