Men will not be eligible to compete in women’s Olympic sport in the US regardless of how they identify.

The committee cited President Donald Trump's February executive order, titled "Keeping Men Out of Women's Sports," which mandates immediate enforcement, including against schools and athletic associations that "deny women single-sex sports and single-sex locker rooms," according to the document, and directs state attorneys general to identify best practices for enforcing the mandate.

In a memo to the Team USA community on Tuesday, obtained by ABC News, USOPC President Gene Sykes and CEO Sarah Hirshland referenced Trump's executive order and said, "As a federally chartered organization, we have an obligation to comply with federal expectations."

In an update to its athlete safety policy, without using the word transgender by name, the USOPC said its revised policy "emphasizes the importance of ensuring fair and safe competition environments for women."

Following the revised policy, USA Fencing updated its gender eligibility guidelines, which will take effect on Aug. 1. Transgender women, nonbinary athletes, transgender men and intersex athletes will compete exclusively in men's competitions, according to the policy.

This is the right path to take. There are male and female divisions in sport for fairness, safety and dignity. Trans identified people can still compete, no one is banned. They just need to do so according to sex-based reality instead of feelings and desires.

Australia must take note and follow suit for the sake of women and girls in this country.
