Wisconsin State Representative Tom Tiffany said that Vice President Kamala Harris supports allowing "biological men" to participate in women's sports, resulting in "over 890 medals stolen from women." Tiffany made this assertion in an October 25 post on the social media platform X.

"Over 890 medals stolen from women," said Rep. Tom Tiffany (R-Wi). "Kamala Harris supports biological men playing in women's sports."

According to the Daily Mail, a study titled "Violence Against Women and Girls in Sports" suggested that policies from international federations and national governing bodies have permitted male-born athletes to compete in women's sports. This has reportedly led to over 600 female athletes losing more than 890 medals across 29 different sports.

The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Board of Governors updated its transgender student-athlete participation policy to align with the Olympic Movement. The revised policy adopts a sport-by-sport approach to determine eligibility and requires transgender student-athletes to provide documentation meeting specific criteria, including testosterone levels. This is being implemented in three phases: immediate effect for winter and spring championships, with documentation required for regular season and championships.
