President Donald Trump is set to sign an executive order Feb. 5 which will effectively ban those assigned male at birth from participating in women's or girls' sport events, according to the Associated Press (AP).
Human Rights Campaign President Kelley Robinson has issued a statement warning against the order.
"We all want sports to be fair, students to be safe, and young people to have the opportunity to participate alongside their peers,” she said in the statement. "... An attempted blanket ban deprives kids of those things. This order could expose young people to harassment and discrimination."
The NCAA is not governed at the federal level, but is 'expected' to enforce the order.
