  • The Virginia High School League announced Monday afternoon that it will comply with President Donald Trump's executive order to keep transgender women from playing on women's high school sports teams.

The Virginia High School League (VHSL) has revised its transgender policy in response to an executive order issued by President Trump, which aims to ensure that sports teams are designated based on biological sex at birth. This change reverses a previous policy that allowed transgender athletes to participate in sports consistent with their gender identity. The new policy, effective immediately, mandates that all VHSL schools must adhere to this directive, potentially affecting transgender students' participation in sports.
