Keeping Men Out of Women's Sports
AI Summary:
This is a policy document: an executive order establishing policy regarding transgender athletes participating in women's sports.
This regulation provides comprehensive guidance for preventing transgender women from competing in women's sports across multiple federal agencies and educational institutions. The order directs the Secretary of Education to protect "all-female athletic opportunities" by enforcing Title IX, requiring educational institutions to reserve women's sports categories exclusively for biological females. It instructs the Department of Justice to support enforcement, mandates reviews of federal grants to educational programs, and calls for athletic organizations to develop policies prioritizing female athletes' safety and fairness. The order also extends to international sports diplomacy, with the Secretary of State directed to promote sex-based rather than gender identity-based sports categories, including potentially influencing the International Olympic Committee's standards. The regulation further instructs the Departments of State and Homeland Security to review and potentially restrict entry of transgender athletes seeking to compete in women's sports. The executive order emphasizes biological distinctions between males and females as its foundational principle and aims to prevent what it characterizes as unfair competitive advantages for transgender women in women's sports.
