The Title IX legal provision was originally designed to minimize discrimination based on sex. But today, some say it could be used to do just the opposite, as the Biden administration introduces amendments to the law that would put biological male (transgender) athletes in the same category as women. Among those pushing back against the proposed changes is Rep. Kat Cammack (R-Fla.) who wants to, in part, see the definition of a woman codified into law to protect women’s rights.
“I think when you talk about what Congress can do legislatively, it’s ensuring that these definitions aren’t changed to accommodate the whims of a political agenda,” Cammack told NTD Evening News. She added that Republicans want to ensure Title IX really protects women’s sports for biological women.
