WASHINGTON, D.C. – Rep. Earl L. “Buddy” Carter (R-GA) last November authored a letter to the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Department of Education (DOE) successfully urging them to investigate the California Community College Athletic Association’s (CCCAA) Transgender Participation Policy, which allows biological males to compete in women’s sports.

“As a grandfather to six granddaughters, it is unacceptable to allow biological males to compete against girls or share their locker rooms. The radical left’s decision to politicize this issue tears at the very fabric of women’s rights and everything previous generations fought to secure, said Rep. Carter.

Rep. Carter continues, “This anti-competitive agenda puts girls and women in harm’s way, both physically and mentally, robbing them of fair opportunities. Women deserve the right to compete on a level playing field against their biological peers, not to have that right sacrificed by politicians pandering to those with mental illnesses. I look forward to following this investigation to ultimately restore women’s sports to the way they should be: women against women.”

BACKGROUND

On February 5, 2025, President Donald Trump signed the Executive Order (EO), Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports, clearly stating that programs receiving federal funds must ensure that participation in women’s sports is limited to biological females.

The CCCAA’s Transgender Participation Policy directly conflicts with the EO, allowing biological males to compete in women’s sports.
