In the first 100 days of his 2025 term, President Donald Trump signed the “No Men in Women’s Sports” Executive Order, banning transgender women and girls from female sports and mandating single-sex locker rooms and bathrooms in federally funded schools, aiming to protect fairness, privacy, and safety for cisgender females.

Backed by public support and legal precedents, the order addresses concerns about biological males’ physiological advantages and privacy violations, with enforcement through investigations and funding threats, targeting institutions like San Jose State University and influencing global events like the 2028 Olympics.
However, critics, including LGBTQ advocates, condemn it as discriminatory, arguing it marginalizes transgender students and exaggerates a minor issue, with legal challenges and state resistance from places like California signaling ongoing conflict.
This policy, part of Trump’s broader agenda, underscores a divisive debate balancing inclusion, fairness, and privacy, with significant cultural and legal implications.
