Trump to Sign 'Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports' Order Today, Banning Transgender Athletes

President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order titled 'Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports' at 3 p.m. ET on Wednesday, effectively banning transgender girls and women from participating in female sports events in schools and colleges. The move fulfills one of his campaign promises and is part of a series of actions by his administration affecting LGBTQ rights. The executive order is expected to direct the Department of Justice to enforce the ban and warns universities that non-compliance could result in loss of federal funding or legal action. The order is expected to go into effect immediately upon signing. The signing coincides with National Girls and Women in Sports Day.
