Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice
Abstract
The note examines the legal and political landscape surrounding transgender students' rights, particularly under Title IX, following the withdrawal of Obama-era guidelines by the Trump administration. This withdrawal has led to significant legal confusion and variability in protections across jurisdictions. The analysis suggests that advocating for antibullying policies may offer a more effective strategy for advancing transgender rights, especially in conservative states, by avoiding direct confrontation with gender identity issues.
