Why this matters: These are positions the candidate has stated publicly — on their campaign website or in public statements — summarized in plain words with a link to where they said it. Issues they haven't spoken about publicly are left out.

  1. Require teams based on sex at birth
  2. Let each state decide
  3. Let schools or sports organizations set rules case by case
  4. Teams based on gender identity
