Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy went on the record to say he disagrees with biological men competing against women in sports.
Kennedy appeared on CNN Saturday where he was asked point blank about his position. The 69-year-old son of former Attorney General and New York Sen. Robert Kennedy announced his candidacy earlier this month.

“I am against people participating in women’s sports who are biologically male,” Kennedy said. “I think women have worked too hard to develop women’s sports over the past 30 years. I watched it happen, and I don’t think that’s fair.”
Meanwhile, the House of Representatives passed a the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act last week, which prohibits educational institutions that receive federal funding from permitting transgender women in women’s sports.

President Joe Biden promised to veto the bill should it reach his desk, which it is unlikely to. Instead Biden’s administration further proposed a new regulation that would require schools to allow elementary students to compete on the sports teams that align with their gender identity.
Kennedy’s opponents include the incumbent president and author Marianne Williamson.
