US President Donald Trump is set to sign an executive order that will prohibit transgender athletes from participating in women’s sports, according to sources close to the White House. The order, titled “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports,” will enforce new guidelines regarding sex and sports policy.
Federal agencies, including the Department of Justice, will be instructed to interpret Title IX regulations in a way that bars transgender women and girls from competing in female sports. The order is expected to ensure that all schools and athletic associations comply by denying access to single-sex women’s sports and locker rooms for transgender individuals.
This move comes amid growing tensions and debates over fairness in competitive sports as transgender athletes, particularly transgender women, have been allowed to compete in women’s categories. The executive order is expected to impact major sports bodies like the NCAA and others, as it sets a precedent for federal enforcement of these restrictions.
