Transgender Women Banned from USOPC Events, Following Trump's Directive
The US Olympic committee has updated its rules.
Now, transgender women can't compete in women's events at the Olympics.
This change is because of an order from the former President Trump.
The order says schools could lose money if transgender girls play on girls' teams.
The USOPC wants to follow this rule.
They say they need to make sure women have fair and safe sports.
All sports groups need to change their rules too.
USOPC updated its policy, banning transgender women from Olympic/Paralympic women's competitions.
The policy change is a response to former President Trump's executive order.
The executive order aims to prevent transgender girls from participating on girls' teams.
USOPC cites its obligation to comply with federal expectations.
National Governing Bodies must update their policies accordingly.
