President Donald Trump will sign an executive order on Wednesday banning men from competing in women’s sports, a key rallying point during his 2024 campaign. Trump frequently criticized Democratic candidate Kamala Harris on her support for trans rights, using the issue to appeal to voters, particularly college students and their parents concerned about fairness in women’s sports. A United Nations report revealed that biological males have won around 900 medals in women’s competitions, causing many women athletes to lose opportunities. Trump’s order comes after a federal judge overturned the Biden administration’s expansion of Title IX to include transgender athletes, which had been challenged in court by several states. Trump’s previous actions, such as banning gender-neutral passports and limiting gender care, have faced legal challenges.
