The Trump administration's U.S. Department of Education has ruled that California's trans-inclusive policies for athletics violate Title IX, asserting that allowing trans girls on girls' teams disadvantages cisgender female athletes. California has been ordered to revoke these policies and adopt a binary biological definition of sex within 10 days, risking federal education funding if noncompliant. State officials argue that their stance is rooted in a commitment to equality for all students, including trans youth, amidst this federal push. The Department has also chosen to mark June as 'Title IX Month,' overshadowing traditionally recognized Pride Month.
