Donald Trump’s transgender policy has generated debate as it will likely have damaging effect on athletes.
US President Donald Trump is leading the inevitable transformation in women’s sports, taking decisive action to restore fairness and integrity to female athletic competition.
Trump’s Department of Education has demanded the NCAA strip transgender athletes any women’s titles or records they won after transitioning, according to a report by the Daily Mail.
“We cannot undo the damage inflicted by years of policies and practices that have denied the material reality of sex and conflated that immutable characteristic with a subjective, fluid concept of ‘identity’ by prospectively returning to objective, factual sex classifications in athletics,” the department’s attorney wrote in its letter, obtained exclusively.
“But we can recognize the harms done and injustices committed by such misguided policies and reversing their effects will restore a genuine commitment to girls’ and women’s equality of opportunity in athletic competition across the United States.”

The NCAA is made up of 1,100 colleges and 530,000 student athletes, of which, fewer than 10 are transgender, Baker told a Senate committee recently.
