The Sports Administration has stressed that Olympic gold medalist Lin Yu-ting (林郁婷) is a woman in response to false claims by US President Donald Trump about her sex and eligibility to compete.

Ouyang Jing, a Taiwanese actress, appealed to her compatriots to file lawsuits for the hate and persecution that Lin Yu-Ting faced. She pointed out writer J.K. Rowling as one of the culprits.
