Raven’s editorial director Ryan Mink Posted in response, “Trans women are women.” Decosta made it clear that the problem was about “justice.”

“Ryan Mink, we don’t have to agree. I’ve been playing sports all my life,” she added. “I was a completely American lacrosse player. Many girls don’t see this as a transcendant, but a matter of justice. I will always fight for justice when it comes to girls in sports.”

The order gave federal agencies the power to ensure that units receiving federal financing comply with original title IX standards.

“This doesn’t have to be long. It’s about common sense,” Trump said before signing the order, adding that “Woman’s sports will only be for women.”

Trump declared, “The war against women’s sports is over.”
