LGBTQ+ Students Would Get New Protections Under Biden’s Proposed Changes To Title IX
Despite these changes, it’s worth adding that Biden’s proposal largely left the controversial issue of transgender athletes in women’s and girls’ sports unaddressed, as reported by TIME.
“The department recognizes that standards for students participating in male and female athletic teams are evolving in real-time,” Cardona noted. “That’s why we decided to do a separate rule-making on how schools may determine eligibility while upholding Title IX’s non-discrimination guarantee.”
While putting the conversation off for a “separate rule-making” process, the Biden Administration’s proposal notably clarifies that “preventing someone from participating in school programs and activities consistent with their gender identity would cause harm in violation of Title IX.”
NEW: The Biden Admin released long-awaited proposed changes to Title IX, which codify protections on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity.
However, the proposal puts off addressing trans athletes’ participation in sports
