Trump signed the “No Men in the Women Sport” executive order in the East Room
The NCAA's board of governors has revised its participation policy following President Trump’s executive order banning transgender athletes from competing in women’s sports.
The NCAA's board of governors has revised its participation policy following President Trump’s executive order banning transgender athletes from competing in women’s sports. Under the new policy, only student-athletes assigned female at birth can participate in women's competitions. However, transgender women will still be permitted to practice with women’s teams and receive associated benefits, such as medical care. This decision aligns with Trump’s 2024 campaign pledge to prohibit transgender women from women's sports, a policy that has been a central focus of his administration's approach to athletic competition and gender identity.
