The message was clear — ”The war on women’s sports is over.”
Those words were spoken by President Donald Trump Wednesday when he signed what is being called the “No Men in Women’s Sports” executive order, Fox News reported.
The order delivers on one of Trump’s campaign promises to keep biological men out of girls’ and women’s sports.
The day holds special significance as it was National Girls and Women in Sports Day.
“This doesn’t have to be long. It’s all about common sense,” Trump said, adding, “Women’s sports will be only for women.”
“The war on women’s sports is over,” he added.
Trump was joined 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, has long been a proponent for women’s sports during the 2022 NCAA Championships with Lia Thomas, a transgender athlete.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said before the signing the executive order” 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 said. “The president will be signing an executive order, keeping men out of women’s sports to defend the safety of athletes, protect competitive integrity, and uphold the promise of Title IX.”
“This common-sense action from President Trump ends the disgusting betrayal of women and girls by the previous administration, who for years catered to radical activists who wanted biological males to be treated as women in workplaces, showers, competitive sports, prisons, and even rape shelters. Gender ideology insanity is over,” she added.
