Trump declares war: Trans athletes banned from women's sports!

US President Donald Trump has signed a controversial decree banning trans athletes from participating in women's and girls' sports. This regulation is particularly aimed at public schools and universities in the USA. Trump claimed the move would end the "war on women's sports," but critics fear such measures could further deepen societal divisions Kosmo.at reported. Educational institutions that allow trans women to participate in women's teams risk losing federal funding, which is essential to the sports system in the United States.

Consequences and resistance

The decree, which Trump described as a final step against the "militant transgender ideology" of the "radical left," also imposes sanctions on schools that allow transgender people access to locker rooms that do not correspond to their gender assigned at birth. A spokeswoman for the White House announced that the US Olympic Committee should no longer allow “men in women’s sports” in the future, which is becoming particularly explosive ahead of the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles ZDF.de reported. This order joins a series of actions by the Trump administration that has already restricted the rights of transgender people in the military.

Opponents of the decree argue that there is a lack of conclusive evidence showing that trans athletes dominate women's sports. Many sports organizations have already developed regulations that take factors such as hormone levels into account. Critics also warn about the potential negative impact on the mental health of transgender youth and fear that such policy decisions are more likely to lead to further polarization rather than finding equitable solutions for sports.
