What authority does the president have in banning transgender athletes from women's sports?

Are "women's sports" a part of the executive branch of the government?

This will be another EO going down in flames.

So you support biological males who cynically decide they are a woman right around the time they figure out that being a woman gives them a competitive advantage in women's sports?

This is the hill you want to die on?

@SumKindaMunster no, not the point of my post. I am talking about the legal authority for the president to take such action.

@SumKindaMunster and you really believe a guy would become a transexual just to win at sports???

@trollslayer I suppose the courts will decide. Perhaps this will give state legislators the confidence to start legislating this.

And yes, plenty of men would transition to gain a competitive advantage in sports...seen it many times.

@SumKindaMunster can you give an example? Jenner didn’t.

@SumKindaMunster there’s nothing cynical about wanting to win , even if it’s against lesser competition . (Which is kinda the point . At least those athletes can call themselves champion.)

@trollslayer We know exactly what you are talking about. Disagreeing with anything Trump does. Keep up this attitude and it's going to be a long 4 years for you.
