AI Summary:
The national Collegiate Athletic Association, the main governing body for college sports in the US, said on Thursday that it would limit competition in girls’ and women’s sports to female-born athletes only. The announcement comes after US President Donald Trump signed an executive order the previous day to deny funding to educational institutes that allow trans girls' and women to compete in female sports. Trump's order provides a clear, national standard. The NCAA is by far the largest governing body for college sports in the US. Opinion polls have pointed to growing public opposition to trans women competing against female athletes.

  • My friend actually knows the girls on the team in the photo there. Apparently they have been having many other teams forfeit games against them because they have a trans woman on their team.

    One of them is suing her. Crazy stuff.
