Trans women were classified as men when they were born, but they are people who live with a female identity.
According to the Wall Street Journal (WSJ), Bloomberg, and Reuters on the 4th (local time), Representative Nancy Mace (South Carolina, Republican) said in a statement that President Trump will sign an executive order titled 'Exclusion of Men from Women's Sports' on the 5th. The U.S. House of Representatives passed the 「Sports Women and Girls Protection Act」 on the 14th of last month, which prohibits trans women from participating in women's sports, and is set to vote in the Senate.
Mace did not elaborate on the executive order in a statement, but the federal government has been talking about withholding funding to schools that allow trans female athletes to join female sports teams.
During the presidential election, President Trump has vowed to abolish transgender protection measures and exclude trans women from women's sports. He has argued on the campaign trail that transgender athletes enjoy an unfair advantage over their competitors and has said they will cut federal funding for schools that spread racial, sexual and political content that is deemed inappropriate by conservatives.
Meanwhile, President Trump signed an executive order last month that officially recognized only two genders: men and women. In this regard, progressive groups such as LGBTQ organizations are protesting.
