The Trump administration has expanded a Title IX investigation into Maine over allowing a biological male to compete in girls’ sports, now including a key athletics association and a controversial high school case.
Key Facts:
- The U.S. Health and Human Services (HHS) expanded a Title IX probe in Maine in March 2025.
- The investigation targets the Maine Principals’ Association and Greely High School.
- A biological male athlete won a girls’ statewide track and field championship, sparking controversy.
- Maine risks losing significant federal education funding over Title IX violations.
- Maine Governor Janet Mills intends to challenge the Trump administration’s directive in court.
The Rest of The Story:
The Trump administration expanded its Title IX investigation due to allegations that Maine violated an executive order requiring schools to prevent biological males from participating in female sports competitions.
HHS cited Greely High School, where a biological male athlete recently won a statewide championship in girls’ track and field. The Maine Principals’ Association, responsible for overseeing high school athletics, is also under investigation.
Maine Governor Janet Mills defended the state’s transgender policy, saying it aligns with state human rights law and vowed to challenge any federal attempt to withhold funding.

Commentary:
Allowing biological males into female sports was always destined to fail.
It undermines fairness and opportunities for young female athletes.
The Trump administration is doing exactly what’s needed to restore common sense to girls’ sports.
Girls who work hard and dedicate themselves deserve fair competition, not to lose opportunities because males have a physical advantage.
Maine’s refusal to protect female athletes sends a dangerous message: political ideology matters more than fairness and justice.
Federal enforcement of Title IX is crucial to protect women’s athletics nationwide from harmful policies.
If action isn’t taken now, we risk permanently damaging opportunities and fairness in girls’ sports, something future generations would surely regret.
The Bottom Line:
Maine’s inclusion of biological males in girls’ athletics has sparked federal action threatening millions in education funding.
The Trump administration is standing firm, defending fairness for female athletes.
This issue may set a precedent, shaping women’s sports policies nationwide for years.
