“It’s just a tough situation. There is an ethics … There is something that I mean is true. I think men and women are different. I think men do not belong in women’s sports, it is a fundamental faith I have. For reasons, one I am a guy and I can understand the difference and the benefits we have,” said Isaac.
“But at the same time, there is a reality in the situation … There are people who are not in sports who are transcends (who) try to live their lives in the best way, they know how. And they have this feeling of what they think is right and who else is to say they are wrong in some sense.”

Isaac acknowledged humanity in the complex situation, but said his belief in the basic differences between men and women ultimately caused him to pull a line in the sand.

The executive order, “Keeping but out of women’s sports”, was based on section IX, part of a civil rights law passed in 1972, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in federally funded educational programs.
The order instructed the Department of Education to investigate academic institutions that did not comply. If a school is considered to be in non -compliance, federal funds could be withdrawn.
Elsewhere, the International Olympic Committee has decided to allow the global federation that govern a number of sports to create their respective justification rules. According to Trump’s executive order, the Foreign Ministry is instructed to demand changes to the committee.
NCAA responded to the executive order by introducing a sweeping new policy. The organization’s updated participation policy, which was announced in February, stated that only “student athletes assigned to a woman at birth” are allowed to participate in inter-collegial athletic competitions.
The latest policy allows “student athletes who are assigned male at birth to practice with women’s teams and receive benefits as medical treatment.” However, these athletes are banned from all NCAA-sanctioned competitions.
In December 2024, NCAA President Charlie Baker told a Senate Committee that there were “less than 10” cross -cut college students that he was aware of at the time. Baker, Republican Governor of Massachusetts from 2015-2023, also confirmed that there are about “five hundred and ten thousand” athletes enrolled in more than 1,000 colleges and universities in all 50 states that NCAA supervises.
