President Trump's administration is launching investigations into universities and athletic organizations for alleged Title IX violations related to transgender athletes. Critics argue that the move is less about protecting women's sports and more about restricting transgender rights.
President Donald Trump hands out pens to audience members after signing an executive order banning trans women and girls from women's sports, in the East Room at the White House on February 5, 2025, in Washington, D.C.into San Jose State University’s volleyball team, the University of Pennsylvania’s swimming program, and the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association over possible Title IX violations related to transgender athletes .
Critics, however, say the move is less about protecting women’s sports and more about restricting transgender rights. “This bill is framed as protecting women and girls’ rights, when it does anything but that,”, raising questions about whether it is retroactively enforcing the new directive — which would be an unusual departure from standard practice.
“Schools have the responsibility of standing up for their students and should push back against these orders,” Chapman said.
Our task is formidable, and it requires us to ground ourselves in our principles, remind ourselves of our utility, dig in and commit. As a dizzying number of corporate news organizations – either through need or greed – rush to implement new ways to further monetize their content, and others acquiesce to Trump’s wishes, now is a time for movement media-makers to double down on community-first models.
