The Trump administration initiated investigations in February, targeting the california Department of Education (CDE) and the California Interscholastic federation (CIF) for endorsing policies that contravene federal antidiscrimination laws. Despite Governor Gavin Newsom acknowledging the unfairness of such practices, California has continued to permit these competitions, leading to potential enforcement actions if compliance is not achieved.  <\/p>\n<p>The proposed Resolution Agreement requires the CDE and CIF to amend their policies to prevent males from competing against females and to adhere to biological definitions of gender. Additionally, it seeks to restore any sports records, titles, and awards that were wrongly awarded to transgender athletes. The article emphasizes the importance of upholding Title IX protections for women and the implications of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-justice-department-pick-helped-kill-pipeline-favored-by-key-senator\/\" title=\"Biden Justice ...

The state must swiftly come into compliance with Title IX or face the consequences that follow.&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Not only does California allow men to compete against women, but it also allows them to use women&rsquo;s private facilities like restrooms and locker rooms, forcing those women to endure undressing in front of men and witness the men undress as well.<\/p>\n<p>The Education Department has proposed a Resolution Agreement that would require the CDE and CIF to change their policies and no longer discriminate against women, and has given the entities 10 days to comply. If California does not comply, as has <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/04\/16\/ag-bondi-sues-maine-to-keep-men-out-of-womens-sports\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">been the case in similarly situated states like Maine<\/a>, the state would see &ldquo;imminent enforcement action&rdquo; and likely be elevated to the Department of Justice for further proceedings to hold them accountable.<\/p>\n<p>Under the Resolution Agreement, CDE and CIF would be required to tell federal funding recipients that &ldquo;operate interscholastic athletics programs&rdquo; they must enforce Title IX rules and, specifically, forbid males from competing against females and adopt definitions of &ldquo;male&rdquo; and &ldquo;female&rdquo; based on biology, instead of ideology.<\/p>\n<p>The notice would also require California to recognize that <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >federal civil rights law supersedes state law<\/a> that systematically enforces discrimination against women, and the CDE and CIF would be required to rescind all guidance telling local entities to allow males in women&rsquo;s sports.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the legal changes, the state entities would also need to restore sports records, titles, and awards given to trans-identifying males to the female who rightfully won them. The CDE would also need to send a letter to each female it allowed to be beaten by a male to apologize for allowing that to happen.<\/p>\n<p>In a June 18 <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/06\/18\/in-landmark-skrmetti-case-justice-thomas-demolishes-the-expert-class\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">case<\/a> regarding the genital mutilation and chemical castration of children in the name of claiming to be &ldquo;transgender,&rdquo; the U.S. Supreme Court recognized that the refusal of trans interventions to a minor who believes he is &ldquo;transgender&rdquo; is not the same thing as discrimination on the basis of &ldquo;biological sex.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Justice Clarence Thomas also destroyed the &ldquo;expert class&rdquo; narrative sold to Americans to market a whole host of falsehoods, including the lie that those kinds of medical interventions are good for children, or that anyone who claims to be a different gender is actually that different gender.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">\n<div class=\"article-author-description fst-italic\">      Breccan F.
