minnesota trans athletes title ix trump administration.

President Donald Trump’s administration has accused Minnesota of violating federal law by allowing transgender athletes to compete in girls sports. The U.S. Departments of Education and Health and Human Services claim this breaches Title IX, which prohibits sex discrimination. The agencies found that transgender athletes have participated in various girls sports, including skiing and lacrosse. The administration initiated this investigation after Trump issued an executive order in February. The Minnesota State High School League has stated it will follow state law, not the executive order. The federal agencies have given the state 10 days to comply or face enforcement action.
