"This doesn't have to be long. It's all about common sense," Trump said before signing the order, adding that "women's sports will be only for women."
Trump declared, "The war on women's sports is over."
Trump was joined in the East Room of the White House in Washington, D.C., by Independent Women ambassadors Riley Gaines, Payton McNabb, Paula Scanlan, Sia Liilii, Lauren Miller, Kim Russell, Kaitlynn Wheeler, Linnea Saltz and Lily Mullens.
Gaines, who hosts OutKick's "Gaines for Girls" podcast, was among the champions of fairness in women's sports after sharing her experience in the 2022 NCAA Championships with Lia Thomas.
Mark Trammell, the executive director at the Center for American Liberty, weighed in on Trump’s executive order.
"President Trump’s executive order is a major victory for women and girls, reaffirming the fundamental truth that fairness in sports depends on biological reality," Trammell said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "This action protects female athletes from being sidelined by policies that erase sex-based distinctions, ensuring that hard-earned equal opportunities remain intact.
"While this order is a crucial step forward, lasting protections require Congress to act and enshrine these safeguards into law. The Biden Administration tried to dismantle Title IX, redefining sex to erase protections for women and girls in sports — this order rights that wrong and restores fairness and common sense."
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a briefing before Trump signed the executive order that it "upholds the promise of Title IX."
"President Trump pledged to restore common sense to our country and he’s continuing to deliver on that with an executive order that he will sign later today," she added. "The president will be signing an executive order, keeping men out of women’s sports to defend the safety of athletes, protect competitive integrity and uphold the promise of Title IX.

"This common-sense action from President Trump ends the disgusting betrayal of women and girls by the previous administration, who for years catered to radical activists who wanted biological males to be treated as women in workplaces, showers, competitive sports, prisons and even rape shelters. Gender ideology insanity is over."

"It’s incredibly important Congress immediately acts on this priority," Leavitt added. "I think the president is really setting the tone, making this a very immediate priority for this administration, just as he promised to do on the campaign trail."
