Future of Women’s Sports Threatened by Biden’s Executive Order on Gender Identity

Subscribe to Daily SignalSubscribe

On his first day in office, President Joe Biden signed a divisive executive order that could ultimately lead to the end of women’s sports as we know them.

The “Executive Order on Preventing and Combating Discrimination on the Basis of Gender Identity or Sexual Orientation” says, “Children should be able to learn without worrying about whether they will be denied access to the restroom, the locker room, or school sports.”

The order gives biological males who identify as women a pathway to compete in female sports and enter women’s-only spaces, such as bathrooms.

Natasha Chart, the executive director of Women’s Liberation Front, explains the implications of Biden’s executive action and why we now face an emergency in the battle to protect women’s athletic opportunities from men.
