The organization's website conveys its policy in part as "athletes will be permitted to participate in USA Fencing sanctioned events in a manner consistent with their gender identity/expression, regardless of the gender associated with the sex they were assigned at birth."
The organization's policy runs contrary to the Feb. 5 executive order from President Donald Trump titled "Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports." The order the president initiated is designed to "protect opportunities for women and girls to compete in safe and fair sports."
