Trump's Energy Department proposes dismantling parts of Title IX allowing girls on boys' teams

The Trump administration is pushing to dismantle parts of Title IX—a landmark 1972 civil rights law—that currently allow girls to compete on boys' sports teams. While the administration has framed this as a move targeting transgender athletes, legal experts warn it could also hurt cisgender girls who rely on these provisions to access competitive sports. The Department of Energy is leading the charge, signaling a broader shift in how Title IX protections are enforced.
