A group of transgender and nonbinary state lawmakers is warning that President Biden’s proposed changes to Title IX don’t do enough to counter the nationwide push to prohibit trans athletes from competing in sports.
In a letter to Mr. Biden on Monday, 14 Democratic lawmakers from statehouses across the country said, “There is no such thing as an acceptable ‘compromise’ that limits transgender Americans’ access to equal rights.”
The Education Department introduced a proposed change to Title IX student athletic eligibility that would ban all-out “transgender bans” introduced by some Republican-led legislature but would let schools bar some male-born students who identify as female from girls’ and women’s sports over safety and fairness concerns.Penny Nance, CEO of Concerned Women for America, said the proposed rule fails to protect female athletes from having to compete with biological males.
The lawmakers contend that Republican-led legislatures have introduced “over 450 pieces of anti-trans legislation” in 2023 alone, including sports bans in 20 states aimed at barring trans athletes from women’s sports.
