A federal judge has blocked President Trump’s executive order restricting gender-affirming healthcare for transgender youths, stating it could be “horribly dangerous” for this vulnerable population. The administration is expected to appeal the decision. This comes a day after the Department of Education announced a Title IX investigation into the California Interscholastic Federation for allowing transgender high school athletes to compete in girls’ sports.
In response, Trump has signed orders recognizing only male and female sexes and attempting to end federal support for gender transition care for people under 19. The administration also authorized a Title IX investigation into high school sports in California and Minnesota. Legal battles are ongoing in Seattle and Baltimore over Trump’s orders.
The NCAA has stated it will comply with Trump’s executive order banning transgender female athletes from playing on women’s teams, reversing previous transgender eligibility policies. San José State faced opposition from conference opponents when allowing a transgender woman to play on its women’s volleyball team last fall.
The California Family Council praised the investigation into the CIF, accusing them of prioritizing gender ideology over fairness in women’s athletics. A former CIF athlete expressed joy over the investigation, citing harm caused to female athletes by the CIF’s policies. The investigation comes after controversies in Riverside involving transgender athletes competing in girls’ sports. The Trump administration’s actions have been praised by families involved in these disputes.
