Schools in Philadelphia will continue to allow transking athletes to play in girls sports, even after the state of Pennsylvania announced that it would comply with President Donald Trump’s “No Men in Women’s Sports” performing order.
The school district of Philadelphia advertised in a statement delivered to Pakinomist Digital Tuesday that it will continue after its previous politics that enables transgender’s inclusion.
“The school district of Philadelphia strives to ensure security, justice and justice for all students regardless of gender identity or gender expressions so that they can imagine and realize any future they want. The district will continue to adapt its practice to support his LGBTQ+ students II Compliance with board policy 252 for students in transient and gender non-conformers, ”the statement reads.

The statement comes just a day after the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association (PIAA) approved a revision of its policy that prevents trans athletes from competing in women’s sports. The new policy defends to principals to determine the student’s “sex” when “questioned or insecure” and adds a line that says, in accordance with Trump’s executive order, “schools are obliged to consult their school substances in relation to compliance of the order “
Philadelphia’s refusal to comply with Trump’s order is the first known case of a city that is trosing its own state’s transiking policy since Trump’s executive order came into force.

In New York City, an educational worker spoke against the state’s intention of trosing Trump’s order. However, the city and the state appear that they will continue to allow trans athletes to compete.
The New York State Public High School Athletic Association (Nysphsaa) made a statement to Pakinomist Digital, which said it has advised schools to comply with current state law that allows trans athletes to compete with girls but collect public input before They make a final decision.
But the director of New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ Office of Sports, Wellness and Recreation, Jasmine Ray, said his position in favor of following Trump’s order on her Instagram story.
“To those who ask about my position, as director of NYC Sports & Rec, I stand with the recent executive order that strengthens the importance of justice in women’s sports,” she wrote.
However, Ray later took down her story and said she deleted it at the “Guide” of the Mayor’s Chief of Staff, Camille Joseph Varlack.
As Pennsylvania tries to comply with Trump’s order but faces opposition from Philadelphia, other battlefield states are also shared on the issue.
Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association (WIAA) announced last week that it updated its policies to only allow athletes “appointed as women at birth” to compete in girls sports. Wisconsin activated previous Trans -Including in Girls Sports back to 2013.
Meanwhile, Michigan has not complied with Trump’s executive order and continues to allow Trans athletes to compete in girls sports, but a bill has been introduced into the state legislature that would prevent Trans cluttering in Girls Sports.
Four states are under investigation by Trump’s Institute for Education to refuse to comply with the order – California, Massachusetts, Maine and Minnesota.
US legal lawyer Pam Bondi warns these states to comply with the federal anti -discrimination laws that require them to keep boys out of women’s sports or face litigation, Pakinomist Digital reported Tuesday.
“This Ministry of Justice will have responsible states and state entities that violate federal legislation,” Bondi wrote. “In fact, we’ve already started doing it.”
Bondi referred to the Ministry of Justice’s steps to Sue Illinois and New York earlier in February to tread federal immigration laws.
“We are also ready to sue states and state units that defy federal anti -discrimination laws,” Bondi wrote.
