Trump set to sign an executive order prohibiting transgender women from participating in women’s sports.


President Donald Trump signed an executive order prohibiting transgender women and girls from competing in female sports, stating that it is to protect women’s access to fair athletic opportunities. The order will roll back Biden administration guidance on Title IX, preventing trans students from participating in girls’ and women’s sports and using women’s restrooms. The Education Department will investigate violations, and the administration will work with sports governing bodies to ensure compliance. The order also affects U.S. visa policies for transgender athletes. The issue of transgender women in women’s sports has been divisive, with many states having laws banning transgender students from participating in sports based on their gender identity. Two opponents of transgender inclusion in women’s sports, Rep. Nancy Mace and former college swimmer Riley Gaines, supported the ban. The Human Rights Campaign warned of the negative consequences of the order, stating that it could lead to harassment and discrimination of transgender young people. Prior to this order, Trump had signed three others targeting transgender rights, such as recognizing only male and female sexes and restricting access to gender-affirming care for trans youth. The order comes on the National Girls & Women in Sports Day, a celebration of female athletes.
