After the transgender movement threatened to cannibalize women’s sports, President Trump marked National Girls & Women in Sports Day by reclaiming it for women and girls once again.
The “No Men in Women’s Sports” Executive Order restores the original meaning of Title IX, protecting the rights of women and girls to have access to athletic activities, and reversing the Biden administration’s insistence that Title IX actually compelled colleges to displace women from teams to make way for men who falsely claim to be women.
The executive order states that 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.”
Colleges will now face Department of Education civil rights investigations to “affirmatively protect all-female athletic opportunities and all-female locker rooms and thereby provide the equal opportunity guaranteed by Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972,”
The executive order also throws its weight into the battle over leagues, associations and organizations trying to define what is a woman, convening members of some of these bodies, promoting single sex sports through the UN and using visas to bar ‘transgender’ men trying to compete against women in international competitions.
“The Secretary of State and the Secretary of Homeland Security shall review and adjust, as needed, policies permitting admission to the United States of males seeking to participate in women’s sports, and shall issue guidance with an objective of preventing such entry to the extent permitted by law.”
“The Secretary of State shall use all appropriate and available measures to see that the International Olympic Committee amends the standards governing Olympic sporting events to promote fairness, safety, and the best interests of female athletes by ensuring that eligibility for participation in women’s sporting events is determined according to sex and not gender identity or testosterone reduction.”
