President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order to keep biological men out of women’s sports, OutKick confirmed on Tuesday.
The executive order will come on National Girls and Women in Sports Day on Wednesday, which celebrates female athletes across women’s sports and those who are committed to providing equal access to sports for all females.
Trump made fairness in women’s sports a major campaign issue on his way to winning the presidential election over former Vice President Kamala Harris in November.
At the beginning of January, a federal judge blocked the Biden administration’s attempt to redefine sex in Title IX as “gender identity.” Then, Trump’s Department of Education told K-12 schools and higher learning institutions that Title IX protections would be recognized on the basis of biological sex.

Trump made clear in December he was going to end the “transgender lunacy.”
“And we will keep men out of women’s sports,” he said in part at a convention in Arizona. “And that will, likewise, be done on Day 1. Should I do Day 1, Day 2 or Day 3? How about Day 1? Under the Trump administration, it will be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders — male and female. It doesn’t sound too complicated. Does it?”
As he accepted the Republican nomination for president in July, he made his stance clear.
“We will not have men playing in women’s sports, that will end immediately,” he said at the time.
He also appeared on Barstool Sports’ “Bussin’ with the Boys” with former NFL players Taylor Lewan and Will Compton and called the notion of trans inclusion in women’s sports “ridiculous.”
President Donald Trump’s upcoming executive order to keep biological men out of women’s sports is a significant step towards ensuring fairness and equal opportunities for female athletes. This decision, set to be signed on National Girls and Women in Sports Day, highlights the importance of preserving the integrity of women’s sports and upholding the principles of Title IX.
Throughout his campaign and presidency, Trump has been vocal about his commitment to ending what he refers to as “transgender lunacy” and maintaining the distinction between male and female athletes in sports. By prioritizing biological sex over gender identity, Trump’s administration aims to protect the rights of female athletes and prevent any unfair advantages or disruptions in women’s sports.
With a federal judge already blocking the Biden administration’s attempt to redefine sex in Title IX, Trump’s executive order further solidifies his stance on this issue. By emphasizing that there are only two genders – male and female – Trump is taking a clear and unwavering stance on the importance of maintaining the integrity of women’s sports.
In his speeches and public appearances, Trump has consistently emphasized the need to keep men out of women’s sports and ensure a level playing field for all female athletes. By addressing this issue head-on, Trump is sending a strong message about the values and principles that guide his administration.
As the debate over transgender inclusion in women’s sports continues to spark nationwide discussions, Trump’s executive order is a decisive and impactful move towards protecting the rights of female athletes. By signing this order on National Girls and Women in Sports Day, Trump is reaffirming his commitment to supporting female athletes and promoting fairness in women’s sports.
