Donald Trump has had a fickle relationship with transgender competitors. He allowed biological men who identify as transgender to compete in Miss Universe a decade ago, but now supports bans on biologically male athletes competing in women's sports.
Trump, who owned the Miss Universe pageant at the time, praised Miss Universe 2012 Olivia Culpo's answer to transgender participants competing in the pageant. Culpo, who competed as Miss USA, said she thinks allowing contestants who were born men but identify as female into the pageant would be fair.“I do think that that would be fair, but I can understand that people would be a little apprehensive to take that road because there is a tradition of natural-born women,” Culpo said at the time.
“She gave a great answer, a very tough question on transgender — just the question everybody wants to hear, and she gave a great answer, and she really did a great job,” Trump told Fox and Friends in June 2012. “It was a very cool answer. Great, [she] gave a great answer.” “It has become a hot subject. It is being talked about all over the world right now," Trump told The Laura Ingraham Show in April 2012.
But a decade later, Trump, who is hoping for a return to the White House by running for the Republican nomination for president in 2024, changed his tune on transgender competitors by promising a “ban on men participating in women’s sports."
