White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre didn't give a direct answer when asked if President Joe Biden thinks biological males should be able to compete against female athletes amid a fierce debate over transgender sports policies.
Instead, she repeatedly called the matter 'complicated' and stated the obvious that there were different views on the subject.
It's a complicated issue,' she said, in one of several variants of her response, without stating a firm position.
She was asked about Republican former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, who has highlighted transgender people's participation in sports as a campaign issue.
She was asked about Haley's statement that 'the idea that we have biological boys playing in girls sports, it is the women's issue of our time,' and whether or not Biden agrees it is a women's rights issue.
''It is a complicated issue. It is truly a complicated issue with a wide range of views – a wide range. There is no yes or no answer to this. It is complicated. There is a rule that the Department of Education put forward, and we're going to let that process move forward. And it is, again, we want to make sure that while we establish bound [guard] rails with this rule, that we also prevent discrimination as well against transgender kids. Again, a complicated issue,' she said.
And it is, again, we want to make sure that while we establish bound [guard] rails with this rule, that we also prevent discrimination as well against transgender kids. Again, a complicated issue,' she said.

They are being responsible by not jumping on the discriminatory and persecution Christian right bandwagon.
And, BTW, it is complicated.

There's that 'tolerant' wokeness peeking through. This has NOTHING to do with Christianity and has everything to do with fairness in womens sports and the fact that the Biden administration refuses to say yes or no to a simple question. Typical politician.
And, BTW, it is complicated.
Not even remotely complicated.

Not only am I tolerant but also look for the science and fairness in all things.
Well you say potatoe and the government and the majority of the world's population say potato.

The agenda to bring down the role of male and female in the nation is in full gear, we got a very mentally sick and deceiving government that will stop at nothing to get what they want, their main target is to sicken the minds of our young.
With the help of states, they control they are getting away with the most horrendous attack on children that the repercussions will be coming when the children become adults.
Is not room for mutilated men in women sports they are still men and will ever be men, no amount of cosmetic surgery can change that fact, we are either born female or male, plain and simple.
The biden administration have no problem attacking women and children with their agenda.

The Christian right bandwagon thoughts can never be disregarded when discussing topics such as these.

I had no idea that we voted to let biological males in women sports once they claim to be women, I missed that election.
Neither I remember congress voting on such proposition and the supreme court agreeing with it.
Wow you know more than I do.
In April, the U.S. House of Representatives passed HR 734, a federal bill that mirrored legislation that had already been adopted by nearly half of the U.S. states. The bill declared that it was a "violation of Title IX" to "allow individuals of the male sex to participate in programs or activities that are designated for women or girls." It further stated that "sex shall be recognized based solely on a person's reproductive biology and genetics at birth." HR 734 passed the House on a party-line vote but has not been taken up by the Senate and is unlikely to become law. President Joe Biden has said that he would veto the bill.

Does science provide a way for a man to become a woman? If not, why?

Yes men can play in women's sports.
In fact the archaic segregation of Men and Women's sports divisions should be done away with all together. And everyone should compete equally.

Should men be able to compete in women's sports? And the answer is equally as simple. No. .
