Olympic gold medalist Caitlyn Jenner is backing a New York county's effort to ban transgender athletes from competing against biological women, arguing that doing so will protect competition in female sports.
"You have to compete in the biological sex that you were born. This is critical to protecting the integrity of competition in women's sports," Jenner, a Fox News contributor, said in Mineola, New York, on Monday.
"My fear is that if this woke agenda that's out there… the DEI world that's out there, if this continues, it'll ruin women's sports over the next 10, 20 years. Let's stop it now while we can."
Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman signed an executive order last month denying permits to use facilities if a biological male is on a girls' team playing with other biological females. He joined "Fox & Friends" to discuss how he garnered Jenner's support for the measure and what legal hurdles are on the horizon with Attorney General Letitia James.
"We knew Caitlyn's position on the issue and that she supported my executive order," he told Brian Kilmeade on Tuesday.
"So we reached out to her and asked her if she would come to New York and join with us to show solidarity for the ban. And she was very gracious. She came to Nassau County yesterday. She laid out a very well-reasoned and articulate dissertation based on fact, why biological females should not have to compete against biological males."
"It's unsafe, it's unfair, and we want women to be able to play on a level playing field," he continued.
The order, which is now embattled in state and federal legal woes, said the "action was necessary to maintain fairness for women’s athletic opportunities."

Who cares what Bruce says anyway?
Good for “Caitlyn”. It takes balls to tell the truth in public like this.
He still has my pity but earned a bit of respect for telling the truth.
I do believe if he was never involved with the Kardashian whore house he’d have been OK.
Who knew that common sense would be so controversial?
He’s still a weirdo who needs psychiatric help
Yes but imagine being an 18 year old girl facing this. She has spent years getting that scholarship. It sucks she is in that position just awful.
“Yes but imagine being an 18 year old girl facing this. “

It means at the age of 18 she is making a decision which will affect her economic career. That’s what she’s thinking.
What she doesn’t know is at the age of 18 she’s making a decision that millions of 18 years have been forced to make throughout history. What is more important? Life, liberty, or freedom? Are they made of what is needed to give up something they worked for in order to protect what is in the long run much more important as a whole.
In it’s rawest components that is what’s being asked of them.
It’s interesting that in all the time they were training in the body their spirits were not trained.
He may have made some poor choices, but his situation is what it is.
I appreciate Truth no matter who voices it - we hear too little of it.
