Maine said it wouldn't break state law to follow President Donald Trump's order barring transgender girls from playing girls' sports. Then came a barrage of investigations and threats targeting the state's federal funding.
The article discusses how former President Donald Trump's administration is attempting to influence Maine's policies regarding transgender rights through legal and political pressure. Specifically, it highlights a case involving two transgender girls in Maine who were barred from participating in sports consistent with their gender identity, leading to a lawsuit against the state. The Trump administration, through six federal agencies, has intervened by filing briefs and statements in support of barring transgender girls from girls' sports, arguing that such policies align with Title IX interpretations that do not recognize gender identity. This intervention is seen as part of a broader strategy to enforce a conservative interpretation of gender and sports participation, potentially setting a precedent for other states. The involvement of these agencies underscores the administration's use of federal power to challenge state-level decisions on transgender issues, aiming to enforce a nationwide policy against transgender participation in sports.
