The National Women’s Law Center, a group that opposed Trump’s executive order, on Thursday condemned the IOC’s decision, saying that the committee is “embracing a policy that invites confusion, stigma, and invasive scrutiny rather than clarity or safety.”

“Vague and medically unnecessary eligibility rules do not protect women — they expose athletes to humiliating questioning, coerced disclosures of private medical information, and even traumatizing physical examinations to ‘prove’ their womanhood,” Brian Dittmeier, the organization’s director of LGBTQI+ equality, said in a statement. “These policies will disproportionately harm women who already face suspicion and discrimination, including women of color and those who don’t adhere to patriarchal expectations of femininity.”
