The state of Connecticut’s policy allowing male-to-female transgender athletes to compete in girls’ high school sports is a civil rights violation, the U.S. Department of Education has ruled.
The Associated Press reports that the federal education department determined that Connecticut’s policy violates Title IX, which protects women’s ability to receive equal opportunity in education, including athletics.
The U.S. Department of Education’s letter to Connecticut says the state has “denied female student-athletes athletic benefits and opportunities, including advancing to the finals in events, higher level competitions, awards, medals, recognition, and the possibility of greater visibility to colleges and other benefits.”
The state was already being sued federally for its transgender athlete policy. That’s because two biologically male runners, Terry Miller and Andraya Yearwood, finished first and second respectively in the Connecticut girls’ 55 meter dash state championship last year.

You'd think that Connecticut's AG, William Tong, would have figured this out for himself and his state's women and girls, but he's too busy campaigning and doing the PC work of the gender bending (i.e., gender pretending) Democrat party.
Finally!!! Some common sense!
Those medals and trophies won by pretend females competing in actual female sports should be recalled and given to those who are the real winners, those who faithfully trained for and had a lawful expectation to compete in gender-fair athletics.
