Trans Athletes Barred From Women's Sports
Hindustan Times Ranchi
|February 07, 2025
US President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Wednesday seeking to ban transgender athletes from participating in women's sports, in his latest move targeting transgender people since returning to office.
WASHINGTON:
"From now on women's sports will be only for women," Trump said before he signed the order at the White House, surrounded by dozens of children and female athletes.
"With this executive order the war on women's sports is over." Top Republicans including US House Speaker Mike Johnson and firebrand Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene were among those in the audience to watch the signing ceremony.
"We will defend the proud tradition of female athletes, and we will not allow men to beat up, injure and cheat our women and our girls," Trump added to applause and cheers.
Trump's order allows US government agencies to deny funds to schools that allow transgender athletes to compete on women's teams.

H2...Whoa: Where we stand on water
