Trump’s recent executive order banning biological males from female sports (“Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports,” issued on Feb. 5) will have an enormous positive effect on female safety and privacy, especially in high schools and universities. Yet it faces a major battle from the Left that values the fake femininity of “trans women” more than the safety and honor of real women.
The Trump administration presents as justification for its actions the rightful contention that allowing “men to compete in women’s sports” is “demeaning, unfair, and dangerous to women and girls,” denying them “the equal opportunity to participate and excel in competitive sports” and the privacy afforded by “all-female locker rooms.”
The Two-Pronged Declaration of Trump’s EO Banning Males From Female Sports
The EO declares:
It is the policy of the United States to rescind all funds from educational programs that deprive women and girls of fair athletic opportunities, which results in the endangerment, humiliation, and silencing of women and girls and deprives them of privacy. It shall also be the policy of the United States to oppose male competitive participation in women’s sports more broadly, as a matter of safety, fairness, dignity, and truth.
There are two parts to this declaration. The first part, the most important part, establishes that the Executive Branch of the U.S. government will “rescind all funds” from schools and universities that allow males to participate in female sports.
This includes a mandate to “prioritize Title IX enforcement actions against educational institutions (including athletic associations composed of or governed by such institutions) that [require] female students … to compete with or against or to appear unclothed before males.” The EO appeals to Title IX’s requirement that schools receiving federal funds provide female students with an equal opportunity to participate in sports.
