Trump signs 'No Men in Women's Sports' executive order
Former national champion gymnast and XX-XY Athletics CEO Jennifer Sey expresses support for President Donald Trump's upcoming executive order that will block transgender athletes from competing in women's sports.
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 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 of women's sports after sharing her experience in the 2022 NCAA Championships with Lia Thomas.
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.
