The message was clear â âThe war on womenâs sports is over.âÂ
Those words were spoken by President Donald Trump Wednesday when he signed what is being called the âNo Men in Womenâs Sportsâ executive order, Fox News reported.
The order delivers on one of Trumpâs campaign promises to keep biological men out of girlsâ and womenâs sports.
The day holds special significance as it was National Girls and Women in Sports Day.
âThis doesnât have to be long. Itâs all about common sense,â Trump said, adding âwomenâs sports will be only for women.â
âThe war on womenâs sports is over,â 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 OutKickâs âGaines for Girlsâ podcast, has long been a proponent for womenâs sports during the 2022 NCAA Championships with Lia Thomas, a transgender athlete.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said before the signing the executive orderâupholds the promise of Title IX.â
âPresident Trump pledged to restore common sense to our country and heâs continuing to deliver on that with an executive order that he will sign later today,â she said. âThe president will be signing an executive order, keeping men out of womenâs sports to defend the safety of athletes, protect competitive integrity and uphold the promise of Title IX.â
âThis 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,â she added.
