Summer Olympics in LA will not be permitted to allow men to compete in women's sports: White House

Ahead of President Donald Trump’s signing of an executive order protecting women’s sports from biological male competitors, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was asked about the upcoming 2028 Olympics in LA and whether biological males would still be allowed to compete in women’s categories.

"How is today's executive order going to impact the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, for example, would a man who thinks that he's a transgender woman be allowed to compete as a female on US soil?" Daily Wire White House correspondent Mary Margaret Olohan asked.

Leavitt said that Trump "does expect the Olympic Committee and the NCAA to no longer allow men to compete in women's sports." This means an end to seeing males competing in track and field events, wrestling, and other events. Women will no longer be pushed out of competition to appease men who believe themselves to be women.

"I think the President, with the signing of his pen, starts a very public pressure campaign on these organizations to do the right thing for women and for girls across the country," she continued. "Again, this is an incredibly popular position. There have been many notable female athletes who have had the courage to speak out against some very powerful institutions in this country. They deserve to have a voice and a say. The President is bringing their voice to the highest level at the White House this afternoon, and he expects these organizations to comply with this federal executive order that he'll be signing today."

On day one of his new administration, Trump signed an executive order stating that "it is the policy of the United States to recognize two sexes, male and female. These sexes are not changeable and are grounded in fundamental and incontrovertible reality." He also told the World Economic Forum in his first days, "And I’ve made it official — an official policy of the United States that there are only two genders, male and female, and we will have no men participating in women’s sports, and transgender operations, which became the rage, will occur very rarely." Keeping "men out of women’s sports" was among the list of priorities on the Republican National Committee’s 2024 platform.
