The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee has announced a measure that effectively prohibits transgender women from participating in women's sports. This action aligns with President Trump’s executive order, Keeping Men Out of Women's Sports, signed in February. The order stipulates that federal funding may be revoked from organizations permitting transgender participation in women's sports. This policy change was briefly updated on the USOPC's website and confirmed through correspondence with national governing bodies, which are expected to adhere to the USOPC's directive.
