Sen Collins makes stance on trans athletes in women's sports clear as Maine bucks Trump's executive order
Fox News
Republican Senator Susan Collins weighs in on Maine's trans-athlete controversy.
Ryan Gaydos is a senior editor for Fox News Digital.
"I believe that the State of Maine is under scrutiny because of the state law that allows biological males to play in girls’ sports. And that is contrary, not just to the President's executive order, but what I believe is the very spirit and intent of Title IX, which was to provide sports and other athletic activities to girls in a safe and fair way," Collins wrote.
The state refused to comply with President Donald Trump’s executive order to keep biological males from competing in girls’ and women’s sports. The Health and Human Services Department’s Office of Civil Rights referred the state’s "noncompliance with Title IX" to the Justice Department on Friday.
