Maine successfully countered President Trump's executive order that aimed to ban trans athletes from competing in female sports, a move he threatened would result in the withholding of federal funds. Governor Janet Mills achieved a settlement that not only allowed Maine to retain crucial child nutrition funding but also labeled Trump's threats as illegal. Mills proudly proclaimed this decision a victory for the state and a step forward for trans rights amidst an ongoing national debate surrounding gender and sports.
Governor Mills characterized the legal outcome as a triumph, stating, "It's good to feel a victory like this. We took him to court and we won."
