Summary
Trump is expected to sign an executive order barring transgender women and girls from competing on sports teams matching their gender identity.
Rep. Nancy Mace will stand alongside Trump as he signs the order, titled “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports.” Legal experts question its enforceability without changes to Title IX or court rulings.
The move follows years of Republican efforts to restrict trans rights, contrasting with Biden’s attempts to expand protections.
Executive orders are not laws, so they can’t actual impact anything not controlled by executive policy unless some bigots or cowards proactively obey (which happened with hospitals already). Your local sports league doesn’t need to check with the president about who they let play. Even colleges, which receive more federal money, aren’t bound by whatever the president feels like.
