Former President Donald Trump underscored the significance of his executive order prohibiting biological males from competing in women's sports during a recent interview on Fox News. He discussed this in the context of his broader goal of uniting the nation, suggesting that achieving substantial success is the key to bridging divides.
Trump expressed his desire for national unity, stating that while it's a challenging objective, significant achievements will pave the way for it. He then shifted focus to the executive order, reiterating its purpose of preventing biological men from competing against women in sports, deeming it an illogical practice.
The executive order, signed on National Girls and Women’s Sports Day, was accompanied by the presence of several female athletes. Following the signing, the NCAA revised its transgender participation policy, explicitly stating that biological males are ineligible to compete on women's teams. This replaced the previous policy from 2010, which permitted biological males to participate in women's sports after a year of testosterone suppression therapy.
