The former competitive swimmer who represented Great -Britain in the Olympic Games went to X/Twitter to share her opinion about this and said that the decision “unfortunately was not the UK in the US.”
In an offer of despair for the UK to follow in the footsteps of the US president, Davies wrote: 'Please Keir Starmer can now do what you said that you would like and protect all the female athletes here in the UK, prices and their increase the risk of injury? Sex in sport is really important … '
It is after Trump has signed the controversial new executive order that transgender and girls retains to participate in female sports and to fulfill a campaign blade to 'keep men outside the sport'.
The order, entitled 'Men Out of Women's Sports', was signed on national girls and women in the sports day and will punish schools and athletic associations with which transgender athletes can participate in female categories.
Schools that are found in violation can lose federal financing under the directive.

Davies wrote to the British Prime Minister: 'Please Kier Starmer, can you now do what you said that you all female athletes here in the United Kingdom in Sport & would prevent men from stealing their places, prices, prices and their risk of injury? '
“Biology is important, especially in a physical activity such as sports, but women and girls deserve spaces away from all and all men.”
Surrounded by female athletes and supporters in the signing, Trump stated: “The war against women's sports is over.”
He was the move as a necessary step to protect honesty in female athletics, and compared it with his earlier efforts to remove what he woke up 'anger' from the army.
The order goes beyond school sports, where Trump also promises to block transgender athletes to participate in elite international events that are organized in the US.
Referring to the upcoming Olympic Games from Los Angeles from Los Angeles and the FIFA World Cup 2026, explained Trump: 'My administration will not assist and see how men beat female athletes and have.
“We're not going to let it happen.”
In a dramatic step, he also announced that his administration requests for transgender women would deny trying to compete as female athletes in the US -based competitions.
“To be sure, I instruct our secretary of Homeland Security to block fraudulent requests by men who try to enter the US as female athletes,” Trump added.
This is the third executive order that Trump has signed aimed at transgender people since they returned to the office last month.
His earlier orders have returned transgender participation to the army and access to gender -confirming care.

On his first day in the office, Trump also signed a guideline stating that the federal government will only recognize two sexes: male and female.
Critics claim that the last order could have far-reaching consequences than elite sports, who influence young children who want to participate in school athletics.
Olivia Hunt, director of the federal policy at Advocates for Trans Equality, warned that the policy would isolate transgender youth and stigmatize: 'We tell these children that they do not deserve the same opportunities as their colleagues.
“We put them apart, making them feel different and open the door to bullying,” she said.
The executive order of Trump could take on legal challenges, as it is expected that it is expected to prohibit the civil rights legislation that will prohibit genus -based discrimination in federally financed educational programs.
Legal experts have suggested that Trump could have achieved the same result by interpreting easily existing regulations differently, instead of issuing a radical executive order.
Cheryl Cooky, a professor at Purdue University who studies gender and sport, rejected the move as a 'solution looking for a problem', while Duke Law Professor Doriane Lambelet Coleman noted that federal agencies already have discretion in maintaining title IX .
Although the number of transgender athletes competing on elite levels small, controversial cases – such as swimmer Lia Thomas – have fed national debate on the issue.
