Stephanie Turner courageously took a knee & refused to compete against a male in women’s fencing. 🤺

One bold stand sparked real change.

Now, @USAFencing has reversed its policy.

Thank you, Stephanie.pic.twitter.com/vs1ParPc5Z

And, US Olympic and Paralympic officials bar transgender women from competing in women's categories:

Transgender women will no longer be eligible to compete for the United States in the Olympic or Paralympic Games in women's categories, after a recent policy change from the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC).

The committee cited President Donald Trump's February executive order, titled "Keeping Men Out of Women's Sports," which mandates immediate enforcement, including against schools and athletic associations that "deny women single-sex sports and single-sex locker rooms," according to the document, and directs state attorneys general to identify best practices for enforcing the mandate.

In a memo to the Team USA community on Tuesday, obtained by ABC News, USOPC President Gene Sykes and CEO Sarah Hirshland referenced Trump's executive order and said, "As a federally chartered organization, we have an obligation to comply with federal expectations."

Well good. It'd be nice if they dropped the "transgender women" stuff, which makes it look like this is all about nasty transphobia. They're banned because they're men. Still…excellent news.
