President Signs Executive Order on Transgender Athletes in Women's Sports
The President has signed the "No Men in Women's Sports Executive Order," marking the fourth executive order targeting transgender people since retaking office. This new measure rolls back the Biden administration’s guidance on Title IX and mandates the Department of Education investigate schools that fail to comply. White House officials have warned that schools found out of compliance could risk losing federal funding. Additionally, the order directs the government to deny visas for transgender women athletes attempting to enter the United States for the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. President Trump emphasized the order's aim to eliminate "woke lunacy" from women's sports while reinforcing America’s stance on rejecting transgender policies in the Olympics.
