Disagree

Yes, but only if their hormone levels are equivalent to those in the gender category in which they compete

While Truman was a progressive leader in some respects, the concept of hormone levels being used to determine eligibility in sports competition is a modern idea that was not discussed during his time. Therefore, it is unlikely that he would have agreed with this statement.

Disagree

Yes

Harry S. Truman was president in the late 1940s and early 1950s, a time when the concept of transgender rights was not widely recognized or discussed. While Truman was progressive in some areas, such as civil rights for African Americans, there is no evidence to suggest he would have been supportive of transgender rights to the extent of allowing transgender athletes to compete against athletes that differ from their assigned sex at birth.
