The bill, approved by the House education committee, states that Title IX only applies to one’s actual sex, after the Biden admin ‘reinterpreted’ the law to include ‘transgender’ identities.
WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeSiteNews) — The U.S. House of Representatives Education and Workforce Committee has voted 18-15 to advance legislation solidifying in federal law that Title IX refers only to biological sex rather than “gender identity.”
In 2021, the U.S. Department of Education under former President Joe Biden issued a guidance to educators that its Office for Civil Rights interpreted Title IX, the longstanding set of rules against sex discrimination in public education, to also cover “sexual orientation and gender identity” (SOGI).
The Trump administration has since reversed Biden’s gender rules and adopted a biology-based framework for interpreting “sex”’ in Title IX.
“To avoid the loss of a fair opportunity, males must not compete in the female categories of sport,” the report concluded.
