Overview

  • The DOJ filed suit on July 9 under Title IX, alleging California’s policy permitting transgender girls on female sports teams constitutes sex discrimination.
  • Federal officials warn they could pull about $44.3 billion in annual education grants under Title IV if California does not reverse its 2013 law.
  • This lawsuit follows a June warning from the Department of Education and California’s own preemptive suit challenging federal attempts to rescind its policy.
  • California defends its decade-old law after athletes and advocates pointed to trans high school champion AB Hernández’s performances at state track finals.
  • Governor Gavin Newsom’s administration maintains a separate legal action against the DOJ, arguing the federal challenge infringes on state rights and transgender inclusion.
