Holding a signing ceremony at the White House, Trump signed the executive order he promised during the election campaign to ban transgender women athletes from women's sports competitions. Claiming that "God created only two genders," Trump stated that transgender women will now only be able to compete in the "men's competitions where they belong."
With the executive order he signed, Trump implemented a regulation prohibiting transgender athletes from participating in women's sports competitions. With the decree, transgender women have been banned from all women's competitions across the US.
In his speech at the ceremony, Trump emphasized that there are two genders biologically, 'male' and 'female,' that they do not accept definitions outside of this, and that transgender athletes have no place in women's sports competitions.
While signing the decree, Trump used the following expressions:
"How can you forget how a male boxer at last year's Paris Olympics stole a gold medal after brutally treating his female opponent, causing her to be defeated in 46 seconds? All of this ends today, because with this executive order, the war on women's sports is over."
The decree signed by Trump mandates that for all educational institutions receiving federal funding, if they allow transgender athletes to participate in women's sports competitions, said funding will be cut.
