CygnalNondiscriminationMay 6–8, 2024whether Title IX should cover transgender women ('biological men who identify as women')
As you may know, Title IX is a landmark federal civil rights law enacted in the 1970s that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex and covers a wide range of areas including academic admissions, athletics, sexual harassment and employment. For decades, Title IX has been vital in opening doors for generations of women and girls.
The Biden Administration recently changed Title IX rules without a vote of Congress. Their updated rules require colleges and universities to grant biological men who identify as women the same rights as biological women. Knowing this, do you agree or disagree that Title IX should apply to biological men who identify as women?
