States Sue to Block Biden's Title IX Changes, Citing Threats to Women's Sports and Privacy

Republican-led states argue that the new Title IX rules, which extend protections to transgender students, undermine women's rights and privacy in schools.

15 states have filed lawsuits against the Biden administration's Title IX amendments, claiming they endanger women's sports and privacy.
The new rules, set to take effect in August, expand protections to include gender identity, sparking legal challenges.
Critics argue the rules could allow biological males access to female sports and facilities, threatening safety and fairness.
Supporters of the rules say they are essential for protecting transgender students from discrimination and harassment.
The legal battle highlights a deep divide over the interpretation of sex discrimination and the scope of Title IX protections.
