TOWNHALL | Published February 6, 2025
Wednesday marks the 39th annual National Girls & Women in Sports Day (NGWSD).
President Donald Trump commemorated this day by signing an executive order banning so-called “transgenders” from women’s sports.
Going forward, any school that allows men to compete against women or use their locker rooms will lose federal funding under Title IX.
For anyone who thinks this is rare, it is not. Townhall covered how a shocking United Nations report titled “Violence against women and girls in sports” showed that female athletes have lost nearly 900 medals to so-called “transgender” athletes.
The order, titled “No Men in Women’s Sports,” mandates that Title IX be interpreted as prohibiting the participation of transgender girls and women in female sports. This is a far cry from the Biden administration’s approach to Title IX.
“From now on, women’s sports will be only for women,” Trump said when he signed the order. “The war on women’s sports is over.”
“America rejects transgender lunacy,” he added.
Female athletes took to X to celebrate this executive order.
Olympic swimmer Sharron Davies pointed out that it’s important that Trump banned “males” from women’s sports.
One of Will “Lia” Thomas’ former teammates, Paula Scanlan, was present when Trump signed the order.

FOX NEWS | Published February 6, 2025
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said before the order was signed that ‘gender ideology insanity is over’
President Donald Trump on Wednesday signed the “No Men in Women’s Sports” executive order, fulfilling one of his major campaign promises of keeping biological men out of girls and women’s sports.
Trump signed the executive order on National Girls and Women in Sports Day, which celebrates female athletes in women’s sports and those who are committed to providing equal access to sports for all females.
“This doesn’t have to be long. It’s all about common sense,” Trump said before signing the order, adding that “women’s sports will be only for women.”
Trump declared, “The war on women’s sports is over.”
Trump was joined in the East Room of the White House in Washington, D.C., by Independent Women ambassadors Riley Gaines, Payton McNabb, Paula Scanlan, Sia Liilii, Lauren Miller, Kim Russell, Kaitlynn Wheeler, Linnea Saltz and Lily Mullens.
Gaines, who hosts OutKick’s “Gaines for Girls” podcast, was among the champions of fairness in women’s sports after sharing her experience in the 2022 NCAA Championships with Lia Thomas.
Mark Trammell, the executive director at the Center for American Liberty, weighed in on Trump’s executive order.
“President Trump’s executive order is a major victory for women and girls, reaffirming the fundamental truth that fairness in sports depends on biological reality,” Trammell said in a statement to Fox News Digital. “This action protects female athletes from being sidelined by policies that erase sex-based distinctions, ensuring that hard-earned equal opportunities remain intact.
While this order is a crucial step forward, lasting protections require Congress to act and enshrine these safeguards into law. The Biden Administration tried to dismantle Title IX, redefining sex to erase protections for women and girls in sports — this order rights that wrong and restores fairness and common sense.”
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a briefing before Trump signed the executive order that it “upholds the promise of Title IX.”
“President Trump pledged to restore common sense to our country and he’s continuing to deliver on that with an executive order that he will sign later today,” she added. “The president will be signing an executive order, keeping men out of women’s sports to defend the safety of athletes, protect competitive integrity and uphold the promise of Title IX.
