Department of Education Will Restore Title IX Protections to LGBTQ+ Students 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Biden administration has restored protections for trans students
against discrimination on the basis of gender identity and sexual
orientation. The move reverses the Trump administration's exclusion of
trans students from protections under Title IX, a 1972 federal law
barring discrimination on the basis of sex.
