The Virginia High School League will comply with President Trump's executive order which prevents transgender students from participating in girl's sports.

Using words like “maiming” and “junk science,” the directives try to portray trans people as lacking honesty and integrity, and thus unworthy of legal rights.

In response, the NCAA immediately revised its transgender participation policy, restricting competition in women’s sports to athletes assigned female at birth. Legal challenges are expected, as some states and advocacy groups argue the policy is discriminatory and violates previous Title IX interpretations.
