California violated Title IX by allowing trans athletes on girls’ teams, Trump administration says

US education agency's resolution proposes barring trans women from women's sports and stripping them of prizes

The Trump administration has found that the California department of education and the state's high school sports federation violated civil rights law by allowing transgender girls to compete on girls sports teams.

The federal education department announced the finding Wednesday and proposed a resolution that would require California to bar transgender women from women's sports and strip transgender athletes of records, titles and awards. It's the latest escalation in the Republican administration's effort to bar transgender athletes from women's sports teams nationwide.
