NCAA switched the switch and seemed to change his gender policy in participating in the ban on biological men from competition in women’s sports after the President Donald Trump Executive command.
Two weeks after Trump There are no men in women’s sports Executive order, longtime critics of the top collegial athletic association in the United States said that the new policy leaves a lot of desire. Riley Gaines, Jennifer Sey, Kim Jones and others who advocated the protection of women’s sports highlighted the possible holes in NCAA’s policies.
The main criticism is that politics fails far enough or establish clear obstacles to protecting women’s athletes in the faculty ranks. The most common criticism was that politics allegedly allows trances to go bypassing the limit by changing gender on their native list.

In the United States, 44 countries allow the gender leaves to change the change of native sex. The only states that do not allow this are Florida, Texas, Kansas, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Montana. In the meantime, there are 14 countries that allow gender change on the native list without the necessary medical documentation, including California, New York, Massachusetts and Michigan.
Gaines, host Outkick’s “Gaines for girls” Podcast and former all -American swimmer in Kentucky said on Wednesday in an interview with Fox News Digital that the new NCAA policy was “explicitly in conflict” with Trump’s executive order.
“No. 1, first of all, this policy removes all the responsibility from NCAA, which, of course, is something that has been on their mind for a long time,” Gaines said. “It provides holes for both states and schools because it does not define sex, which we have seen now, the problem is, unfortunately. I mean, it is wild that we have to define expression based on gender like males and female, but we saw what happens when we don’t see uneducated bureaucrats As they go through the back door and reinterpret these words to mean what they want.

“So, this does not define gender, does not define male or female, but defines gender identity. And defines gender identity both as a man and a woman. So, of course, you can see where the problem is. Qualifications for the way they consider and assign sex foundations on your native list, which, of course, is a piece of paper we have now seen that it can be completely forged and false. “
“This policy explicitly allows men and women from a women’s team. No matter how you read it, men are still allowed to receive female benefits, which includes access to their locker rooms. No projection. No surveillance. All of these and more are just just Several reasons why this NCAA policy is certainly problematic. “
The NCAA’s new policy for students “awarded males at birth”, and their participation in women’s teams stated that athletes cannot compete in the women’s team, but they “can practice in the team in accordance with their gender identity and get everything Other advantages applicable to applicable students who are otherwise eligible for practice. “
An NCAA spokesman Fox News Digital said that the management body would not allow trans athletes to compete in the women’s category based on changed gender leaves.

“The politics is clear that there is no renunciation at the disposal, and the athletes who have been assigned to men at birth may not compete in the women’s team with modified gender leaves or other forms of ID,” said a spokesman.
In terms of trance of athletes who exercise in the women’s team, NCAA considers the players of male practices “main” women’s sports.
“The players of men’s practices have been in college sports for decades, especially in women’s basketball, and the association will continue to explain it in politics,” a spokesman said.
Gaines told Fox News Digital that politics “speaks for himself.”
“Politics just isn’t clear. Again, it removes responsibility from NCAA,” she said. “So, of course, they will say,” Look, it’s not on us. We have done what we need to do. “The bottom line opened women almost even more than their previous policy, given that they took away screening and supervision. They even removed it.
“These schools can and will – mark my words, interpret that they mean what they want. I don’t know why so many people have so naive that they believe that NCAA has basically grew the spine overnight and decided all in all in their power to protect the athlete – female Or a man about this – because as someone who was at the reception of NCAA’s harassment, I can tell you that this is not the case.
Kim Jones, former tennis star and co -founder of the Independent Council for Women’s Sports, said on “Fox & Friends” She would ask Trump to bring her ncaa back to the table, take out a new policy and start over and over.

“NCAA is sure to receive funding. Therefore, if they are not willing to respect the President Trump, again a thorough and beautifully written executive order, then I believe NCAA should lose federal funding.”
