Former American Woman’s Gymnast Dee Worley broke her silence over the American Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USAPC) who updated her policies to suggest that it will comply with President Donald Trump’s “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports” executing order.
Worley told Pakinomist Digital that she is concerned about the “vague” nature of the new policy and that USAPC has not laid any clear guidelines for trans -cluttering in women’s sports, but it has simply included a paragraph in its athletic security policy that directly cites Trump’s “to keep men out of women’s sports”.

“I think they intentionally leave it guard to give way to flips and to make room for the athletes to kind of lose autonomy about whether the competition is fair,” Worley said. “They are just leaving the little wine room to accommodate the waking mob.”
The former gymnast, who competed for the American national team already in her high school in the late 1980s, has joined other female athletes and activists, including women’s fence Stephanie Turner, in calling for USOPC to implement mandatory sex screening for women’s competitions.
Worley said she doesn’t think any momentum will be achieved on the question until mandatory sex screenings are implemented.
Similar calls found NCAA after updating its gender eligibility policy to comply with Trump in February. Worley made history at the University of Alabama as a 17-time all-American, a four-time champion and a nine-time regional champion. As a senior in 1993, she set an NCAA record with perfect 10s in five consecutive meetings.
Still, Worley recognized that the recent change of USAPC indicates the effect of public pressure on the organization over the issue of trans athletes in women’s sports. Worley criticized former gymnastics legend Simone Biles for verbally attacking the conservative activist Riley Gaines over the issue in June and now believes that the effect of the viral feud showed USOPC that people are not afraid to talk more about the question.

“I think everyone excited their hand in that situation, related to Simone, starting with her and then including the governing body. The pressure is mounted, people are no longer afraid of being called names. People are no longer afraid to stand on the side of what is right,” Worley said.
“The fact that Simone deleted her X account is absolute proof that [the impact of the feud has grown since it occurred]. I think that in the overall landscape of female sports it was a waters. ”
Other athletes have directly credited the feud between Gaines and Biles as a potential motivator for the time of USAPC’s political change.
Turner told Pakinomist Digital that she believes it affected the change.
“Simone represented a side of the debate that did not seem very informed about this question, and it came out as insensitive and insulting, as if she had left all women and girls whom she claims to support,” Turner said. “It really brought a focus on this debate and how insensitive to being pro-men in women’s sports are really for women.”
Former NFL player Jack Brewer told Pakinomist Digital that he thought the feud also affected the recent change.
“Jeg tror, at fejden mellem Simone Biles og Riley Gaines havde meget at gøre med OL, der forbød transkønne atleter. Det udsatte den offentlige mening, og jeg tror, at præsident Trumps sejr i det sidste valg var en vigtig katalysator. Folk med sund fornuft forsøger at distancere sig fra denne løgn, der er blevet lært til vores børn og har trængt ind i hele vores samfund – det, som du en eller en eller en eller anden måde kan vælge, kan Your lender distances.
“I think people in America and in this culture just won’t accept it. This was shown in the feud between two of America’s greatest female athletes in their respective sports. Simone Biles, by the way, is one of the greatest athletes in the story of America. To get out of her mouth, it really highlighted how deep this lie has penetrated.”
