Trump's Decree on Transgender Women in Women's Sports
President Donald Trump has signed a decree aimed at excluding transgender women from women's sports competitions. Trump stated, "With this decree, the war on women's sports is over," before signing the document in the presence of female athletes. The decree primarily targets sports competitions in American schools, instructing government organizations to stop allocating funds to schools that do not comply.
During the election campaign, Trump frequently criticized transgender athletes, arguing that they have physical advantages that make competitions unfair. Opponents of transgender inclusion in women's sports generally believe that transgender athletes have unfair physical advantages.
Advocacy groups for transgender individuals disagree with the Republican decree, asserting that people should not be excluded based on their gender identity.
