President Donald Trump on Wednesday signed an executive order aimed at preventing transgender women from participating in women’s sports.
“You’ve been waiting a long time for this. So have I,” the president told invited guests during a signing ceremony at the White House, adding that any entity deemed in violation of his order could lose federal funding. “It’s just all about common sense.”
“We will not allow men [to] beat up, injure and cheat our women and girls. From now on, women’s sports will be only for women,” Trump said, before later adding, “All of that ends today because, with this executive order, the war on women’s sports is over.”
