In a major victory for women’s sports and biological fairness, the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC) has announced that men who claim to be women will no longer be allowed to compete in Olympic women’s categories—a direct result of President Donald Trump’s Executive Order 14201 issued in February.
The new eligibility policy, published Monday under the USOPC Athlete Safety Policy, stops short of using the term “transgender,” but the implications are clear: biological males are now barred from competing against women in Olympic sports.
“As a federally chartered organization, we have an obligation to comply with federal expectations,” the committee said in a statement, referencing the president’s order.
Trump’s Executive Order Restores Title IX Protections
President Trump’s Executive Order 14201 was clear: women and girls are entitled to fair, safe, and dignified competition, free from the intrusion of male athletes in female spaces.
“This is demeaning, unfair, and dangerous to women and girls,” the order stated.
“It shall be the policy of the United States to oppose male competitive participation in women’s sports more broadly.”Subscribe to Our Free Newsletter
