The Guam Education Board has passed a resolution aligning with the Trump Administration's efforts to ban transgender athletes from competing in girls' sports, following a warning from Attorney General Doug Moylan that non-compliance could result in the loss of millions in federal funding.

“Transgender athletes whose gender identity does not align with their biological sex at birth shall not be allowed to compete in sports events under the Guam Department of Education Interscholastic Sports Association," read GEB chairman Angel Sablan of a proposal to adopt the policy. Upon voting, the motion carried, with Sablan confirming the concept will now become part of the ISA constitution.

It's the latest resolution passed by the GEB, formally amending the Interscholastic Sports Association constitution to align with the president' executive orders banning transgender athletes from participating in girls’ sports. While ISA already defines gender based on sex assigned at birth, the resolution seems to serve as a formal reaffirmation of that policy.

The move follows the AG's compliance guidance, with Moylan cautioning the potential loss of roughly $170 million in federal funding.  “They recently just passed a resolution - took that resolution, and sent it back to the White House and the Department of Justice to let them know that this farther, most U.S. soil jurisdiction is in compliance not only with the president, but supports this issue in our community," he said.

Meanwhile, the Trump Administration announced a lawsuit against Maine for refusing to enforce the federal ban on transgender athletes. This comes on the heels of Maine governor Janet Mills' publicly challenging the executive order.

KUAM News previously spoke with Governor Lou Leon Guerrero, who was present when Mills vowed to take the issue to court, commenting, “There are people who want to go into a transition from one gender to the other, and I think that’s their decision and that’s what we should respect.”

Attorney General Moylan has since criticized Governor Leon Guerrero’s stance, calling it “dangerous to our welfare.” At the national level, US Attorney General Pam Bondi has also warning that Minnesota and California could be next to be sued. In response, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison filed a preemptive lawsuit against the Trump Administration to block similar actions.
