The Department of Education has initiated Title IX investigations into the California and Minnesota sports governing bodies following President Trump's anti-trans executive order, which prohibits trans women from competing in women's sports. Despite both organizations pledging to follow state anti-discrimination laws, the Trump administration asserts the executive order takes precedence. This move highlights ongoing conflicts between federal directives and state policies regarding gender equality in sports, raising significant questions about the interpretation of Title IX and its impact on trans athlete participation.
The executive order, which GLAAD says has "zero credibility protecting women and girls", bans trans women from competing in women's sporting events.
The Minnesota State High School League and the California Interscholastic Federation are free to engage in all the meaningless virtue-signaling that they want, but at the end of the day they must abide by federal law.
