Trump Sues California Over Transgender Sports Policy

News summary

The Trump administration has filed a federal lawsuit against California, arguing that the state's policy allowing transgender athletes to compete in girls' sports violates Title IX's prohibition on sex-based discrimination. The Department of Justice claims these policies disadvantage female athletes by denying them awards, scholarships, and podium placements. The lawsuit seeks an injunction to prevent biological males from competing in female-designated events, compensation and record corrections for affected athletes, and compliance monitoring. California officials, citing the Equal Protection Clause, defend their stance, but the U.S. Department of Education found the state in violation of Title IX and noted California refused to change its policy by the federal deadline. The DOJ has indicated that federal funding could be at risk for noncompliance. This lawsuit is part of a broader Trump administration effort, including executive orders and similar legal actions in other states, to restrict transgender athlete participation in school sports.
