Caitlyn Jenner released an unexpected statement following President Trump’s signing of an executive order impacting transgender athletes.

Caitlyn Jenner Weighs in on Trump’s New Executive Order Targeting Transgender Athletes

In a move that has stirred both controversy and confusion, Caitlyn Jenner has issued a statement regarding President Donald Trump’s latest executive order, which directly impacts transgender athletes competing in women’s sports. The order, signed by Trump at the White House, reinforces his stance that women’s sports should be exclusively for biological females and is part of a broader initiative to restrict federal funding for schools that allow transgender athletes to participate on women’s teams.

Trump’s Executive Order: A Closer Look
President Trump, 78, unveiled the new legislation amid his ongoing criticism of transgender participation in women’s sports. During his announcement, he stated, “We will defend the proud tradition of female athletes. From now on, women’s sports will be only for women. The war on women’s sports is over.” He further explained that this executive order is one element of a sweeping effort to “reclaim our culture and our laws.” The policy instructs the Education Department to alert schools that permitting transgender athletes to compete will violate federal laws designed to prevent sex discrimination.

Under current federal law, Title IX prohibits schools that discriminate on the basis of sex from receiving federal funds. Trump’s new order takes aim at institutions that allow transgender athletes—whom he refers to as “biological men”—to compete on women’s teams, warning that any such school risks being stripped of taxpayer dollars. “There will be no federal funding,” Trump warned. “If men take over women’s sports teams or invade your locker rooms, you will be investigated.” These remarks were intended to serve as a stern warning to schools nationwide.

Caitlyn Jenner’s Unexpected Support
In a surprising twist that has captured widespread attention, former Olympian Caitlyn Jenner took to X (formerly Twitter) to express her support for the executive order. Jenner, who publicly transitioned in 2015 and has since become one of the most recognized transgender figures in sports, stated:

“Another victory in the fight for protecting women’s sports! President Trump signs an Executive Order keeping biological men out of women’s sports!”

In her follow-up message, Jenner affirmed her commitment to lobbying international sports governing bodies, adding, “As an Olympian, I will continue to fight this issue, lobbying sport governing bodies all over the world to follow our lead!” Jenner’s declaration has sparked a complex debate among her millions of followers, with many questioning the implications of her support for a policy that, critics argue, could further marginalize the transgender community.
