Trump signs executive order banning trans athletes from women’s sports

Order to reinterpret anti-discrimination rules is latest move by Trump administration to roll back trans rights

Donald Trump signed an executive order on Wednesday banning transgender athletes from participating in women's sports, the latest in a slew of moves rolling back the rights of trans people.

The order establishes stricter mandates on sports and gender policy, directing federal agencies, including the Department of Justice, to interpret federal Title IX rules as the prohibition of transgender girls and women from participating in any female sports categories.
