Just a few weeks after Donald J. Trump became president once again, I stood in the East Room of the White House, surrounded by fellow female athletes and aspiring young girls behind the president as he signed his Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports executive order.

It was a moment that seemed all but impossible a few years ago. But there we were, watching as common sense began returning to America.

A lot can change in just 100 days. Now, young female athletes can live out their dreams in a new era with a champion looking out for them.

Unfortunately, I’ve seen firsthand what happens when this isn’t the case—and if it weren’t for this president, many more female athletes would have too. One of the first real tests of President Trump’s commitment to protecting us came in February when news broke that a biologically male high school pole vaulter in Maine won first place at the State Championship, competing as a girl.

Sadly, stories like that one were becoming all too common throughout America. After all, the Left spent the last four years trying to normalize moments just like it. And during those years, it had a significant advantage when pushing its alternate reality: a president who was fully on board.

That’s not true anymore.

This time, Democratic leaders learned the hard way that they no longer have an ally in the White House helping to advance their deranged agenda. When Maine Governor Janet Mills visited the White House following the pole vaulting state championship, President Trump took the chance to publicly call her out for not doing enough to protect girls in her state. “See you in court,” was her curt response.

I was proud to be there when Gov. Mills got her wish, standing with Attorney General Pam Bondi and Education Secretary Linda McMahon as they announced the administration’s new lawsuit against the state of Maine for failing to keep men out of women’s sports. Message received.

That’s just one of many examples of what this administration has done on behalf of girls and women. Actions like the Maine lawsuit have a tone-setting effect throughout the country. Many of the worst culprits on this issue are backpedaling fast. The NCAA, for example, has claimed it will comply with Trump’s “two-gender policy” and keep men out of women’s athletics. The organization may go back on its word, but it will face consequences if it does. The fact that it is at least pretending to do something to protect female athletes shows that the tide has turned in President Trump’s first 100 days back in office.

This is a winning issue for the Right, and many on the Left know it, even the most radical. California Gov. Gavin Newsom went from a public advocate for men invading women’s sports to publicly cowering from the issue altogether. Now he’s finding out that lip service is not enough for the Trump administration, as Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins and Education Secretary McMahon announced they will hold Newsom to his word, at the risk of losing federal funds.

That is how you protect young girls in America.

In just a short amount of time, the future looks brighter for young female sports stars. Unlike the Biden years, these girls now have advocates at the top who are going to bat for them, not for those seeking to crush their dreams.

A hundred days into the second Trump term, more wins have been put on the board for girls and women than in all of Biden’s presidency. Expect much more to come with President Trump at the helm.
