The U.S. Department of Education is reminding schools and colleges across the country that complaints of sex-based discrimination must be handled according to the traditional definition of sex—recognizing only male and female sexes.

In a “Dear Colleague” letter published Friday, the Education Department clarified that it will be enforcing the Trump administration’s 2020 Title IX regulations, which interprets “sex” to mean the “objective, immutable characteristic of being born male or female.”
