US EditionCalifornia rejects Trump demand to ban trans athletes
CALIFORNIA, JUL 8 – California opposes federal Title IX reinterpretation to maintain transgender athletes' participation and risks losing $8 billion in education funding, officials said.
- Last month, California officials declined the Trump administration's request to prohibit transgender students from participating in girls' high school athletic teams.
- The demands came after the administration concluded that California's policies permitting transgender girls to participate on girls' sports teams violated Title IX.
- Governor Gavin Newsom acknowledged earlier this year that trans athletes' participation raises fairness issues but has resisted complying with federal enforcement or agreements.
- U.S. Education Secretary Linda McMahon stated California’s refusal to sign the federal resolution could cost the state $8 billion in federal funding.
- The standoff suggests a continuing clash over civil rights and legal interpretations, with California at risk of losing federal funds while defending trans athletes’ sports participation.
