Wisconsin prohibits trans athletes from girls’ sports after Trump -Order

Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association (WIAA) is the latest state sports organization capitulating to President Donald Trump’s recent executive order that prevents trans athletes from competing in girls’ sports.

WIAA announced on Wednesday that an update to its policies who only said athletes “appointed as women at birth” would be allowed to compete in girls’ sports.

“Today, the Wiaa Board of Control voted to update the organization’s policy on the eligibility of the student athlete-to confirm its compliance with federal directives, as only students appointed as women at birth are allowed to participate in girls competitions,” said Wiaa’s executive director Stephanie Hauser in a statement. “Working in consultation with legal adviser, our board updated this policy to ensure that clarity is delivered to our membership as they work to comply with new Federal Guide from the White House.”

Wisconsin’s new policy reflects NCAA’s as it still allows biological athletes to participate in girls’ practice but not official competitions.

The state had allowed a transgender athlete participation in girls’ sports since 2013.

Last April, Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers vetoed a bill that would have banned transient athletes in high school from competing for girls’ sports teams.

Evers said in a press release when he vetoed he would veto any bill that “harms LGBTQ Wisconsinites’ and children’s mental health.”

“I will veto any bill that makes Wisconsin a less secure, less inclusive and less inviting place for LGBTQ people and children, and I will continue to keep my promise to use any power available to me to defend them, protect their rights and keep them in security, ”Evers said.

“States throughout this country can make room for radical policies targeting LGBTQ -Individuals and families and threatens LGBTQ -people’s everyday life and their ability to be safe, valued, supported and welcome is the one they are. As long as I is the governor of this great state, Wisconsin will not be among them.

However, the state has now fallen in line with 25 others who already have laws in place to prevent trans athletes in girls’ sports, and others who have updated their policy following Trump’s executive order.

Wisconsin voted for Trump in the 2016 presidential elections and 2024, but has otherwise been known as a blue state in recent history. But now Wisconsin is the latest state that accepts to enforce Trump’s policy to protect girls and women from trans -cluttering in sports. Resistance to Trans Inclusion has become more of a Bipartisan subject in the last year.

A recent New York Times/Ipsos Survey Found the vast majority of Americans, including a majority of Democrats, do not think transnry athletes should be allowed to compete in women’s sports. Of the 2,128 people who were examined, 79% biological men who identify themselves as women said should not be allowed to participate in women’s sports.

Of the 1,025 people who identified themselves as Democrats or inclined Democratic, 67%said transnry athletes should not be allowed to compete with women.

Still, some blue states have refused to comply with Trump’s executive order and continue to allow trans athletes to compete with girls. California, Minnesota and Maine are among the most prominent states openly defying Trump on the question.

But these states risk losing federal funding according to Trump’s order. California and Minnesota are also currently under investigation by the US Ministry of Education for potential violations of title IX by also going against Trump’s order.

Trumps appointed to Education Secretary, Linda McMahon, Made her attitude aware of trans -cluttering in women’s and girls’ sports during her confirmation hearing.

“I don’t think biological boys should be able to compete against girls in sports and I think now that it certainly hasn’t just the people who were spokenBecause it was something that Trump ran very heavily on, but I think the court has spoken, ”McMahon said.

“We are really back to what title IX was originally established to do and that was to protect social discrimination. Women should feel safe in their dressing room. They should feel safe in their room. They should not have to be exposed to men, in front of them.
