US EditionUS threatens California with legal action over transgender sports law
CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, JUL 8 – The Trump administration claims California's policy allowing transgender girls in female sports violates Title IX and threatens legal action to enforce federal anti-discrimination laws.
- California has formally declined to agree to the U.S. Department of Education's resolution that mandates limiting participation in girls' sports exclusively to biological females.
- This refusal followed President Trump's February executive order restoring biological sex distinctions and came days after the Supreme Court announced related cases.
- California maintains its law allows students to participate consistent with their gender identity, while the federal department asserts this violates Title IX and threatens legal action.
- Education Secretary Linda McMahon criticized California’s decision as a refusal to uphold protections that prevent males from participating in women's sports and vowed to pursue efforts to reinforce Title IX’s nondiscrimination safeguards.
- The dispute risks costly federal funding losses for California and signals a potential prolonged legal battle over fairness, safety, and compliance with civil rights law.
