Trump Nears Signing Executive Order Banning Transgender Women from Female Sports Competitions

Set to Sign Executive Order on the Afternoon of the 5th
Trump Rallies Supporters with Anti-Transgender Stance
NCAA States "We Will Follow Federal Law"

Donald Trump, President of the United States, is reportedly set to sign an executive order banning transgender women from participating in women's sports, according to the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) on the 4th (local time). In the U.S., the participation of transgender women in women's sports has been a controversial issue in recent years, sharply dividing conservative and progressive camps.

WSJ cited White House officials and sources familiar with the matter, reporting that President Trump will sign an executive order titled "Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports" on the 5th. This is based on an early executive order from his inauguration that abolished the U.S. 'DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion)' policies, asserting recognition of only two sexes: male and female.

Regarding this, Republican Representative Nancy Mace (South Carolina) stated, "This executive order restores fairness and protects the rights of female athletes who have dedicated their lives to competing at the highest level," emphasizing that the signing will take place on the "39th National Women’s Sports Day."

Throughout the presidential campaign, President Trump used the transgender agenda to rally his supporters. The Trump campaign made "anti-transgender" a core campaign theme, repeatedly emphasizing that there are only two genders. During the campaign, amid gender controversies, he sparked controversy by saying to Iman? Khalif (Algeria), who won a gold medal in women's boxing at the Paris Olympics, "I exclude men from women's sports!"

Immediately after winning the election, in his victory speech, President Trump openly expressed his "anti-transgender" stance, stating, "Men (transgender women) will not be allowed to compete in women's sports."

The U.S. House of Representatives is also showing support for President Trump's "anti-transgender" actions. Led by the Republican Party, the House passed a bill on the 14th of last month (local time) to block transgender women from participating in women's sports. However, the Senate currently does not have the 60 seats required to overcome the Democratic filibuster.

If this executive order is enacted, all educational institutions receiving federal funding will immediately be affected. Twenty-seven states currently restrict transgender women from participating in school sports, while fourteen states allow transgender women to compete in sports.

The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) has stated that it will promptly change its rules once the executive order is announced. The NCAA includes 1,100 colleges and 500,000 athletes. Charlie Baker, NCAA president, expressed at a hearing last December, "We are a national organization and follow federal law," indicating a commitment to faithfully implement government guidelines.
