Trump Signs Trans Sports Ban Amid National Girls and Women in Sports Day

J.K. Rowling has publicly celebrated President Donald Trump's recent executive order banning transgender women from competing in female sports, which was signed on National Girls and Women in Sports Day. In her posts on X, she criticized left-wing activists for advocating for transgender inclusion, suggesting their efforts have undermined women's rights. Rowling described the inclusion of transgender athletes in women's sports as 'demeaning, unfair, and dangerous' and claimed it threatens the safety and dignity of female athletes. She also dismissed arguments about the small number of transgender athletes, calling them 'utterly ridiculous.' The executive order aims to ensure that girls and women compete fairly against other females, which supporters argue will protect the integrity of women's sports. This move, however, has sparked significant backlash from LGBTQ advocates and supporters of transgender rights.
