The Biden administration’s proposed rules governing transgender participation in collegiate sports entirely undermines the spirit of Title IX and threatens to roll back the tremendous progress the U.S. has made in promoting female athletics in recent decades, according to a new report drafted by the Independent Women’s Forum.

The second edition of the 2021 report, Competition: Title IX, Male-Bodied Athletes, and the Threat to Women’s Sports, obtained by National Review, examines the legal underpinnings and likely effects of two proposed Department of Education rules and finds that they constitute an all-out assault on Title IX, which bans sex discrimination in federally funded institutions and therefore requires colleges to spend equally on men’s and women’s sports.
