Officially, the new rules state 'a student athlete assigned male at birth may not compete for an NCAA women's team'.
In some sports, it's common for athletes competing in women's sports to practice against practice teams made up of both men and women.
The executive order from Trump drew widespread praise from his supporters - as well as those who have advocated for a blanket ban on trans women in women's sports.
