US President Donald Trump is anticipated to sign an executive order on Wednesday prohibiting transgender athletes from playing women’s sports, sources have confirmed.

According to a White House source, the order will set broad guidelines for sex and sports policy and will instruct federal agencies, including the Department of Justice, to interpret federal Title IX regulations as forbidding transgender women and girls from participating in female sports.

The order with the title, “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports,” will ensure immediate enforcement against all schools and athletic associations that “deny women single-sex sports and single-sex locker rooms”. (Nigerian Tribune)
