#Maine governor criticizes #Trump administration for freezing funds amid #transgender athlete dispute: ‘It’s not rational’
By Alyssa Vega Globe Staff,Updated April 14, 2025
"Maine #GovernorJanetMills criticized the Trump administration on Monday just days after it moved to cut all federal #education funding to the state. The move came in response to Maine’s refusal to enforce the administration’s directive to ban transgender athletes from competing in women’s sports.
In an interview on MSNBC’s 'Morning Joe' Monday, Mills said the state received a series of letters from federal agencies, culminating in an April 2 letter from Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, which the Maine governor described as 'appalling' in tone and substance. Mills said the next day Rollins threatened to pull all education funding to the state." 'Because there are maybe two — at most — two transgender athletes competing in Maine schools right now, they decided to shut off funding for our school nutrition program, the school lunch program entirely, on which 172,000 Maine school #children rely for their school meals. That didn’t make any sense,' Mills said. "

"According to Reuters, enforcing his ban 'may be difficult' for Trump 'to enforce', being that his current options 'range from looking at birth certificates, which can be altered, to inspecting the bodies of children, an alternative that most would find unpalatable at best'.
"Transgender athlete Chris Mosier, who also spoke to the publication, has since responded: 'Anti-trans school sports bans are difficult to enforce because they rely on #SexTesting and #BodyPolicing for implementation and enforcement.
"'An increased scrutiny on athletes' bodies creates serious harm to all women and girls who are perceived as 'more masculine' due to being #queer, #intersex, or otherwise out of alignment with narrow, white-centric norms of femininity.'" [Or those of us with higher androgen levels naturally! 🤚🏼 ]
