President Donald Trump added to his ever-expanding roster of executive actions last week when he signed an order titled “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports,” which does exactly what it says on the box: It keeps men out of women’s sports.
“It is the policy of the United States to rescind all funds from educational programs that deprive women and girls of fair athletic opportunities, which results in the endangerment, humiliation, and silencing of women and girls and deprives them of privacy,” the order states. “It shall also be the policy of the United States to oppose male competitive participation in women’s sports more broadly, as a matter of safety, fairness, dignity, and truth.”
