The Biden administration expanded the definition of sex to include transgender with its Friday release of updated Title IX rules.
The new rules, only pertaining to sexual harassment and discrimination portions of Title IX, expand protections for LGBTQ+ and pregnant students while overhauling Trump-era guidance around how schools should handle sexual assault cases, CNN reported.Title IX is the 1972 law prohibiting sex discrimination in educational programs that receive federal funding.
The updated rules follow the Supreme Court's 2020 Bostock v. Clayton County decision in which Trump-appointed Justice Neil Gorsuch included transgenderism and sexual orientation under "sex" in federal discrimination law. "Title IX promises that no person experiences sex discrimination, including sex-based harassment, or sexual violence in federally funded education."
