"The Trump administration's targeting of school admissions marks an expansion in its attacks on transgender people, which have included preventing transgender athletes from competing in sports congruent with their gender identity."
The U.S. Department of Education is investigating Smith College for its admission of transgender students, asserting that this practice violates civil rights protections for cisgender women. The Trump administration argues that allowing transgender women into women's colleges raises concerns about privacy and fairness. This investigation is part of a broader effort to restrict transgender rights, including limiting participation in sports and access to gender-affirming care. The Department claims that Title IX protections apply only to biological sex differences, not gender identity.
