The Biden administration on Friday withdrew their amendment to Title IX that would have forced schools to allow biological males to play in women’s sports.
The department said that it “recognizes that there are multiple pending lawsuits related to the application of Title IX in the context of gender identity, including lawsuits related to Title IX’s application to athletic eligibility criteria in a variety of factual contexts. In light of the comments received and those various pending court cases, the Department has determined not to regulate on this issue at this time.”
This comes as multiple lawsuits have been filed for Title IX violations against teams with biological males on them or against biological male athletes.
