Trump’s First 100 Days Marked by Support for Female Athletes
Our friends at Alliance Defending Freedom continue to highlight how the Trump Administration is working to prevent women’s athletics from being erased in American.
ADF writes,
During President Donald Trump’s first 100 days, he took important steps to protect female athletes. Most notably, he signed an executive order in February 2025 aimed at keeping men out of women’s sports. Selina Soule, an ADF client and former high school track athlete, was unjustly forced to compete against male athletes during her athletic career. She joined another female athlete, Paula Scanlan, on Newsmax to discuss President Trump’s work during his first 100 days.

We have written repeatedly about how women’s athletics is in jeopardy.
Female swimmers, powerlifters, cyclists, sprinters, volleyball players, and others have seen their sports radically changed by men who claim to be women.
Fortunately, steps are being taken to protect women’s sports
In 2023, the North American Grappling Association clarified its competition policy, saying biological males must compete against other men, regardless of their gender identity.
Last year year the professional golf league NXXT Golf announced that only biological females would be eligible to participate in the NXXT Women’s Pro Tour.
And the NAIA changed its collegiate sports policy to prevent male athletes from competing in women’s collegiate sports.
Letting men compete in women’s sports is unfair and reverses 50 years of advancements for women. In some cases it can even be dangerous.
In 2021 Arkansas passed Act 461 by Sen. Missy Irvin (R — Mountain View) and Rep. Sonia Barker (R — Smackover) to prevent male athletes from competing against girls in women’s athletics at school. This good law is in full effect, protecting fairness in women’s sports in Arkansas.
We appreciate our lawmakers who work hard to protect fairness in women’s sports both in Arkansas and across the country.
