President Donald Trump signed an executive order Wednesday banning transgender athletes from participating in women’s sports, fulfilling a promise that was at the center of his 2024 campaign.
The order will establish sweeping mandates on sex and sports policy and will direct federal agencies, including the Department of Justice, to interpret federal Title IX rules as prohibiting the participation of transgender girls and women in female sports categories, according to a White House document on the executive order obtained by ABC News.
Titled “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports,” the order will mandate immediate enforcement, including against schools and athletic associations that “deny women single-sex sports and single-sex locker rooms,” according to the document, and will direct state attorneys general to identify best practices for enforcing the mandate.

Surrounded by female athletes at the signing ceremony, Trump railed against what he called “transgender lunacy.”
“Under the Trump administration, we will defend the proud tradition of female athletes, and we will not allow men to beat up, injure and cheat our women and our girls,” Trump said.
