President Donald Trump signed an executive order Wednesday that will block transgender athletes from competing in women’s sports.
With this latest executive order, Trump aims to address his campaign promise to “keep men out of women’s sports” and build on the policy he outlined on his first day in office, calling on the federal government to only recognize two sexes: male and female.
