Donald Trump signed a sweeping executive order on Wednesday to force schools and athletic organizations to ban transgender girls and women from competing in women’s sports.
The order — which falsely categorizes trans women as “men” — fulfills the president’s campaign promise to end “the dangerous and unfair participation of men in women’s sports” by directing federal law enforcement agencies to take “immediate action” against schools and associations that “deny women single-sex sports and single-sex locker rooms,” according to a White House document shared with The Independent.
