Concerns Over Title IX Guidance Changes

The redefinition of sex under Title IX to include gender identity raises significant concerns regarding the loss of protections for women and girls. The guidance allows any individual to access sex-segregated spaces based solely on self-declared gender identity, which could lead to potential risks for women. Critics argue that this change in interpretation violates the Administrative Procedure Act by bypassing necessary public input and evidence-based considerations. The shift has been seen as a threat to the privacy and safety of women in spaces that have traditionally been protected as female-only.
