The order, entitled "Keeping Men out of Women's Sports," would fulfill a pledge Trump made during the 2024 presidential campaign. It was first reported by the Wall Street Journal.

Trump's administration has taken aim broadly at transgender rights since taking office. Officials have already started taking steps to remove at least one transgender service member from the U.S. military, and have turned away transgender applicants, according to an emergency legal filing.
