WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order aimed at banning transgender girls and women from competing in women sports, a move ensures supporters, but critics argue that players A small group of discrimination is treated and their rights are violated.
This order directs the Justice Department to ban transgender girls and women from participating in women schools’ sports under Trump’s title IX, which is a law against sexual discrimination in education.
“The war against women’s sports is over,” Trump said at a signing ceremony.
“My administration will not see men and women athletes will not be able to see the batsman.”
The order, which faces legal challenges, has called for “immediate implementation” across the country. This is at risk of disconnecting federal funds for any school that allows transgender women or girls to compete in women’s designated sports competitions.
This order will affect only a small number of players. The President of the National College Gate Athletics Association told a Senate panel in December that he was familiar with less than 10 transgender athletes in 520,000 participating in 1,100 member schools.
But the matter is related to voters, who, in their election rallies, responded with enthusiastic clapping, referring to the ban on transgender athletes. He repeatedly broadcast television ads that criticized that she was allowing transgender women and girls to compete in women’s sports.
Polls have found that most Americans have opposed transgender athletes participating in sports, which are in line with their gender identity.

These orders have faced immediate legal challenges.
In his first day on January 20, Trump signed an order demanding government employees demand that they only refer to “gender” and not “gender”, and sexual relationships a “non The biological reality is called “which prevents any change in gender identity.
The debate on transgender involvement in sports is often focused on justice, opponents say, people who have gone through puberty have physical benefits. Transgender workers say there is little evidence to show that transgender women have unfair advantage.
This order has changed the interpretation of the Biden administration’s title IX that it protects transgender people from discrimination based on sex, which was blocked by the Federal Judge in 2024.
More than 20 states have passed rules that ban transgender girls from participating in girls’ sports, some of which have faced legal challenges.
Transgender women athletes for NCAA need to meet the limits of testosterone based on sports by game, but they do not detect transgender participation in school sports.
Kelly Robinson, president of the Human Rights Campaign for LGBTQ, said Trump’s actions would lead to harassment and discrimination against children. “For many students, games are about to be from somewhere,” Robinson said in a statement. We want to have all children – not biased policies that make life difficult for them. “
Wednesday Executive Order Department will instruct Homeland Security to review transgender women’s visa applications to ensure that they are assigned at birth when they enter the United States to compete in women’s sports. Align with relationships.
The White House official said, “If you are coming to the country and you are claiming that you are a woman, but you are a man here to compete against these women so we review this for cheating Will take. “
It will also instruct the State Department to “demand” changes “within the International Olympic Committee to prevent transgender athletes from competition. The United States will use “all our powers and our ability” to enforce the order in Olympic events on the US soil, the official said. The summer is set to take place in the 2028 Olympics Los Angeles.
