There's been a lot of crazy going around in the last few years, much of it coming from the Biden administration and its pandering to the left on every conceivable issue - even down to letting dudes compete on women's sports teams. Even the U.S. Olympic Committee wasn't immune from this lunacy, but as the man said, the times, they are a'changing. The U.S. Committee realized that they'd better start swimming or they'll sink like a stone, so they quietly, oh-so-quietly made a small change in their rules to ensure that only women will compete in women's Olympic events.
Without much fanfare, the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee appears to have changed its policy on transgender athletes, now complying with President Donald Trump's executive order to keep men out of women's sports. On its official website, the U.S.O.P.C. has a page titled "Transgender athlete participation in sport" and just below that title it says, "We are invested in becoming a DE&I leader in sport by providing access and opportunity for all."
But there's one small change on the page. Now, there's a note that reads, "As of July 21, 2025, please refer to the USOPC athlete safety policy" with a link to the new policy. According to that document, the organization issued these changes last month. The U.S.O.P.C. has always had an athlete safety policy, so the majority of the 27-page document appears unchanged.
The whole "DE&I" thing was and remains the purest of horse squeeze, but then, there's this:
However, there is a small addendum to section three, which is titled, "Jurisdiction." Now, Article 3.3 (labeled "Additional Requirements") states: "The USOPC is committed to protecting opportunities for athletes participating in sport. The USOPC will continue to collaborate with various stakeholders with oversight responsibilities, e.g., IOC, IPC, NGBs, to ensure that women have a fair and safe competition environment consistent with Executive Order 14201 and the Ted Stevens Olympic & Amateur Sports Act, 36 U.S.C § 22501, et. seq."
While they didn't expressly state what Executive Order 14201 actually says, it's Trump's order titled "Keeping men out of women's sports." So, it seems that the USOPC has finally decided to comply with federal law and ban males from women's sports, even though the addendum doesn't explicitly say that.
There are still many other questions out there, though. How is the USOPC going to determine who is eligible to compete in women's sports? As OutKick has reported, the NCAA has a ban on males competing in women's sports, but the organization only requires a person to have a birth certificate stating that an athlete is female. Many states allow people to change their birth certificates to reflect their "gender identity" instead of their biological sex.
Ay, there's the rub. This smells a lot like an attempt to comply without really complying, or at least, leaving the "transgender" competitors - you know, men - a way to fudge the system.
In other words, to cheat.
Some states, yes, will allow transgender people to change their birth certificates, and as this is normally a county-level function, the issue and maintenance of birth certificates is going to be a bear to resolve. Of course, if the Olympic Committee were serious about this, they would simply define "women" as "people with two X chromosomes." They would then have slammed the door on the cheaters. So, the argument over this hideously unfair practice in the Olympics will go on, it seems, a little longer.

In the meantime, with the Los Angeles Olympics coming up, the Committee could organize a few LA-themed events, like the 300-Meter Passed Out Homeless Person Hurdle, the ICE Protest Endurance Race, or Looter Wrestling.
