<p>The Biden administration proposed new regulations on Thursday that would prohibit <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/education" target="_blank" rel="noopener">schools</a> enforcing blanket bans on <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/gender" target="_blank" rel="noopener">trans-identifying</a> males in girls sports.</p>
<p>The education department&#8217;s Title IX <a href="https://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/docs/t9-ath-nprm.pdf?utm_content=&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_name=&amp;utm_source=govdelivery&amp;utm_term=" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rules</a> state that schools that receive federal funding may not ban biological males in girls sports wholesale, but they may exclude them on a case by case basis.</p>
<p>“The proposed rule … recognizes that in some instances, particularly in competitive high school and college athletic environments, some schools may adopt policies that limit transgender students’ participation,” the education department said.</p>
<p>However, the proposal would give schools “the flexibility to develop their own participation policies,” the department added.</p>
<p>&#8220;Sex-related criteria&#8221; at schools that would limit or ban a trans-identified student from playing on the team of their preferred gender must meet two standards. First, the criteria must be related to an &#8220;important educational objective,&#8221; and second, the criteria must also &#8220;minimize harms&#8221; to the trans-identified student.</p>
<p>Preventing sports-related injuries would be an example of an &#8220;important educational objective&#8221; the department noted.</p>
<p>High school girls have been injured playing with trans-identifying males. Last year in North Carolina, a female high school volleyball player <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/news/female-high-school-volleyball-athlete-suffers-serious-head-injury-after-transgender-player-throws-abnormally-fast-ball/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suffered</a> severe trauma to her head and neck after a trans-identifying player spiked a volleyball at her head.</p>
<p>Another example of an &#8220;important educational objective&#8221; would be &#8220;fairness in competition.&#8221;</p>
<p><b><a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-9096" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://onelink.to/dwapp&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1680795232291000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2P5VXRE91chuqYyZnEBGLw">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP</a></b></p>
<p>&#8220;Fairness in competition may be particularly important for recipients in some sports, grade and education levels, and levels of competition,&#8221; the department said.</p>
<p>Female athletes at high schools and colleges in several states have spoken out against being forced to compete against biological males.</p>
<p>In Connecticut, several high school girls <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/news/high-school-students-file-lawsuit-to-block-transgender-athletes-in-connecticut/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">filed</a> Title IX claims in a federal lawsuit in 2020, arguing that competing against trans-identifying males made them miss their chances at championship titles, state records, and scholarship opportunities.</p>
<p>Parental rights advocates slammed the proposed regulations as too vague, saying the rules will scare off schools from trying to enforce any limits on males in girls sports.</p>
<p>&#8220;The Biden Administration is trying to have their cake and eat it too: inject gender identity into athletics while placing the onus upon school districts to determine whether doing so would be problematic or not,&#8221; said Nicole Neily, president and founder of Parents Defending Education.</p>
<p>&#8220;Without a doubt, institutions are going to err on the side of ‘inclusion,’ because they fear the wrath of the Education Department &#8211; thus, achieving the Department’s end goal while allowing them to maintain plausible deniability that they coerced districts into doing so,&#8221; Neily said.</p>
<p>Erika Sanzi, the group&#8217;s director of outreach, called the administration a &#8220;gender czar,&#8221; saying they are &#8220;putting school districts in an impossible position.&#8221;</p>
<p>Transgender activists, meanwhile, reacted with <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2023/04/06/trans-athletes-school-sports-title-ix/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">concern</a> that the rule gives too much leeway to schools that are looking to ban trans-identifying males from competing with girls.</p>
<p>The proposal will now be subject to public comment, during which it is almost guaranteed to face challenges from critics.</p>
<p>If approved, the rules would apply to all public K-12 schools, as well as colleges and universities that receive federal funding.</p>
