Trump administration says Maine’s transgender athlete policies violate Title IX

The Trump administration ruled that Maine violated Title IX by allowing transgender athletes to compete in girls' sports, interpreting it as discrimination against female athletes, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Maine's Attorney General's Office was notified of the alleged violation shortly after an investigation began into the Maine Department of Education on February 21.
Governor Janet Mills stated, "We'll see you in court," indicating her administration's readiness to challenge the federal government's decision.
Nearly all Republicans and 67% of Democrats believe transgender women should not compete in women's sports, reflecting widespread support for the Trump administration's stance on gender in athletics.
