Biden Administration Expands Title IX Protections to Include LGBTQ+ Students
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Biden administration has updated Title IX rules, codifying the
rights of transgender students and undoing some of the Trump-era
rollbacks to the landmark civil rights law. The new rules expand sex
discrimination and harassment to include LGBTQ discrimination as
Republicans around the country escalate attacks on transgender children.
The new rules also increase protections for pregnant people and
survivors of sexual assault in schools.
