WASHINGTON, DC: President Joe Biden found himself at the center of a social media firestorm after his call to "support women's sports" on Friday, May 10, was met with a wave of backlash and accusations of hypocrisy, per Breitbart.

The POTUS' X post, which urged Americans to attend women's sporting events and advocated for increased sponsorships and programming, seemed to contradict his administration's ongoing efforts to allow transgender athletes to compete in women's competitions.

The contentious post on Biden's official X account read, "As a nation, we need to support women's sports by showing up in person and watching on TV – with more sponsorships and programming. Not just during championships. But all year round. Let's grow women's sports and continue inspiring the nation."

However, this plea for support came amid ongoing debates over transgender inclusion in women's sports, with Biden's administration actively pushing for transgender athletes to compete according to their gender identity.

The House Education and the Workforce Committee Republicans were among the first to challenge the Biden administration's efforts to push for transgender inclusion in women's sports. They referenced a recent Education Department ruling that extended Title IX protections to include gender identity.

"Three weeks ago, the Biden admin finalized a radical rewrite of #TitleIX that would ERASE women’s sports by allowing biological males to compete in female sports. The guy doing the most to harm women’s sports should sit this one out," the committee wrote on X.

Riley Gaines, an All-American swimmer and conservative activist, echoed similar sentiments. "Biden and his admin are virtue-signaling sellouts pandering to get votes and it's obvious to anyone with any amount of brain activity," Gaines penned on X, adding that "the easiest way to support women's sports is to keep men out of them."

The Independent Council on Women's Sports also recently joined the wave of criticism, accusing Biden of "audacity after you just mandated girls [that] surrender their sports opportunities to boys."
