President Donald Trump signed an executive order Wednesday prohibiting transgender women and girls from competing in female sports.
This is the fourth order directly targeting transgender people the president has signed since taking office Jan. 20. The measure, called the “No Men in Women’s Sports Executive Order,” is the fourth executive order targeting transgender people the president has signed since taking office Jan. 20.
"If you are coming into the country and you are claiming that you are a woman, but you are a male here to compete against women, we’re going to be reviewing that for fraud," one of the officials said. Former Harvard swimmer Schuyler Bailar, who made history in 2015 as the first openly transgender athlete to compete on a Division 1 men’s team, called the order “absolutely devastating” and “discriminatory.”
