Trump’s First 100 Days Marked by Support for Female Athletes

LGBT,

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.

Biological Male Takes First Place in Girls’ High School Track Meet

Transgender, ,

Last weekend, a biological male allegedly took first place in the Women’s 200 Meter race at a high school track meet in Pennsylvania.

Apparently, the runner in question has competed in multiple athletic events this year. The Washington Times wrote about him in February, saying,

An 18-year-old male-born student who identifies as female is scheduled to compete Sunday in the girls’ indoor track-and-field event, despite President Trump’s executive order on single-sex sports and a gender-policy update approved last week by the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association.

Ron Lopresti, president of the Pennsylvania Track and Field Coaches Association, which sponsors the championships, said he was told that the PIAA’s policy changes really didn’t change much when it comes to transgender athletes.

As the article notes, earlier this year President Trump issued an executive order titled “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports.” The order clarifies that Title IX protects women and girls from being forced to compete against men. It also protects women’s right to privacy in locker rooms, showers, changing areas, and similar facilities, and it directs federal officials to withdraw funding from educational programs that “deprive women and girls of fair athletic opportunities.”

We have written time and again about how women’s athletics is at risk of being erased in America.

Female cyclists, swimmers, powerlifters, sprinters, volleyball players, and others have seen their sports radically changed by men who claim to be women.

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 protects fairness in women’s sports in Arkansas.

In 2023 Arkansas lawmakers took additional action by passing Act 317 by Rep. Mary Bentley (R – Perryville) and Sen. Dan Sullivan (R – Jonesboro) to protect privacy in public school locker rooms, showers, restrooms, changing areas, and similar facilities by requiring public schools to designate these facilities for “male” or “female” use.

And this year legislators passed Act 955 by Sen. Blake Johnson (R — Corning) and Rep. Mary Bentley (R — Perryville) protecting physical privacy and safety of Arkansans in showers, locker rooms, changing rooms, restrooms, and sleeping quarters in government buildings, jails, and in shelters for victims of domestic violence.

Taken together, all of these good laws protect fairness in women’s sports and preserve physical privacy and safety across Arkansas.

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. We appreciate our policymakers who work hard to protect fairness in women’s sports in Arkansas and across the country.

Planned Parenthood Offers Teens Cross-Sex Hormones at First Visit

LGBT, Transgender, ,

Phone call recordings by Live Action show Planned Parenthood facilities in multiple states are willing to prescribe cross-sex hormones to teens — sometimes at their first appointment.

Live Action reports,

Staff at seven of the 33 facilities contacted confirmed they would prescribe cross-sex hormones at the first appointment, even virtually. A video highlighting the undercover calls shows that at the Planned Parenthood in Mankato, Minnesota, staff were willing to prescribe hormones to the patient at the end of a single virtual visit. . . .

At five of the facilities, staff said the 16-year-old girl did not need proof of having undergone therapy, mental health clearance, or prior documentation as part of a mental health assessment before Planned Parenthood would prescribe cross-sex hormones.

Besides being the nation’s leading abortionist, Planned Parenthood has also become a major provider of gender-transition drugs and surgeries. Planned Parenthood’s facilities in Arkansas both advertise “gender-affirming care services” on their websites, offered in-person or via telemedicine.

While Planned Parenthood continues to promote sex-change procedures, medical experts are sounding the alarm about how dangerous these procedures can be — especially for children.

Public health officials in the U.S. and the U.K. have released stunning rebukes of the so-called “gender affirming care” Planned Parenthood and others offer.

Last year The British Medical Journal wrote that ”the advocacy and clinical practice for medical treatment of gender dysphoria [through puberty blockers, hormones, and surgery] had moved ahead of the evidence—a recipe for harm.”

These procedures can leave children sterilized and scarred for life, and doctors don’t know the long-term consequences they may have for children. That is why to date about half the states in the U.S. have passed laws protecting children from sex-change surgeries.

In 2021, Arkansas lawmakers overwhelmingly passed the Save Adolescents From Experimentation (SAFE) Act.

The SAFE Act is a good law that prevents doctors in Arkansas from performing sex-change surgeries on children or giving them puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones.

Unfortunately, the SAFE Act is tied up in court, and a federal judge in Little Rock has blocked the state from enforcing it for now. However, we believe our courts ultimately will recognize that the SAFE Act is a good law and uphold it as constitutional.
