A huge win for women.
The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC) updated its policies to suggest it will comply with President Donald Trump’s “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports” executive order. The USOPC’s transgender eligibility policy page now includes a note that reads, “As of July 21, 2025, please refer to the USOPC athlete safety policy.” That policy does not lay out any clear guidelines regarding trans inclusion in women’s sports. However, it does include one paragraph that directly cites President Donald Trump’s “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports” executive order
Independent Council on Women’s Sports: The next critical step is for the USOPC to implement sex screening protocols. This will ensure that women are guaranteed equal, fair, and safe opportunities in athletic competition. ICONS will not rest until every girl, at every level, in every sport has access to fair competition and privacy in locker rooms. The U.S. has a chance to be a leader in standing up for the fair treatment of women around the world. Next stop: the International Olympic Committee. Women across the world deserve the opportunity to compete on a level playing field and to become champions in their own right (ICONS)

The U.S. Olympic Committee has announced it will comply with President Trump’s Executive Order banning men from competing in women’s sports.
It’s hard to applaud an organization for merely following the law, but nonetheless, this is a win.https://t.co/5gXR3CzZv4

The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC) updated its policies to suggest it will comply with President Donald Trump’s “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports” executive order.
The USOPC’s transgender eligibility policy page now includes a note that reads, “As of July 21, 2025, please refer to the USOPC athlete safety policy.”
That policy does not lay out any clear guidelines regarding trans inclusion in women’s sports. However, it does include one paragraph that directly cites President Donald Trump’s “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports” executive order.
“USOPC will continue to collaborate with various stakeholders with oversight responsibilities… to ensure that women have a fair and safe competition environment consistent with Executive Order 14201,” the policy reads.
“As a federally chartered organization, we have an obligation to comply with federal expectations,” USOPC CEO Sarah Hirshland and President Gene Sykes wrote in a letter. “Our revised policy emphasizes the importance of ensuring fair and safe competition environments for women. All National Governing Bodies are required to update their applicable policies in alignment.”
The U.S. will host the Summer Olympics in 2028.
USA Fencing was one of the first US Olympic organizations to publicly announce it has updated its gender eligibility policy to comply with the USOPC’s new guidance.
USA Fencing addressed the new policy in a public statement, claiming that the change came in response to new guidelines released by the USOPC.
“On July 18, 2025, the USOPC released new athlete-safety guidelines that all national governing bodies must follow under a federal executive order issued by the president earlier this year. In response, USA Fencing will implement the updated Transgender & Non-Binary Participation Policy that was first published and shared with the fencing community on April 15, 2025. This policy will be effective Aug. 1, 2025, for every sanctioned competition,” the statement reads.
“We remain firmly committed to respect, fairness and athlete well-being. This update, mandated by the USOPC, aligns our sport with current national standards while keeping community support at the forefront.”
USA Gymnastics told Fox News Digital in June that it was “assessing” its gender eligibility policy after deleting a webpage outlining its previous policy.
“In May, USAG removed its policy to assess compliance with the current legal landscape,” a spokesperson said.
