In reaction to President Trump's executive order banning transgender athletes born male from participating in women's sports, the NCAA revised its participation policy. The new rules allow only athletes assigned female at birth to compete in women's sports, while those assigned male may still practice with teams. This order builds on Trump's previous actions affecting the transgender community, including restrictions on military service and gender-affirming medical care. Advocates and experts have criticized the policy as discriminatory, warning it undermines trans rights and the safety of individuals. Legal responses and broader ramifications ahead of the 2028 Olympics remain uncertain.
