"San Jose State has stood firm against the bully boys in D.C. In 2020, in a 6-3 majority opinion written by Justice Gorsuch, the High Court ruled that transgender and gay employees were protected by Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which bans workplace discrimination 'because of ... sex.' Since Title IX also bans discrimination 'because of sex,' this time in public education, most legal analysts determined that transgender women were also protected by its rules."
"As San Jose President Cynthia Teniente-Matson wrote in an open letter: 'We have followed the law and cannot be punished for doing so.' Indeed, a main point raised by the Cal State lawsuit notes that the Trump administration cannot reach back in time to alter established legal protections."
The California State University System has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration for demanding that San Jose State revise records to exclude a transgender athlete, Blaire Fleming. The administration threatened to withdraw federal funding if the university did not comply. San Jose State has resisted these demands, citing legal protections for transgender individuals under Title IX and previous Supreme Court rulings. The lawsuit emphasizes that the Trump administration cannot retroactively alter established legal precedents regarding discrimination based on sex.
