U.S. Department of Education Rules California's Transgender Athlete Policy Violates Title IX

[ArabellaScott]

'The U.S. Dept. of Education has found California in violation of Title IX for letting males compete in girls’ sports. CDE & CIF must restore records, titles & awards to female athletes AND send apology letters to every girl robbed by this discrimination. '

'WASHINGTON (AP) — 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.
If California rejects the proposal, the Education Department could move to terminate the state’s federal education funding.
“The Trump Administration will relentlessly enforce Title IX protections for women and girls, and our findings today make clear that California has failed to adhere to its obligations under federal law,” Education Secretary Linda McMahon said. “The state must swiftly come into compliance with Title IX or face the consequences that follow.”

Title IX is a 1972 law forbidding sex discrimination based in education.'

There are more states mentioned in the replies that are in violation of Title IX. I hope that these states are forced to comply with Title IX, as it does sound like they won't give up their ideological stance without penalties (or the threat of serious ramifications).

Edit - just read your second post, I will go and read that article now.

This will be interesting to watch roll out. Thank you, Arabella.

Good. It’s madness

I wonder if less men will want to identify as women as they're increasingly less welcome.

It's a good question. When they can wear whatever they like, but they have to wear it into the men's loos, compete in men's sports and not have corporations fawning over their bravery and stunningness all the time, I suspect we'll be left with a genuinely dysphoric minority.

And the problem for them is, will women be minded to be kind and turn a blind eye again? Because having seen where that leads, I don't think I would be.

If California rejects the proposal, the Education Department could move to terminate the state’s federal education funding.

That's one hell of a consequence, where would they get the money from to fill what would be a huge hole? I know there are a lot of rich people in California but they are not exactly fans of paying taxes to either Federal or State Government.
