Sen. Andy Kim (D-NJ) contended that any decision allowing transgender athletes in women’s sports ought to be left up to “the communities,” making him the latest Democratic lawmaker to weigh in on the issue in a similar manner.
“Well, what I agree is that we want to make sure that these decisions are made by the communities, by the communities, by the schools, and others that are the ones closest to us,” Kim explained on CNN’s State of the Union. “And understand what we know is that we‘re talking about a handful of people, a handful of athletes around the country. These decisions can be made in a way that doesn‘t require the entirety of the federal government to come in on top of that.”
