The NCAA announced a new policy that restricts female competition to individuals assigned female at birth, following President Trump's trans sports ban. This move came immediately after Trump's executive order, which has been criticized despite research showing that trans women face no significant advantages in elite sports. The updated NCAA guidelines permit only students assigned female at birth to participate in female sports, while allowing trans athletes to practice with women's teams. The NCAA's decision reflects a broader attack against the trans community under the current presidential administration.
The NCAA will allow trans women who were assigned male at birth to practice with women's teams but prohibits them from competing in the women's category.
Recent NCAA policy mandates that student-athletes assigned male at birth cannot compete in NCAA women's teams, even if their gender identity is female.
