Trump administration sues Maine over participation of trans athletes in girls sports
WASHINGTON – The Trump administration said on Wednesday that it is suing the Ministry of Education in Maine to not comply with the government to ban sexually transformed athletes in girls’ sports, which is escalating in the dispute over whether the state is committed to a federal law that prohibits discrimination in sex on the basis of sex.
The lawsuit follows weeks of administration between the republican administration and the Democratic government, Janet Mills, which led to threats to cut decisive federal financing and chance in the White House when I told the president: “We will see you in court.”
“We will continue to struggle for women.”
Trump departments in education, health and humanitarian services said that Maine is violating the Anti -Discrimination Law in the ninth Federal Chamber by allowing sexually transgender girls to participate in girls’ teams.
The lawsuit reflects a flagrant philosophical turn from the position in issues of sexual identity that was taken during the democratic departments.
During the era of President Joe Biden, the government tried to expand civil rights policies to protect transgender people. In 2016, the Ministry of Justice, which was led by the Prosecutor of Loreta Lynch, filed a lawsuit against North Carolina for a law that requires transgender people to use toilets and general shower that corresponds to the genus of their birth certificate.
Maine officials refused to agree with a settlement that would prevent sexually transformed students from sport, on the pretext that the law does not prevent schools from allowing sexually transgender athletes with participation.
Trump signed an executive order in February, “keeping men from women’s sport”, which gave federal agencies a wide range to ensure that entities that receive federal funding adhere to ninth clubs in agreement with the interpretation of his administration of “sex” where sex was assigned with someone at birth.
Trump has joined the signing of this matter by Gens and other mathematics who were supporting a ban. Gyans tied with a transgender athlete for fifth place in the NCAA 2022 championship and witnessed the lawmakers across the country on this issue. She and others framing the issue as women’s rights.
During a February meeting with the conservatives, Trump threatened to withdraw federal funding from Maine if the state does not comply with his executive order. Mills replied, “We will see it in court.”
Maine filed a lawsuit against the administration this month after the Ministry of Agriculture said that it was stopping some money for the state’s educational programs because of what the administration claimed that Maine failed to comply with the ninth title law. On Friday, a federal judge ordered the administration to cancel the freezing money allocated to the child feeding program in Maine.
“It prevents schools from allowing girls and women transgender women to participate in girls and women’s teams.”
Questions about the rights of transgender people have become a major political issue in the past five years.
Twenty -six states have laws or policies that prevent sexually transformed girls from girls ’school sports. Also, the countries controlled by the Republican Party prohibits gender sexual care for sexually transformers and restricting the use of pigeons in schools and sometimes other public buildings.
In the 2024 race, Trump carried a campaign against the participation of athletes transgendering in sports. As a president, he signed executive orders to do so and used a rigid definition of sex, instead of sex, for federal government purposes. The orders are challenged in court.
