Trump Signs Executive Order Banning Transgender Women from Women’s Sports

U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order banning transgender women from competing in women's sports, interpreting Title IX based on gender assigned at birth.

The order titled "Keeping Men Out of Women's Sports" mandates enforcement against schools violating this policy, risking federal funding cuts.

Trump framed the move as protecting women’s sports, resonating with voters across party lines. 

The order, signed on National Girls and Women in Sports Day, follows Trump’s broader push against transgender rights.

He also warned the International Olympic Committee to revise policies regarding transgender athletes ahead of the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.
