The U.S. Department of Education is launching a Title IX investigation into the California Interscholastic Federation's policy on transgender athletes following a federal court's temporary restraining order against Trump's executive order limiting gender-affirming healthcare for transgender youth. U.S. District Judge Brendan A. Hurson emphasized the dangers of denying health treatments to an already vulnerable population. Several states are contesting the executive order as an attack on transgender rights, with the legal fallout likely escalating to higher courts, especially the Supreme Court.
Hurson said during a hearing that stopping health treatments for transgender people would be 'horribly dangerous for anyone, but particularly for this extremely vulnerable population.'
Trump has signed orders to officially recognize only male and female sexes that are 'not changeable' and to attempt to end federal support for providers of gender transition care for people under the age of 19.
Attorneys general in Washington state, Minnesota and Oregon will argue that Trump's order on gender-affirming care represents an attack on transgender youths and their families.
