Arizona's Sen. Ruben Gallego says trans athletes should 'find other activities' [View all]

Sen. Ruben Gallego sided with many conservatives — including President Donald Trump — in calling for “a separation” in girls’ sports based on biology that would exclude transgender athletes.

Gallego, D-Arizona, told The Dispatch that “there are some sports that some of these trans children should not be playing.”

"As a parent of a daughter, I think it’s legitimate that parents are worried about the safety of their daughters, and I think it’s legitimate for us to be worried also about fair competition,” he continued.

The comments came in a May 29 interview pondering his presidential prospects for 2028.
