9⃣ We're frustrated that the new #TitleIX rule does NOT cover trans, intersex, & nonbinary students' inclusion in school sports. But even without an explicit athletics rule out yet, we know Title IX protects LGBTQI+ athletes. This court case proves it: aclu.org/cases/bpj-v-we…

Trump-era policies were always TRASH and now they are IN the trash 🗑️

Thank you Secretary Miguel Cardona for listening to our Know Your IX activists & thousands of young survivors, LGBTQ students, and pregnant & parenting students who've organized for these new Title IX rules for years.

One of the biggest updates to Title IX that we won in the new rules Biden issued today is they clarify that LGBTQI+ students deserve protection too.

Title IX bans sex discrimination in schools. And guess what? That includes sexual orientation & gender identity and always has!
