President Donald Trump signed a landmark executive order on Wednesday, ensuring that biological men cannot compete in women’s sports.
The signing ceremony, held at the White House, featured President Trump surrounded by young female athletes, symbolizing the administration’s commitment to safeguarding opportunities for women and girls in sports.
“Under the Trump administration, we will defend the proud tradition of female athletes, and we will not allow men to beat up, injure, and cheat our women and our girls. From now on, women’s sports will be ONLY FOR WOMEN!” Trump said during the signing ceremony.
The executive order directs the Department of Education to enforce Title IX based on biological sex, threatening to withhold federal funding from educational institutions that allow transgender women to compete in women’s sports. In the event that the Department of Education is dismantled, other agencies will take over.
“We are putting every school receiving taxpayer dollars on notice: If you let men take over women’s sports teams or invade your locker rooms, you will be investigated for violations of Title IX and risk your federal funding,” said Trump.
It also instructs the Department of Homeland Security to review visa applications to prevent individuals assigned male at birth from entering the U.S. to compete in women’s sports.
Additionally, the order mandates that the State Department advocate for changes within the International Olympic Committee to exclude transgender athletes from women’s events.
