NCAA Bans Men From Women’s Sports Following Trump’s Executive Order
The NCAA policy still allows biological men who identify as transgender to participate in women’s sports practices and receive benefits such as medical care during practice.

The Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2025 would deny federal funding to any educational institution that permits biological males in female athletics.
The new rules, which were scheduled to go into effect on Aug. 1 nationwide, in part redefine the prohibition on sex discrimination for schools and education programs that receive federal funding — including K-12 schools and colleges and universities.
The regulation, which is set to go into effect Aug. 1, would reinterpret Title IX’s prohibition on sex discrimination to include a new prohibition on discriminating against a person’s ‘gender identity.’
Alliance Defending Freedom Legal Counsel Rachel Rouleau expressed concerns that the Biden administration’s new definition would negatively impact the rights of girls and women in education institutions.
The 4th Circuit Court said that the lower court, which had upheld the West Virginia law in a January ruling, erred by ruling to allow the law that prohibits biological males from competing in female sports to go into effect.
Title IX was passed as a component of the federal Education Amendments of 1972 and signed into law by President Richard Nixon. It has been a major factor in U.S. education law and policy for decades.
Through the lawsuit, the athletes hope ‘to secure for future generations of women the promise of Title IX.’
Led by Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., and signed by 18 other senators, the comment issued in the form of a Sept. 12 letter celebrates the administration’s reinterpretation of Title IX.
Today marks the end of the public-comment period after hundreds of thousands of comments disappeared from the record this weekend.
