Trump signs an order to ban transsexual women from women’s sports

US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order that does not allow women to compete in women’s categories.

The order provides guidelines, regulations and legal interpretations and will join the Ministry of Education to investigate high schools that are thought to be non -compliant.

Republicans say that this restores the justice of sports, but the intercession of LGBT and human rights organizations have described this move as discriminatory.

The order, which comes into force immediately, largely covers high school, universities and sports sports.

A number of sports ruling bodies, including swimming, athletics and golf, have banned transgender women from competing in the female category at an elite level if they have gone through male puberty.

According to White House officials who inform reporters on Wednesday morning, this last order enables the Ministry of Education to examine how schools apply Title IX, a US Act that prohibits gender discrimination in Federal Education funded.

An administrative officer said the executive order would cancel the position of the Biden administration, which in April last year it was said that the LGBT students would be protected by the federal law, although it does not give specific guidance for transsexual athletes.

“If you let men take women’s sports teams or invade your changing rooms, you will be investigated for Title IX violations and you will risk your federal funding,” Trump explained.

In addition, the White House plans to introduce sports bodies – such as the National Athletics Association of the College or NCAA – to come to the White House to meet women athletes and their parents to discuss concerns.

The employee who discussed the order said the United States would do everything they could to prevent transsexual athletes from competing against women in international Olympic Committees competitions held on US soil.

President Trump said the order would include the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.

He said he would refuse visas for Olympic athletes at the Olympic transgender, trying to visit the United States to compete at the LA games.

Before signing the executive order, Trump said that “the war against women’s sports was over,” said that during the Games in LA, “my administration will not stand and watch men beat and test female athletes.”

He said he would direct the secretary on the internal security “to refuse any visa apps made by men trying to enter deceptively to the United States while identifying themselves as female athletes …”

IOC turned for comment.

White House employees have identified policies as widely popular with Americans and are critical of providing “justice” for women in sports as well as for safety.

In a statement, the president of the human rights campaign Kelly Robinson said the order “exposes young people to harass and discrimination, by strengthening people to question the gender of children who do not answer a close look at how they should dress or to dress They look. “

“For so many students, the sport is to find somewhere to belong,” added G -Ja Robinson. “Not guerrilla policies that make life difficult for them.”

Less than 1% of the population over 13 years of age in the United States are transsexual, according to a study by Ucla Williams Institute, and the number of sports is less.

On the first day of Trump, on January 20, he signed a separate order calling for the Federal Government to officially define sex as a man or woman.
