U.S. now barring visas for fake women athletes wanting to compete in America

Instructions have gone out to U.S. government offices worldwide that men who say they are women and want to compete in athletic events in America are to be denied visas.

And those who are deemed to have misrepresented their birth sex on their applications will be banned from American soil permanently.

That's according to a new report at the Guardian, which explains, "The 24 February state department cable obtained by the Guardian instructs visa officers to apply Immigration and Nationality Act section 212(a)(6)(C)(i) – the 'permanent fraud bar' – against trans applicants. Unlike regular visa denials, this section triggers lifetime exclusion from the United States with limited waiver possibilities."

The Guardian reported the instructions from the administration of President Donald Trump, who earlier declared that the U.S. government recognizes only two sexes, male and female, stated, "In cases where applicants are suspected of misrepresenting their purpose of travel or sex, you should consider whether this misrepresentation is material such that it supports an ineligibility finding."

The guidance was released over the signature of Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Trump's own executive order on the topic came Feb. 5, and said simply men are not allowed to compete in women's sports events.

"While signing the order, the president directed the homeland security secretary, Kristi Noem, to deny visas to 'men attempting to fraudulently enter the United States while identifying themselves as women athletes' during the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles – which will take place under Trump's watch," the report explained.

Trump also directed Rubio to inform the International Olympic Committee that the U.S. "will not stand by and watch men beat and batter female athletes."

Officials at the ACLU, who have fought over and over on behalf of special recognition for alternative sexual lifestyle choices, such as transgenderism, said the decision to bar male athletes who claim to be female was "alarming."

Transgenders have, in fact, been allowed to compete in Olympic events in Tokyo and Paris.

"The state department cable instructs consular officers to examine birth certificates when documentation conflicts and mark all cases with 'SWS25' to track enforcement across consular posts worldwide. It also mentions a forthcoming separate guidance from the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs that will outline additional actions to 'preclude biologically male athletes from participating in women's sporting events, including sports exchanges in the United States,'" the report noted.

In America, the NCAA already has reversed its position on men in women's sports because of Trump's definitions.

post at the Post-Millennial said, the permanent ban is available under U.S. law that cracks down on those who try to get a visa by "fraud or willfully misrepresenting a material fact."

Trump has expressed that America "categorically rejects transgender lunacy." He said, "We want them to change everything having to do with the Olympics and having to do with this absolutely ridiculous subject that we even have to talk about this subject."

In fact, following the science, males do not become females, or vice versa, because being male or female is embedded in the human body down to the DNA level.
