南卡罗来纳州民主党参议院提名人在特朗普攻击下就跨性别政策作出回应

一名竞选美国参议院席位的南卡罗来纳州民主党人此前曾反对限制跨性别运动员参与女子体育赛事的立法，如今却强调自己反对生物男性参与女子田径项目，此前唐纳德·特朗普总统在中期选举前针对她的过往记录发起攻击。
特朗普本周在“真相社交”的一系列帖文中将矛头对准挑战共和党参议员达琳·格雷厄姆的儿科医生安妮·安德鲁斯，给她贴上“安妮变性人”的标签，并指责她支持与南卡罗来纳州选民立场相悖的跨性别政策。
这位总统还分享了一则攻击广告，指责安德鲁斯支持生物男性与女性运动员同台竞技。广告中称：“安妮·安德鲁斯支持‘他们/她们’，不支持我们的价值观，不支持南卡罗来纳州。”
但安德鲁斯在周四接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访时予以反驳，称自己的立场被误传。
“我不支持生物男性参与女子体育赛事，也不支持为未成年人进行变性手术，”安德鲁斯说。
她的这番言论与她此前公开反对南卡罗来纳州2022年《拯救女子体育法案》的态度形成鲜明对比，该法案限制跨性别运动员参与女子和女子学校体育赛事。当时安德鲁斯称该立法“可耻”且“极具危害性”，这引发了人们的质疑：她如何调和自己过去对该法案的反对与当前的竞选立场。

该法案获得通过后，要求公立学校和学院赞助的校际、院际、校内和俱乐部体育队伍必须按男性或女性类别划分。随后将女子队伍对男性学生关闭，同样将男子体育项目对女性关闭——除非学校没有设立指定的女子队伍。与公立学校竞技的私立学校也必须遵守相同规则。
该法案还允许因违规行为受到损害的学生起诉学校。
安德鲁斯当时发布的社交媒体帖文在她2026年竞选参议员期间重新受到关注，招致了共和党人的施压。
“‘变性人安妮’安德鲁斯正在南卡罗来纳州与我们优秀的达琳·格雷厄姆角逐参议院席位，”特朗普在其中一篇帖文中写道。
“‘变性人安妮’尤其不符合伟大的南卡罗来纳州人民的价值观——她支持全民跨性别、开放边境、削减警察经费、高税收、孱弱的军队，并且绝对会竭力剥夺你们的枪支——换句话说，她反对我们伟大的第二修正案！‘变性人’并不代表南卡罗来纳州，南卡罗来纳州必须在即将到来的选举中表明，它并不支持她，”特朗普补充道。
在接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访时，安德鲁斯对特朗普的人身攻击不予理会，称这是在转移人们对南卡罗来纳州选民核心关切问题的注意力。
“至于那些人身攻击，如果叫我的名字就能降低这么多辛勤工作的南卡罗来纳州家庭的汽油和柴油价格，如果能降低食品杂货价格或以某种方式让医疗保健变得更实惠，那他尽管随便怎么叫我都行，但我不认为这是解决问题的途径，所以我会继续专注于我能为南卡罗来纳州民众做些什么，”安德鲁斯说。
安德鲁斯没有立即回应关于她的言论是否反映了立场转变的额外置评请求。她也没有详细说明《拯救女子体育法案》为何招致批评。

至少一名共和党观察员、全国共和党参议员委员会区域新闻秘书尼克·普利亚认为，她的言论表明她向选民传递的信息并不妥当。
“安妮·安德鲁斯的公然谎言表明她是多么绝望，以及她多么看不起南卡罗来纳州民众。但安德鲁斯无论说什么或做什么，都无法改变她极左翼的过往记录，”普利亚在评论中说道。
这并非安德鲁斯首次因共和党人认为她在跨性别政策上退缩而遭到批评。2022年，南卡罗来纳州共和党众议员南希·梅斯指责安德鲁斯试图收回自己对H.4047号法案的反对立场，该法案旨在“禁止对未成年人实施旨在改变其外貌或延缓青春期的医疗程序，或为其开具相关药物，同时设置例外条款；制定刑事处罚措施；以及其他相关目的”。
安德鲁斯当时在X平台上发帖称反对该法案，称其“危险”，后来却又表示自己反对为未成年人进行变性手术。
“她称这项禁止此类手术的立法是危险的。她称该立法是对我们年轻人的攻击。直到我们指出这一点后，她才决定现在不再支持她去年曾公开大力支持的法案。所以想要逃避自己的公开言论实在太难了，因为一旦你发了推文，就会永远留在公共记录上。这就是我们发现此事的经过，”梅斯当时告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。
值得注意的是，最近几周并非只有安德鲁斯一人因看似调整跨性别政策立场而受到关注。其他民主党人，如俄亥俄州民主党众议员马西·卡普图尔、北卡罗来纳州民主党众议员唐·戴维斯以及爱荷华州国会候选人莎拉·特龙·加里奥特，都因共和党人曝光其相关记录而被迫重申自己的立场。

以卡普托为例，她称自己“与共和党人一起投票，将跨性别意识形态排除在我们的学校之外”，尽管她曾投票反对一项女子体育法案。同样，戴维斯在同一项女子体育法案上投了“弃权”票，后来却声称女性在体育领域应该拥有“安全公平的空间”。而曾投票反对禁止生物男性进入女子更衣室的加里奥特今年早些时候澄清了自己的立场，称“我反对让男性进入女子更衣室”。
这些言论反映了公众舆论的更广泛趋势，即跨性别运动员政策已达成共识。
皮尤研究中心最近在8月11日的一份报告中发现，73%的受访者“完全不”或“不太”接受“运动员参加与其出生时性别不符的运动队”，而仅有13%的受访者表示他们“极其”或“非常”接受这一想法。同样，66%的参与者表示他们会支持要求跨性别运动员按照其生理性别参赛的法律或政策，而15%的人表示他们会反对此类政策。

距离应对对其观点的批评仅剩四周时间，安德鲁斯如今即将参加11月3日的南卡罗来纳州大选，她已于今年6月的州民主党初选中胜出。

A South Carolina Democrat running for U.S. Senate who previously opposed legislation restricting transgender athletes’ participation in girls’ sports is now emphasizing her opposition to biological males participating in female athletics as President Donald Trump targets her record ahead of the midterm elections.
Trump took aim at Annie Andrews, a pediatrician challenging Republican Sen. Darline Graham, in a series of Truth Social posts this week, dubbing her “Annie Trannie” and accusing her of supporting transgender policies that are out of step with South Carolina voters.
The president also shared an attack ad accusing Andrews of supporting biological males competing against female athletes. “Annie Andrews is for they/them, not for our values, not for South Carolina,” the ad said.
But Andrews pushed back in an interview with Fox News Digital on Thursday, arguing that her positions have been misrepresented.
“I don’t support biological men playing in women’s sports and I don’t support gender surgery on minors,” Andrews said.
Her comments stand in contrast to her public opposition to South Carolina’s 2022 Save Women’s Sports Act, which restricted transgender athletes’ participation in girls’ and women’s school sports. At the time, Andrews called the legislation “shameful” and “actively harmful,” raising questions about how she reconciles her past opposition to the law with her current campaign position.
DEMOCRATS ARE CHANGING THEIR TRANSGENDER MESSAGE. REPUBLICANS SAY THEY’RE JUST FLIP-FLOPPING

As passed, the bill required interscholastic, intercollegiate, intramural and club teams sponsored by public schools and colleges to be designated as male or female-coded. It then closed women’s teams to male students and similarly closed men’s sports to women — unless the school did not have a designated women’s team. Private schools competing against public schools were required to follow the same rules.
It also allowed students harmed by a violation to sue schools.
Andrews’ social media post at the time garnered resurfaced attention as she launched her 2026 Senate bid, attracting pressure from Republicans.
“Annie “Trannie” Andrews is running against our wonderful Darline Graham for the Senate in South Carolina,” Trump wrote in one post.
“Annie Trannie is not, in particular, as it pertains to representing the Values of the Great People of South Carolina — She is in favor of Transgender for Everyone, Open Borders, Defunding the Police, High Taxes, a Weak Military, and will absolutely fight to take your guns away — In other words, she is against our Great Second Amendment! Trannie is not for South Carolina, and South Carolina must show, in the upcoming Election, that it is not for her,” Trump added.
In her interview with Fox News Digital, Andrews dismissed Trump’s barb, calling it a distraction from the issues central to voters in South Carolina.
“And in regards to the name-calling, if calling me names is going to lower gas and diesel prices here for so many hardworking South Carolinian families, if it’s going to lower grocery prices or somehow make healthcare more affordable then he can call me all the names he wants but I don’t think that’s a path to solution so I’m going to stay focused on what I can do to help folks in South Carolina,” Andrews said.
Andrews did not immediately respond to additional requests for comment on whether her statements reflected a change in stance. She also did not expand on what had drawn criticism for the Save Women’s Sports Act.

At least one Republican onlooker, National Republican Senatorial Regional Press Secretary Nick Puglia, believes her remarks speaks poorly of the message she’s presenting to voters.
“Annie Andrews’ blatant lies show just how desperate she is and how little she thinks of South Carolinians. But nothing Andrews says or does will change her far-left record,” Puglia said in a comment.
This isn’t the first time Andrews has received Republican criticisms for what they view as retreats from trans policies. In 2022, Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., called out Andrews for, in her view, trying to walk back her opposition to H. 4047, a bill that would “prohibit the performance of a medical procedure or the prescription or issuance of medication, upon or to a minor, that is intended to alter the appearance of the minor’s gender or delay puberty, with exceptions; to create criminal penalties; and for other purposes.”
Andrews said she opposed the bill in a post to X, calling it “dangerous,” only to later say that she opposed trans procedures for minors.
“She called thewww.youtube.comwww.youtube.com legislation to ban that kind of surgery dangerous. She called that legislation an attack on our youth. And it wasn’t until we called her out on it that she decided that she’s now not for something that she was very publicly in support of just last year. And so it’s really hard to play hide and seek from your public comments, because once you tweet it, it’s on their public record forever. And that’s how we discovered it,” Mace told Fox News Digital at the time.
Notably, she isn’t the only Democrat who in recent weeks has received attention for seeming shifts in her position over transgender policies. Fellow Democrats like Rep. Marcy Kaptur, D-Ohio, Rep. Don Davis, D-N.C., and Sarah Trone Garriott, a congressional candidate in Iowa, have all been forced to reiterate their positions as Republicans have highlighted their records on the subject.

In Kaptur’s case, she described how she had “voted with Republicans to keep transgender ideology out of our schools” despite voting against a women’s sports bill. Similarly, Davis voted “present” on that same women’s bill while later claiming that women should have “safe and fair space” in sports. And Garriott, who cast a vote against a ban on biological men in women’s locker rooms, clarified her stance earlier this year, stating that “I oppose letting men in women’s locker rooms.”
Those statements reflect broader trends in public opinion showing consensus on trans athlete policies.
Recently, the Pew Research Center found in a Aug. 11 report that 73% of respondents were “not at all” or “not too” comfortable with “athletes competing on sports teams that do not match their sex at birth,” compared to just 13% that replied that they were “extremely” or “very” comfortable with the idea. Similarly, 66% of participants said they would support laws or policies requiring trans athletes to compete on teams that match their biological sex compared to 15% who said they would oppose such policies.

With just four weeks left to address criticisms over her views, Andrews now heads to South Carolina’s general election on Nov. 3., having cleared the state’s Democratic primary earlier this year in June.
