Key Points:

- Administration officials said the effort is meant to protect female athletes and stop what they call “gender ideology” in schools.
- LGBTQ advocates criticized the move as harmful and said it could lead to invasive checks and wasted public resources.
- The issue has become a major political fight, and Trump has already moved to block transgender women and girls from female sports.

The new Education and Justice team could use taxpayer money and staff time for more Title IX fights, and schools may face more pressure and legal risk.
