The U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee has implemented new eligibility rules that prevent transgender women from competing in women's sports, in accordance with Executive Order 14201 signed by former President Trump. This order labels trans women as men and threatens federal funding for trans-inclusive schools and athletic associations. The committee's new policy emphasizes a commitment to maintaining fair competition for women and aligns with federal expectations, having held discussions with federal officials prior to the change. Previously, each sport's governing body had autonomy over trans participation rules.
The U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee has barred transgender women from competing in women's sports, complying with an executive order from Donald Trump.
The committee is committed to protecting opportunities for athletes participating in sport and will work with the International Olympic Committee to ensure that women have a fair and safe competition environment.
