President Trump signed an executive order regarding transgender athletes.

The ‘Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports’ order intends to ban trans athletes from participating in girls’ and womens’ sports.

It gives federal agencies freedom to ensure organizations that receive federal funding bide by ‘Title IX.’

For example, it authorizes the Education Department to penalize schools that allow transgender athletes to compete, citing noncompliance with Title IX, which prohibits sexual discrimination in schools.

Any school found in violation could potentially be ineligible for federal funding.

“With this executive order, the war on women’s sports is over,” Trump said.
