The Philadelphia schools will continue to allow transgender athletes to play in girls sports, even after the state of Pennsylvania has announced that it would comply with the executive decree “No Men in Women’s Sports” of President Donald Trump.
The School District of Philadelphia announced Tuesday in a press release that it will continue to follow its previous policy which allows transgender inclusion.
“The district will continue to align its practices to support its LGBTQ + students in accordance with the policy of the board of directors 252 for transgender students and not in accordance with sex,” said the press release, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.

The declaration comes just one day after the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association (PIAA) approved a review of its policy which prevents Trans athletes from participating in female sports. The new policy undertakes the directors of the directors to determine the “sex” of a student when he is “questioned or uncertain” and adds a line which says, in accordance with Trump’s decree, “schools are required to consult their School lawyers in relation to compliance with order. “”
Philadelphia’s refusal to comply with Trump’s order is the first known example of a city defying the Policy of Trans inclusion of its own state, because the executive order of Trump has entered into force.

In New York, an education official spoke out against the state’s intention to challenge Trump’s order. However, the city and the state seem that they will continue to allow trans athletes to compete.
THE new York The public state High School Athletic Association (Nysphsaa) provided a statement to PK Press Club Digital saying that it had advised schools to comply with the current state law which allows athletes to compete with girls, but collects public contribution before making a final decision.
But the director of the Office of Sports, Well-Being and Leisure of the Mayor of New York, Jasmine Ray, said her position in favor of following Trump’s order on her Instagram history.
“To those who ask for my post, as director of NYC Sports & Rec, I am with the recent decree reinforcing the importance of equity in female sports,” she wrote.
However, Ray later removed his story and said that she had deleted it to the “councils” of the mayor’s chief of staff, Camille Joseph Varlack.
With the Pennsylvania trying to comply with the order of Trump but faced with the resistance of Philadelphia, other states of the battlefield are also divided on the issue.
The Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association (WIAA) announced last week that it updated its policies to allow athletes that “designated as women at birth” to compete in female sports. Wisconsin previously enabled trans inclusion in girls sports dating from 2013.
Meanwhile, Michigan has not respected Trump’s decree and continues to allow Trans athletes to participate in girls sports, but a bill was presented to the state legislature which would prevent inclusion Trans in girls sports.
Four states are under investigation by the Trump Ministry of Education for having refused to comply with order – California, Massachusetts, Maine and Minnesota.
The American prosecutor General Pam Bondi warns these states to comply with the federal anti -discrimination laws which force them to keep the boys away from female sports or to face legal actions, PK Press Club Digital reported on Tuesday.
“This Ministry of Justice will hold responsible state static states and entities that violate federal law,” said Bondi. “Indeed, we have already started to do so.”
Bondi referred to the decision of the Ministry of Justice in Sue Illinois and New York earlier in February for challenging federal immigration laws.
“We are also ready to continue the States and the entities of states that defy the federal laws of anti -discrimination,” Bondi wrote.
