The Trump administration has filed a lawsuit against California's Department of Education, alleging that its policies allowing transgender girls to compete on girls sports teams violate Title IX, the federal law prohibiting sex-based discrimination in education. The Justice Department contends these policies are unfair and undermine opportunities for biological girls. Criticism has arisen as transgender athletes have been observed winning titles in competitions, leading to accusations of violating the Equal Protection Clause. California's longstanding law permits students to engage in sex-segregated programs based on gender identity.
The lawsuit filed by the Justice Department says California's transgender athlete policies violate Title IX, the federal law that bans discrimination in education based on sex.
These discriminatory policies and practices ignore undeniable biological differences between boys and girls, in favor of an amorphous 'gender identity.'
The results of these illegal policies are stark: girls are displaced from podiums, denied awards, and miss out on critical visibility for college scholarships and recognition.
Trump criticized the participation of a transgender high school student-athlete who won titles in the California track-and-field championships last month.
