The plaintiffs argued that the Biden administration's interpretation of Title IX betrayed the law's original purpose of prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sex.
The new rules disallow discrimination or harassment of students based on their gender identity, offering stronger protections for transgender students but without mandating access to single-sex facilities or teams.
Republican attorneys general and Judge Doughty expressed concerns that the rule might compromise the privacy and safety of female students by allowing biological men who identify as female into gender-specific facilities.
The rule implies that schools could create a hostile environment if they deny transgender students access to facilities or fail to acknowledge their preferred gender identity, subjecting them to Education Department investigations.
