The Trump administration claims San José State University in California violated federal law by allowing a transgender woman to play on the women’s volleyball team. San José State lost the tournament final to Colorado State. The university settled the matter by banning trans athletes from women’s sports and stripping alum Lia Thomas, a trans woman, of her swimming titles. At the signing ceremony, he falsely suggested that trans athletes have won “more than 3,500 victories” and “invaded more than 11,000 competitions,” citing isolated cases while misrepresenting the reality of transgender participation in sports. Joe Biden's administration held that Title IX banned discrimination against trans women as well as cisgender women.
