Although many pools show acceptance for LGBT Q+ Rights, usually has increased in the last 20 years, mostly US women are less supportive of transgender girls and women participating in sports. A Gallup survey of May 2023 found that 69 % of Americans believe that transgender people should play in teams that are assigned to birth at birth.

This order is the latest move that has targeted the transgender community since returning to the White House last month.
What to know?
Although this order is focused on preventing transgender women from participating in women’s sports, it does not refer to transgender men, who participate in men’s sports and are probably not affected by the Mandet mandate.
The order also does not pay attention to whether transgender women can participate in sports in men’s teams – just because they cannot participate in women’s teams.
“The Secretary of State and the Secretary of Homeland will review the security and as needed, the policies allowing admission to men in the United States that are trying to participate in women’s sports, and to this extent allowed. Will issue guidance with the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 USC 1182 (A) (C) (i) of Section 212 (A) (6) (C) (I), of law Source, “The order is written.
It continues, “The Secretary of State will use all the appropriate and available steps to see that the International Olympic Committee amends the standards that rule the Olympic Games programs to promote the best interests of women’s athletes. The events of the sports are determined by the gender identification or testosterone. “
The White House has not said whether it plans to issue more guidance about transgender men. But the problem of transgender men in sports has not focused the same as transgender women.
Transgender men who have participated in the Olympics have also been men, such as Philippine Boxer Hergie Basiden.
Trump has issued several orders on transgender affairs, including one who announces only two genders, “men and women” have been recognized by the federal government.
Another order indicates the gender -verifying care of the minor. Federal agencies have also removed the language from their web pages about the transgender community.
What are people saying
Trump, in order: “In recent years, many educational institutions and athletic associations have allowed men to compete in women’s sports. It is unfair, unfair and dangerous for women and girls, and women and girls in competitive sports. Refuses the equal opportunity to participate and increase them. “
Glad, in a statement: “The latest false and non -controversial paper of this administration pleases a whole group of Americans, but it does not change the law or the facts. All women and girls, including transgender women and girls, should welcome to play games if they If you want to, make their own bodies, for which they are eligible, and are free from lawlessness by elected officials.
What happens next
