DOJ to Renew Legal Challenge to California Transgender Sports Policy
Judge Cynthia Valenzuela said federal law did not clearly require California to bar transgender girls from female sports teams and dismissed the case with prejudice.
- On Monday, U.S. District Judge Cynthia Valenzuela dismissed a Justice Department lawsuit challenging California policies that allow transgender athletes to compete in school sports, ruling the state lacked clear notice of federal funding conditions.
- The Justice Department had threatened to cut $44.3 billion in federal funding from the California Department of Education, alleging that state policies on sports eligibility and facilities access violated Title IX.
- Valenzuela noted that Supreme Court rulings did not require schools to exclude transgender girls, and observed that federal officials "repeatedly gave materially different answers to how Title IX applies to transgender students."
- LGBTQ+ rights organizations praised the ruling, while a Justice Department spokesperson said the agency is "evaluating our options for appeal" regarding the decision.
- This case represented a broader President Trump administration effort to eliminate trans-inclusive policies nationwide, extending beyond sports to public bathrooms, medical care, and official government documents.
