Abstract

The article advocates for a broader interpretation of Title IX to protect transgender and intersex individuals from discrimination in educational settings. It argues that the current legal framework's rigid binary understanding of sex and gender is outdated and harmful, and that discrimination based on gender identity and expression constitutes sex discrimination under Title IX. The author emphasizes the need for legal adaptation to recognize the fluidity of sex and gender.
