Summary
The constitutionality of President Trump's executive order banning transgender athletes from girls’ sports faces a legal challenge from New Hampshire students. The order, which reverses protections established under the Biden administration’s Title IX guidance, mandates compliance from states or they risk losing federal education funding. The U.S. Department of Education has initiated investigations into California's CIF and Minnesota's athletic associations for potential Title IX violations. Some states plan to uphold their laws on gender identity, directly opposing the executive order, while advocates argue that it discriminates against transgender individuals, sparking a national conversation on gender rights in sports.
