Trump Signs Order Banning Trans Women and Girls from School Sports

HeadlineFeb 06, 2025

President Trump on Wednesday signed an executive order to bar transgender students from school sports. The so-called “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports” order directs federal agencies to withhold funding for schools that do not comply. This came as at least 15 attorneys general from Democratic-led states issued a joint statement vowing to protect gender-affirming care, calling Trump’s order to rescind federal funding for the lifesaving treatments “wrong on the science and the law.”
