Donald Trump signs executive order to block transgender athletes from women’s sports

New York Times  

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Wednesday to stop transgender athletes from competing in girls’ and women’s sports unless they were assigned female at birth, promising to deny federal funding to high schools and colleges that do not comply. “With this executive order, the war on women’s sports is over,” Trump said from the East Room of the White House. Trump, who signed the order on National Girls and Women in Sports Day, also took aim at the International Olympic Committee, saying that Secretary of State Marco Rubio will make the White House’s stance “as clear as anybody can make it.” “We want them to change everything having to do with the Olympics,” Trump said. On Jan. 14, the House of Representatives passed the “Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act,” which would ban transgender athletes from participating in girls’ and women’s sports in public schools and amend Title IX to recognize a person’s sex based solely on birth biology and genetics.
