Trump administration sues California over transgender athletes in schools
CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, JUL 10 – The lawsuit alleges California’s transgender athlete policies violate Title IX and risk losing up to $44 billion in federal education funding, the Justice Department said.
- On July 9, 2025, the Justice Department, under the Trump administration, filed a lawsuit against California’s education authorities, challenging the state’s policy that permits transgender girls to participate in female school sports.
- The lawsuit followed a federal Education Department investigation earlier this year that concluded California violated Title IX and refused to adopt required policy changes within a given deadline.
- The complaint argues these policies disregard biological sex differences, causing girls to lose awards and scholarship opportunities while raising concerns about fairness and safety.
- Attorney General Pam Bondi affirmed that the Department of Justice remains committed to ensuring fair opportunities for female athletes in sports, highlighting the significance of the case.
- This lawsuit is part of a wider national initiative by the Trump administration, which has pursued similar legal actions and warned states that they may lose federal financial support if they maintain comparable policies.
