Trump Signs Order Banning Trans Women and Girls from School Sports
------------------------------------------------------------------

President Trump on Wednesday signed an executive order to bar
transgender students from school sports. The so-called "Keeping Men Out
of Women's Sports" order directs federal agencies to withhold funding
for schools that do not comply. This came as at least 15 attorneys
general from Democratic-led states issued a joint statement vowing to
protect gender-affirming care, calling Trump's order to rescind federal
funding for the lifesaving treatments "wrong on the science and the
law."
