Trump Administration Launches Title IX Team to Enforce Transgender Athlete Ban

The newly formed Special Investigations Team will expedite Title IX cases, targeting states and institutions defying federal directives on transgender participation in women's sports.

The Title IX Special Investigations Team (SIT) was announced by the Departments of Education and Justice to handle a growing number of Title IX complaints.
The SIT will focus on enforcing President Trump's executive orders banning transgender athletes from participating in women's sports and restricting federal recognition to biological sex.
Federal funding has been paused for non-compliant states like Maine, which continues to allow transgender athletes in women's sports despite federal directives.
The SIT comprises personnel from the Education Department's Office for Civil Rights, the DOJ Civil Rights Division, and other specialized offices to streamline investigations.
Critics, including LGBTQ+ advocacy groups, argue the initiative targets transgender individuals and misuses taxpayer resources, while supporters frame it as protecting women's rights.
