President Trump is expected to sign an executive order that would prevent transgender athletes from competing in women's sports. According to reports, the order will change the administration's interpretation of Title IX, a civil rights law that addresses sex discrimination at schools receiving federal funding. This move has been met with mixed reactions, with some supporting the decision and others criticizing it. The order may call on the Department of Education to use provisions of a 1972 law to redefine how Title IX is interpreted.

    1. How many transgender athletes are you aware of?
    1. This is about ensuring that women who've trained for years have a level playing field.
    1. With this executive order, the war on women's sports is over.
    2. We are putting every school receiving taxpayer dollars on notice: If you let men take over women's sports teams or invade your locker rooms, you will be investigated for violations of Title IX and risk your federal funding.
    3. Kamala Harris is for they/them. President Trump is for you.
    4. The NCAA is an organization made up of 1,100 colleges and universities in all 50 states that collectively enroll more than 530,000 student-athletes. We strongly believe that clear, consistent, and uniform eligibility standards would best serve today's student-athletes instead of a patchwork of conflicting state laws and court decisions.
    1. All women and girls, including transgender women and girls, should be welcome to play sports if they want, make decisions about their own bodies, be hired for jobs they are qualified for, and be free from lawless attacks by extremists in elected office.
    1. We've known this day was likely to occur for a long time, as this administration continues to pursue simple solutions to complex issues, often resulting in animus towards the most marginalized communities in our country.
    1. This policy is effective immediately and applies to all student-athletes regardless of previous eligibility reviews under the NCAA's prior transgender participation policy.
    1. For so many students, sports are about finding somewhere to belong.
    1. Clarity on this issue at the federal level would be very helpful.
    2. We strongly believe that clear, consistent, and uniform eligibility standards would best serve today's student-athletes instead of a patchwork of conflicting state laws and court decisions.
