The executive order signed by President Donald Trump titled “No Men in Women’s Sports” has triggered major disruption in athletics by prohibiting transgender women and girls from female sports. Two transgender students from New Hampshire filed legal challenges against the official order which extends Title IX’s authority after its scope-change.
The Education Department under leadership of former WWE executive Linda McMahon fast-tracked investigations against schools and sports organizations to erode all transgender athlete achievements along with their records. Federal agencies are reviewing San Jose State University as well as the University of Pennsylvania to assess their participation of transgender athletes presently and in the past.
The decision gained positive reactions from conservative members who aimed to establish equality in women’s sports but civil rights associations categorized it as a weakening of transgender rights protection. The ACLU of New Hampshire asserts that the directive breaks equal protection regulations because transgender student athletes have the right to equal athletic participation. 
International sports organizations beyond the United States have adopted reactions to this situation. The International Boxing Association uses World Athletics as it implements new restrictions on female athletes with elevated testosterone.
Schools face a mounting financial threat because of possible termination of federal funding when they do not comply with gender inclusivity standards. The NCAA continues to make policy adjustments yet court decisions about transgender athlete participation in sports competitions will be revealed during the upcoming months.
