The federal government is formally objecting to Connecticut's requirement that boys who "identify" as girls be allowed to compete against girls in high school athletics.
"They are incorrect. Title IX and its implementing regulations prohibit discrimination solely 'on the basis of sex,' not on the basis of transgender status, and therefore neither require nor authorize [the state's] transgender policy," explains a legal filing in a lawsuit over the dispute.
The complaint against the state, Soule v. Connecticut Association of Schools, was brought by female high school athletes and their mothers.
