3C2A policies allow “a trans[gender] female…or non-binary student-athlete who has completed at least one calendar year of testosterone suppression treatment…[to] compete on a women’s team.” A “transgender female” is actually a biological male. The Department of Education (ED) is investigating 3C2A for violating Title IX by allowing males on female teams, per a Jan. 15 press release.

ED received complaints about three female athletes who accused 3C2A of discrimination after a male athlete was welcomed to a college’s women’s volleyball team and allowed into female locker facilities during the 2024-2025 school year. That is no longer allowed by
