A new set of Title IX regulations will eventually cripple women’s sports, critics say, as rules which will likely allow transgender men to compete as women soon take effect. Regulations about sports participation “is still ongoing,” said the U.S. Department of Education, but any measure allowing schools to prevent biological males from participating in athletics against females is noticeably absent from the draft version.
“The Biden administration’s radical redefinition of sex turns back the clock on equal opportunity for women, threatens student safety and privacy, and undermines fairness in women’s sports,” said Rachel Rouleau, legal counsel for Alliance Defending Freedom.
“It is a slap in the face to women and girls who have fought long and hard for equal opportunities,” she said, which is why Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) plans to take action to defend female athletes, as well as school districts, teachers, and students who will be gravely harmed by this unlawful government overreach.”
The final regulations become active on Aug. 1. ADF is a ministry partner with IBSA.
