Former President Trump vows to ban transgender athletes in sports, potentially altering Title IX.

Former President Donald Trump expressed his intention to ban transgender athletes from competing during his 2024 campaign. While the reality is more complex, Trump could impact transgender athletes' rights by changing Title IX interpretations. The Biden administration protected LGBTQ+ students under federal law, but Trump might redefine "sex" based on birth-assigned gender, affecting trans athletes. The number of actively competing transgender athletes is low, but around half of U.S. states have already restricted their participation.
