The Biden administration has released its sweeping revision of the Trump-era Title IX changes that will force national schools to adhere to a radical transgender agenda.
Biden’s changes will expand federal gender equality rules to include transgender ideology and relax the Trump administration’s due process requirements for students accused of misconduct.
The proposed rules would expand the ban on gender discrimination and fix the transgender agenda to include assumed sexual and natural gender identity. Current Title IX rules do not mention transgender people.
“The changes we propose will fully protect students from any form of gender-based discrimination and make clear that these protections include discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity, rather than limiting certain protections to just sexual harassment,” he said. .

If implemented, the claim allegedly, all federally funded schools would be compelled to allow male plaintiffs access to women’s locker rooms and restrooms, and schools would be forced to allow male plaintiffs to enter women’s lockers, and schools would be forced to allow male plaintiffs to enter women’s sports teams. This would go against the growing number of states that ban trans women from playing school sports with born girls.
Currently, 13 states have laws that prohibit transgender female athletes from participating in some degree of high school sports. It has nine more similar laws enacted or existing regulations that have not yet entered into force.
A conservative civil liberties group denounced Biden’s proposed changes, saying the new rules “deprive women and girls of equal opportunity in athletics by requiring schools to allow biological males and females to compete with female athletes.”
In a letter to Education Minister Miguel Cardone, the group said traditional gender discrimination would be “illegal” under the rule.
“For schools, this means that women’s sports teams, restrooms and locker rooms are open to anyone recognized as a woman, and vice versa,” the letter said. “Under the ministry’s new rules, it will be illegal to segregate sports teams based on biological sex. If a high school student claims to have “identified” as a girl, the school should allow girls to enter the locker room while the girls are undressing, or enter the girls’ bathroom to share facilities with their peers. Any attempt to prevent it would be discriminatory conduct prohibited by Title IX.”
The groups also warned that Biden’s proposal would remove “the fundamental procedural safeguards that have been the foundation of established civil rights law for centuries.”
They point to Biden’s new guidelines that would greatly undermine the rights of students accused of sexual harassment or misconduct, and would allow colleges to refuse to review students accusing them and even refuse to hear cases live. In addition, schools will have the power to investigate and punish students for incidents that occur outside of school property where the school has no effective legal jurisdiction. In addition, school superintendents will be allowed to decide the outcome of a case, rather than simply collecting facts and evidence. All these provisions violate the rights of the accused and violate the American principle of “innocent until proven guilty”.
Biden’s proposal will now be subject to a sixty-day comment period and the public will have the opportunity to comment before the decision is finalized. This process will take months to complete, and if Congress changes hands in November, the conservative-led legislature could end it.
