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.

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........
