One State Is Defying Trump's Executive Order Banning Men From Women's Sports

This week, Townhall covered President Donald Trump signing an executive order banning so-called “transgender women” from women’s sports. 

The order, titled "No Men in Women's Sports," mandates that Title IX be interpreted as prohibiting the participation of transgender girls and women in female sports. This is a far cry from the Biden administration’s approach to Title IX.

Trump called the order "common sense” before he signed it. 

"From now on, women's sports will be only for women," he said. "The war on women's sports is over."

"America rejects transgender lunacy," he added.

Apparently, one liberal state won’t comply. 

The Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL) said this week that its organization is "subject to state anti-discrimination laws, which prohibit discrimination based on gender identity."

This means that participation and eligibility of transgender student-athletes are based on the Minnesota Human Rights Act and the Minnesota Constitution. 

The Minnesota Human Rights Act prohibits discrimination based on gender identity.

"It is very clear in our Minnesota Human Rights Act that we do not separate out and remove trans people from our lived experiences of society," said State Rep. Leigh Finke, who is transgender. "I cannot overstate what it feels like to be a member of a community who is seeing our rights removed."

The MSHSL added that it will "continue to review the existing state laws alongside the new Presidential Executive Order and its timeline, processes for states, and requirements that are included."

As Leah covered, the NCAA’s Board of Governors voted to update the association’s policy for transgender student-athletes, restricting the women’s category to females. This came in direct response to Trump’s order.

“We strongly believe that clear, consistent, and uniform eligibility standards would best serve today's student-athletes instead of a patchwork of conflicting state laws and court decisions,” NCAA President Charlie Baker said in a statement. “To that end, President Trump's order provides a clear, national standard.”
