Trump signed an executive order to prevent people who were biologically assigned male at birth from participating in women's or girls' sporting events.

President Trump signed an executive order on Wednesday aimed at prohibiting transgender women and girls from competing in women’s sports, directing agencies to withdraw federal funding for any schools that refused to comply. “From now on, women’s sports will be only for women,” he said in the East Room of the White House before signing the order.

He says the move, which covers non-elite levels, restores fairness but human rights advocates have condemned it.
