Donald Trump is set to sign an executive order titled 'Keeping Men Out of Women's Sports', which will reinterpret Title IX to prevent transgender athletes from competing in women's sports. This order will require immediate enforcement against any schools or athletic organizations that do not comply, aiming to distinguish gender identity from biological sex. The administration's move follows an ongoing initiative to roll back protections for transgender individuals established during the Biden administration. Key sports organizations like the NCAA are expected to adapt their policies in response to this federal directive.
The order mandates immediate enforcement against schools and athletic associations that deny women single-sex sports and locker rooms, and will direct state attorneys general to identify best practices.
NCAA President Charlie Baker stated that clarity on this issue at the federal level would be very helpful, indicating their intention to follow federal law.
The executive order is aimed at affirmatively protecting women's sports and will reverse current policies that equate gender identity with sex.
