Following President Trump's executive order banning trans women and girls from competing in women's sports, the U.S. Department of Education has launched investigations into various institutions for potential Title IX violations. Critics view these actions as a strategy to intimidate schools into compliance rather than a genuine effort to protect women's sports. There are concerns regarding the investigations’ retroactive enforcement and lack of formal complaints, raising questions about their legitimacy and the broader implications for transgender rights in educational settings.
These frivolous investigations are meant to serve as fear tactics to ensure future compliance from universities, said LGBTQ legislative researcher Allison Chapman.
This bill is framed as protecting women and girls' rights, when it does anything but that, stated Shiwali Patel from the National Women's Law Center.
The investigations follow President Donald Trump's anti-trans executive order barring transgender athletes from competing in women's sports.
Critics argue the move is less about protecting women's sports and more about restricting transgender rights.
