President Donald Trump is set to sign an executive order today aimed at excluding transgender women from participating in women's sports. The move marks a significant change in federal policy regarding transgender rights, recalling Trump's campaign promises to limit transgender inclusivity in athletics.

This executive order is scheduled to coincide with National Girls and Women in Sports Day, reflecting Trump's focus on preserving perceived fairness in women's athletics. The order revisits how Trump's administration will interpret Title IX, particularly its role in enforcing gender equity in sports.

Criticism arises as the policy could drastically influence transgender rights, with advocates highlighting the minimal presence of transgender athletes in sports as an issue. The debate underscores broader societal conflicts surrounding transgender participation, controversial sports engagement, and gender rights.
