CeCé Telfer became the first out, transgender athlete to win an NCAA Division II 400-meter hurdles event six years ago .

President Donald Trump signed an executive order banning transgender women from competing in women’s sports.

Telfer: “I need some explanation as to why you want to completely eradicate us from society when we’ve done nothing wrong”.

CeCé Telfer hopes to compete at the 2028 Olympics in her hometown of Los Angeles .
