“From now on women’s sports will be only for women,” Trump said before signing the order in the White House, surrounded by dozens of female girls and athletes. “With this executive order the war against women’s sport is over,” he said.

Among those attending the signature ceremony were outstanding Republicans, including the president of the House of Representatives, Mike Johnson, and Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene.

“We will defend the proud tradition of female athletes and we will not allow men to hit, hurt and deceive our women and girls,” Trump added between applause and cheers.

The Order of the US president allows United States government agencies Deny funds to schools that allow transgender athletes to compete in women’s teams. “If they allow men to take control of female sports teams or invade their changing rooms, they will be investigated … and will risk their federal financing,” he said.

The National University Athletic Association (NCAA), which regulates student sports activities in universities throughout the country, welcomed the order and said they would align it “in the next few days.”

“We firmly believe that clear, consistent and uniform eligibility standards would be the best for today’s students-instead of a mosaic of state laws and conflicting judicial decisions,” said NCAA president, Charlie Baker, in a statement . “To that end, the order of President Trump provides a clear national standard,” he said.

Trump also said that he will now press International Olympic Committee To change their rules about transgender athletes before the 2028 Los Angeles Games, and ordered the Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, to tell the IOC “we want everything to change … what has to do with this issue Absolutely ridiculous. “

The Amnesty International Human Rights Organization described the order as “Another cruel attack against transgender people The objective of stigmatizing and discriminating even more LGBTQ+”people.

Republican Trump has repeatedly attacked non -compliant people with their gender in a series of orders that promote their right -wing radical agenda at the beginning of his second term.

In his inaugural speech he announced that the United States government policy I would only recognize two genres, male and female, ending the practice of offering a third gender option in some environments. Days later, He signed an order to free the army of what he called “transgender ideology” and effectively prohibit transgender troops. He also issued an order to restrict gender transition procedures for people under 19.

This series of actions occurs despite the fact that transgender people represent only a small minority of the American population.

During the 2024 election campaign, democrats repeatedly criticized the divisive issue of transgender people, taking advantage of a broader cultural war on the subject.

One of Trump’s most successful attacks against his electoral rival Kamala Harris – “Kamala Harris is with them/them. President Trump is with you” – he pointed to his support for the rights of trans people.

His executive order on Wednesday, February 5, arrives after the House of Representatives led by Republicans approved in January a bill that severely restricts the participation of transgender athletes in women’s and female sports.

As transgender people have become a more visible presence in the United States, generating questions about gender norms and equity, many conservatives have joined in support of women’s sports.
