US President Donald Trump has signed an executive thing that prevents sexually transformed women from competing in female sport groups.
The matter provides legal guidance, regulations and interpretations, and will recruit the Ministry of Education to investigate secondary schools that are believed to be incompatible.
Republicans say it is restoring fairness to sport, but gay human rights and human rights organizations have described this step as discriminatory.
The system, which immediately enters into force, largely covers secondary schools, universities and popular sports.
A number of sports ruling bodies, including swimming, athletics and golfs, banned sexually transformed women in the elite class competition if they passed by male adulthood.
According to White House officials who briefed journalists on Wednesday morning, this last matter enables the Ministry of Education to investigate how schools implement the ninth title, an American law prohibiting sexual discrimination in education programs funded by the federal government.
The administration official said that the executive order would reflect the position of the Biden administration, which said in April last year that gay students will be protected under federal law, although he had not provided specific guidelines about sexually transformed athletes.
“If you allow men to control women's sports teams or invade your treasury rooms, violations of the ninth club will be investigated and risk your Federal financing,” Trump explained.
In addition, the White House plans to bring sports bodies – such as the National Association of Players, or NCAA – to come to the White House to meet mathematics and their parents to discuss concerns.
The official, who discussed the matter, said that the United States will do everything in its power to prevent sexually transformed athletes from competing with females in the international Olympic Committee competitions held on American soil.
President Trump has determined that it would include the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
He said he would deny the visas of the transgender Olympic athletes who are trying to visit the United States to compete in Los Angeles games.
Before signing the executive order, Trump announced that “the war on women's sports has ended,” saying that during the Los Angeles games, my administration will not stand by men and move from female sports. “
He said that he will direct the Minister of Internal Security “to reject any visa requests submitted by men who are trying to enter the United States fraud while identifying themselves as women's athletes …”
IOC was contacted to comment.
White House officials have described policies as very popular with Americans, and it is important to ensure “fairness” for women in sport, as well as safety.
In a statement, the head of human rights campaign, Kelly Robinson, said that the matter “exposes young people to harassment and discrimination, and encourages people to question the gender of children who are not proportional to a narrow vision about how they are supposed to wear or look at them.”
“For many students, sport revolves around finding a place to belong,” added Ms. Robinson. “Not partisan policies make life more difficult for them.”
Less than 1 % of the population over 13 years old in the United States are transgender, according to a study conducted by the Ucla Williams, and the sporting number is smaller.
On the first day of Trump in his post on January 20, he signed a separate matter calling on the federal government to officially define sex as male or female.
