Trump Bans Transgender Athletes From Women’s Sports With New Executive Order

 Trump Bans Transgender Athletes From Women’s Sports With New Executive Order.

In a move on Wednesday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order titled “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports,” effectively banning transgender athletes from participating in girls’ and women’s sports in the US.

This decision aims to “put an end to the war on women’s sports” in the country, according to Trump.

The order tasks the US Department of Education with ensuring schools nationwide comply with the directive.

Trump warned that institutions allowing transgender athletes to compete in women’s sports risk losing federal funding, stating, “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.”

This move is the latest in a series of actions by the Trump administration that have been criticized by LGBT rights activists.
