Evie Parts, a transgender long-distance runner and former athlete at Swarthmore College, has filed a lawsuit against the NCAA and her former college, alleging violations of state and federal law after she was removed from the women’s track and field team due to her gender identity. The case highlights ongoing controversies surrounding the participation of transgender athletes in women’s sports. Separately, the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) is under scrutiny for a closed-door decision to implement a "pilot entry process" intended to prevent displacement of girls by trans-identified boys at the California state track meet. Public records requests have revealed resistance from CIF’s legal representatives to disclose details about the decision-making process or the individuals involved. The CIF is also facing a federal civil rights investigation by the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights, as indicated by a directed investigation titled United States v. California Interscholastic Federation. These developments reflect broader national debates over transgender rights and sports participation policies.
