NCAA trans athlete policies are being challenged by women's rights groups, who urge Donald Trump to intervene.

Women's advocacy groups have urged President-elect Trump to push the NCAA to alter its policies on trans athletes in women's sports.

The first and only coalition of women's advocacy organizations in the country, Our Bodies, Our Sports, issued a letter to the president-elect requesting that he use his influence to have the NCAA take action to protect the rights and opportunities of collegiate female athletes.

The letter requested that you use your influential voice to prompt the NCAA to establish clearer participation guidelines to safeguard the rights and prospects of female athletes.

The NCAA's policy on transgender student-athlete participation remains controversial and unscientific, allowing men to compete in women's sports, thereby depriving women of their opportunities to compete, roster spots on teams, medals, and safe and fair competition.

The 2025 NCAA Convention, held from Jan. 14-17 in Nashville, Tennessee, will be filled with various events such as issues, forums, business sessions, and award presentations.

The federal judge struck down the Biden administration's attempt to redefine sex in Title IX as "gender identity" nationwide.

On Tuesday, the ruling was issued in the U.S. District Court Eastern District of Kentucky Northern Division in the case of Cardona v. Tennessee.

TN Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti celebrated the ruling with a post on X. 'Another massive win for TN and the country!' the post read. This morning, a federal court ruled in our favor and vacated the Biden admin's radical new Title IX rule nationwide.

"The court's ruling is a triumph for safeguarding girls' privacy in locker rooms and showers, as well as for the right to use biologically-accurate pronouns."

The Supreme Court has previously rejected the Biden administration's emergency request to implement parts of a new rule that would have provided protection from discrimination for transgender students under Title IX.

The NCAA's transgender participation policy allows trans athletes to play in a "sport-by-sport approach," which balances fairness, inclusion, and safety for all who compete. The governing body's policy aligns with that of the Olympic Movement.

The NCAA policy mandates that transgender student-athletes must provide documentation that adheres to the 2010 policy and demonstrate their testosterone levels meet the sport standard at three specific points: before the start of the regular season, before the first competition in an NCAA championship, and before any competition in the "non-championship segment."

The Independent Women’s Forum, Independent Council on Women’s Sports, Women’s Declaration International USA, Champion Women, International Consortium on Female Sport, Concerned Women for America, Women’s Liberation Front, Independent Women’s Law Center, Young Women for America, Independent Women’s Voice, and Independent Women’s Network are all part of Our Bodies, Our Sports.

"The letter to Trump concludes with a statement that expresses gratitude for standing with the women and girls who will come next, while also requesting the NCAA to restore fairness and opportunity in collegiate sports."
