Donald Trump has signed an executive order stripping federal funding from schools that allow transgender girls and women, whose sex at birth was male, to participate in female sports events in schools and colleges.
The move honours a key campaign promise, but even before he signed it, the National Collegiate Athletic Association indicated that it would move rapidly to change its rules ahead of the order that will affect every one of its 1,100 member schools.
Mr Trump’s latest order comes as government agencies move with lightning speed to implement his directives to roll back transgender rights, prompting a series of lawsuits unfolding by the day.
