The order creates conditions which expose young people to harassment and discrimination while encouraging people to question the gender identity of students who do not conform to mainstream standards regarding dress or appearance according to Robinson.
According to her “athletics teaches students to develop values such as teamwork alongside dedication along with perseverance.” The right policy should benefit all children instead of producing measures that create additional hardships.
The executive order subjects educational institutions to serious financial sanctions and legal consequences when they fail to meet its requirements.
The lack of compliance with this mandate exposes schools to losing federal funds together with huge financial liabilities which stem from lawsuits filed by female athletes whose rights are infringed.
May Mailman warned that educational institutions exposing themselves to Department of Justice actions when they violate the directive. Because Title IX includes private right of action it enables female students to file lawsuits against their schools for violating the law.

The executive order emerges from a sequence of transgender rights restriction efforts which attempted to eliminate military transgender service and terminate federal transgender medical benefits.

The new step by the administration will likely meet court challenges which will expand existing debate about transgender rights versus fair competition opportunities.
