Reject discriminatory Title IX bill harming transgender rights

The proposed rules package that redefines gender solely on the basis of "biological sex" under Title IX is a direct attack on the rights and wellbeing of transgender individuals. This regressive proposal would strip away crucial protections for transgender students, jeopardizing their access to education, athletics, and basic amenities like restrooms that align with their gender identity. It promotes discrimination and marginalizes an already vulnerable community. As a society, we should be moving forward in embracing diversity and ensuring equal opportunities for all, not rolling back hard-won civil rights victories. I urge you to stand firmly against this harmful rules package and any efforts to legitimize bigotry against transgender people. We must uphold the values of equality, compassion, and respect for human dignity. Fight this injustice and protect the rights of your transgender constituents in Maryland.
