Following a court setback, the Biden administration and conservative activists are both gearing up for a battle over a proposed reinterpretation of Title IX guidance designed to protect transgender students.

The Education Department‘s directives offer protections from discrimination based on gender and sexual orientation and would have extended protections for transgender people to use locker rooms and bathrooms in schools, as well as join sports teams that correspond to their gender identity. However, conservatives have pushed back, arguing that the guidance violates the Administrative Procedures Act as well as the First and 10th amendments.
