Biden Administration’s Plan for Transgender Title IX Protections Faces Backlash

President Biden’s plan for transgender Title IX protections has faced criticism from some lawmakers and conservative groups. The plan, which began on Inauguration Day, aims to expand protections for transgender students and athletes in schools and colleges.

However, a proposal from the White House that would bar schools and colleges from banning transgender athletes has caused a stir. Critics argue that the proposal will give transgender athletes an unfair advantage in sports competitions.

South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem has warned the Biden administration that she will take legal action against the proposed regulations. In a statement to Fox News, Noem said, “We’ll see you in court.”

Meanwhile, some progressives have criticized Biden for not going far enough on trans rights issues. MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow argued that Biden’s compromises are a “step back” from his previous promises.

The San Francisco Chronicle also took aim at Biden’s handling of trans issues, calling on him to “stop being cute” and get tougher on the matter.

As the debate over transgender Title IX protections continues, it remains to be seen how the Biden administration will move forward.
