"I think it's a good thing," Alexander said of Trump's executive order. "My daughters train so hard… for them to train so hard to get to where they are and then to see people who have genetics, they have younger brothers who can compete with them already and they're 14, so you know, if you're the same age competing with a boy, that's just hard, just body structure alone is just hard.

Alexander's stance aligns with the vast majority of Americans on the issue, according to data.
New York Times/Ipsos survey found the vast majority of Americans, including a majority of Democrats, don't think transgender athletes should be permitted to compete in women's sports. Of the 2,128 people polled, 79% said biological males who identify as women should not be allowed to participate in women's sports.
Of the 1,025 people who identified as Democrats or leaning Democrat, 67% said transgender athletes should not be allowed to compete with women.
