Trump Bans Transgender Athletes in Women’s Sports
Former President Donald Trump issued an executive order that prohibits transgender women from participating in women’s sports, fulfilling a significant promise from his campaign. The directive, named “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports,” emphasizes adherence to Title IX and seeks to leverage federal authority over private sports organizations.
Trump framed the decision as a victory for protecting women’s sports, though opponents contend there’s scant proof that transgender athletes possess an unfair edge.
The administration is set to push organizations like the NCAA, the Olympic Committee, and state authorities to enforce the ban, with the threat of federal funding cuts for schools that fail to comply.
