The way this is phrased seems to imply - at least to me - that the two statements are different. That's what the "previously said" can be used to indicate. But saying it's bad to ban trans people is the same is saying it's bad to not let them play.
I'd prefer it written as " Lesbian congresswoman Angie Craig, who is seeking her fourth term in Congress, has been consistent in saying that it is wrong to discriminate against trans women joining female teams.
Yes.
