Trump administration sues California over transgender athletes in schools

CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, JUL 10 – The lawsuit alleges California’s transgender athlete policies violate Title IX and risk losing up to $44 billion in federal education funding, the Justice Department said.

  • On Wednesday, the Justice Department sued California, alleging its policies allowing transgender girls in sports violate Title IX.
  • Following the DOE investigation launched earlier this year, California’s transgender-inclusive sports policies were found to violate Title IX, with findings announced in late June.
  • According to the DOJ, California has 10 days to accept a resolution or face funding cuts, with CIF policies affecting over 750,000 athletes and requiring sex-based definitions and annual compliance checks.
  • Following California’s refusal to comply, it risks losing up to $44.3 billion in federal funding, potentially setting a nationwide precedent on transgender athlete policies.
  • In the broader context, the lawsuit is expected to reach federal court, potentially shaping nationwide transgender sports policies amid signals of increased enforcement from the Department of Justice.
