Former President Donald Trump has made a firm pledge to ban men from competing in women’s sports and to reverse President Joe Biden’s Title IX policies if re-elected. Speaking on the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton radio show, Trump emphasized his commitment to addressing these issues on his first day back in office.

Clay Travis broke the news on X, saying, “President Trump just pledged to all of us on @clayandbuck that men will not be allowed to compete against women in sports when he is elected president. He promises to take care of it on day one and end Kamala and Biden’s new Title IX policies allowing this to happen.”

Trump also took to Truth Social to assert his position, posting, “I WILL KEEP MEN OUT OF WOMEN’S SPORTS!”

This announcement comes after Italian boxer Angela Carini withdrew from her match against Algerian transgender boxer Imane Khelif at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Khelif, who was disqualified from the 2023 world championships for having “XY chromosomes” and high testosterone levels, has been at the center of a heated debate about the inclusion of transgender athletes in women’s sports.

The GOP’s 2024 platform reflects Trump’s promises, aiming to ban taxpayer funding for gender transition surgeries, prevent trans-identifying males from competing in women’s sports, and stop schools from promoting gender transition. These measures seek to counter Biden’s Title IX policies and restore protections for female athletes.

Trump’s stance addresses the growing concern among conservatives about the fairness and safety of women’s sports. Critics argue that biological males competing against women create an uneven playing field, while proponents of inclusion emphasize the rights of transgender individuals.

As the 2024 election approaches, Trump’s strong stance on this issue is likely to resonate with conservative voters who prioritize traditional gender roles and fairness in sports. His commitment to act “on day one” underscores his determination to implement immediate changes to current policies.

Trump’s clear promise positions him as a defender of female athletes and traditional values, aiming to ensure competitive fairness and integrity in women’s sports.
