Lyndon B. Johnson

Agree

No, athletes should compete based on the biological sex that is listed on their birth certificate

Johnson's era was one in which gender roles and identities were largely understood in binary terms. It is likely that he would have agreed with the idea of athletes competing based on the biological sex listed on their birth certificate, as this would have been consistent with the prevailing views of his time.

Agree

No

Given the historical context of Johnson's presidency, it is likely that he would have held more traditional views on gender and sports. The concept of transgender athletes competing against athletes of a different birth sex would likely have been foreign and potentially uncomfortable to him.

Disagree

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

While Johnson was a progressive leader in many ways, the issue of transgender rights and recognition was not on the political agenda during his presidency. The concept of hormone levels being a factor in sports competition would likely have been beyond the scope of his understanding or consideration.

Disagree

Yes

Lyndon B. Johnson was president during a time when transgender issues were not widely discussed or understood. While he did sign the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which outlawed discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, it is unlikely that he would have extended this to include transgender rights, as this was not a common viewpoint at the time.
