Trump says girls get 'windburn' from men in women's sports, vows nationwide ban on 'child sexual mutilation'

Former President Donald Trump promised to sign a nationwide ban on sex change surgeries for children, and said girls are 'getting badly burned' by men competing in women's sports

Former President Donald Trump on Saturday vowed to ban "child sexual mutilation" and lambasted the notion of biological men competing against female athletes as "demeaning" to women.

Speaking at the North Carolina Republican Party's convention in Greensboro, Trump got especially animated when discussing transgender issues.

"I will keep men out of women's sports," Trump said to loud applause, making a weightlifting motion with his arms.

The former president went on to say longstanding athletic records are being "obliterated," specifically mentioning weightlifting. He told a story of a woman who he described as a "great champion" being able to lift "something like 218 pounds" but no more.

TRUMP REVEALS HIS THOUGHTS ON BARRAGE OF LEGAL CHARGES, INVESTIGATIONS: 'IN A SICK WAY I SORT OF ENJOY IT'

"Then a guy comes along. Bingo!" Trump said, lifting an imaginary weight with his hands. "But you know what, honestly, it's really demeaning to women."

Trump then turned to swimming.

"Some women are being badly injured by the windburn that's caused by the man going so much faster," said Trump. "The wind is blowing. It's just terrible. It's so unfair."

The former president called those allowing biological men who identify as women to compete in female sports as "sick" and "deranged." Trump then vowed to prohibit "child sexual mutilation" in all 50 states as president, drawing loud applause from the audience.
