For Immediate Release: July 9, 2025 | Contact: [email protected]
Washington, D.C. – Concerned Women for America (CWA), the nation’s largest public policy women’s organization, strongly supports the Trump Administration’s lawsuit against the California Department of Education (CDE) and the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) for violations of Title IX. The lawsuit, filed today in the U.S. District Court, Central District of California, seeks an injunction against California’s policy allowing biological males to compete in girls’ sports, a practice that undermines fairness and equal opportunities for female athletes.
The Trump Administration’s action addresses the detrimental impact of California’s policies, which permit athletes to participate in sports based on so-called gender identity rather than biological sex. These policies have resulted in female athletes being displaced from podiums, denied awards, and deprived of critical opportunities for college scholarships and recognition. The lawsuit also highlights the violation of girls’ privacy in shared spaces, like locker rooms, creating a hostile educational environment.
“California’s policies blatantly disregard the biological realities that Title IX was designed to protect, robbing young women of fair competition and safe spaces,” said Penny Nance, CEO and President of Concerned Women for America. “We commend the Trump Administration for taking bold action to defend the rights of female athletes. Girls deserve the opportunity to compete on a level playing field and to have their privacy respected. This lawsuit is a critical step toward restoring fairness and upholding the integrity of women’s sports.”
CWA has long advocated for the protection of women’s rights under Title IX, emphasizing the importance of maintaining sex-based protections in athletics. The organization calls on the CDE and CIF to reverse their discriminatory policies and comply with federal law to ensure equal opportunities for all female student-athletes.
