"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. So I'm really happy for all the girls.

"For anything to give an advantage besides hard work is something that would just be crushing for any young lady." 

Alexander's stance aligns with the vast majority of Americans on the issue, according to data.
