Advocates Say A Proposed Change To Title IX Rules Are A “Betrayal” To Trans Rights And Could Bar Trans Athletes From Competitive Sports

The Biden administration proposed new regulations that would prohibit schools from totally banning transgender athletes from participating in sports but would allow schools to bar some trans players in competitive high school and college sports.

The proposal, which was met with mixed reactions from both transgender activists and Republican legislators, came shortly after the Supreme Court ruled to allow a 12-year-old trans girl to continue competing in track and cross-country as a challenge to West Virginia’s ban makes its way through the courts.
