‘Political Decision’: Biden Admin Looks To Save Face By Delaying Trans Athlete Ruling To After Election: REPORT

President Joe Biden’s administration is reportedly halting the release of a Title IX rule that would require biological men to be allowed to compete in women’s sports until after the election due to the issue being unpopular with a majority of voters, The Washington Post reported Thursday.

In April 2023, the Department of Education released a proposed rule under Title IX, a landmark civil rights law, that would bar schools that receive federal funding from adopting a “one-size-fits-all-policy” prohibiting students from joining sports teams that don’t align with their biological sex.

The rollout of the rule has been delayed several times and two people familiar with the administration’s plans told the Post that another delay is likely coming as the issue is “too much of a hot topic” to release before the election in November.
