President Trump has taken a firm stand on a pressing issue in sports by signing the “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports” executive order. Coincidentally, this happened on National Girls & Women in Sports Day, a fitting backdrop for a move intended to preserve fairness and safety for female athletes across the country. This order is aimed at preventing biological males from competing in women’s sports, underscoring that true equity in athletics means recognizing the biological differences that exist.
The executive order lays down a clear directive: funding for educational programs that compromise the integrity of women’s sports will be rescinded. This means no more federal dollars for institutions that either endorse or ignore the participation of male athletes in women’s leagues. The implications are clear: the rights of female athletes to compete in fair environments must be prioritized over any gender-bending policies that undermine their hard-fought gains. The message is loud and clear—it’s about time the sanctity of women’s sports is treated with the respect it deserves.
The NCAA issued a statement in response to Trump’s EO banning men from women’s sports. They say they will take steps to align NCAA policy with the new standards.

The response from the NCAA was swift, with President Charlie Baker acknowledging Trump’s order as a much-needed “clear, national standard.” It’s certainly a welcome change after years of the NCAA allowing biological males to dominate women’s sports. A notorious example being Lia Thomas, a man who, after languishing on the men’s team, decided to transition and then proceeded to break records that were once held by women. Not only did Thomas steal swimming titles, but the incidents in women’s locker rooms also raised serious questions about the respect and dignity owed to female athletes.
This reaction from the NCAA indicates an acknowledgment of the widespread disappointment and backlash they’ve faced for their previous policies. For years, females have been sidelined, and the NCAA’s participation in this ongoing farce must come to an end. For instance, during a championship event, Riley Gaines found herself directly affected when her tie with Thomas resulted in the trophy being awarded to the biological male simply because of policy absurdities. Such incidents highlight the chaos that ensues when common sense is abandoned for convoluted gender politics.
The NCAA now plans a review of the executive order and, hopefully, they will realign their policies accordingly. However, many remain skeptical, given the organization’s history of prioritizing progressive agendas over the basic rights of female athletes. One can only hope they won’t backtrack and instead uphold a standard that ensures women athletes regain their rightful recognition and opportunities. As this issue unfolds, it’s evident that it’s high time to restore sanity, fairness, and respect in the world of sports.
Revoking every record won by biological males in women’s sports seems a fitting ask. After all, if fairness is truly the goal, standing by while biological advantages are leveraged is not an option. Female athletes have fought hard for their place, and it’s time the system supports them instead of sidelining their achievements for the sake of a misguided agenda.
