Four months have passed since President Trump signed the executive order called “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports.” Despite this, several states like California and Maine continue to let transgender athletes participate in girls’ sports, sparking national debates. These states have chosen to follow their own laws, leading to situations where biological males compete in and often excel in high school girls’ sports.

The Trump administration is actively challenging these states by initiating investigations and filing lawsuits. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has hinted at taking more drastic measures. During a press briefing, she mentioned that those who violate the executive order and Title IX could face legal consequences.

Riley Gaines, a former NCAA swimmer and conservative voice, supports the idea of prosecution for those who defy the executive order. She told Fox News Digital, “I would love to see prosecution because I believe what is happening is criminal.” Gaines, who competed against transgender swimmer Lia Thomas, feels that the ongoing situation robs women of their rights and achievements.

Gaines has been vocal about her belief that university officials should be held accountable. She pointed out the president of Georgia Tech, Angel Cabrera, as someone who should face prosecution for allowing these actions. Gaines, along with other female swimmers, has filed a lawsuit against the NCAA over her experience with Thomas.

Swimmers Kaitlynn Wheeler and Kylee Alons, who also competed in the 2022 championships, agree with Gaines’ stance. They believe that knowingly violating Title IX should have serious repercussions. Wheeler stated, “If you break federal law there should be consequences like Riley said, and if that means prosecution in some of these states, then yeah, bring it on.”

Alons questioned how anyone could not support prosecuting those who defy the executive order. She emphasized the harm being caused to women and girls, saying that laws exist for a reason. Their attorney, William Bock, also supports the notion of prosecution, stating it’s necessary to enforce the executive order.

Trump’s administration has already implemented funding freezes and legal actions against states like Maine and universities like the University of Pennsylvania. Investigations are ongoing in other states including California and Minnesota. The Department of Justice has given California a deadline to revise its policies regarding transgender athletes.

While Gaines and others find Trump’s approach encouraging, they are eager for more decisive action. Gaines remarked, “We’re ready to see some action.” Wheeler added that the executive order is a positive step but more needs to be done to ensure long-term protection for women’s sports.

At the collegiate level, the NCAA has updated its gender eligibility policy following Trump’s executive order. The new policy restricts competition in women’s sports to females only, but critics argue it lacks clear enforcement guidelines. This has led to confusion, as seen when Ithaca College allowed a transgender athlete to compete in a rowing event due to a misunderstanding.

The NCAA responded by stating the event would be classified as a mixed team competition, not eligible to compete against women’s teams. They acknowledged Ithaca College’s intent to comply with the policy and appreciated their quick response. However, the NCAA has yet to clarify the results of that competition.
