Reject Discrimination Against Transgender Students Under Title IX

To: Sen. Hickenlooper, Rep. Hurd, Sen. Bennet

From: A constituent in Pueblo, CO

January 7

This legislation seeks to narrowly define "sex" based solely on reproductive biology and genetics at birth for the purposes of Title IX compliance in athletics. However, such a rigid definition fails to account for the diversity of human experiences and identities. Discrimination against transgender students not only stigmatizes a vulnerable minority group but also contradicts medical consensus on gender identity as a complex interplay of biological, environmental, and personal factors. Moreover, the practical implications impact a minuscule number of individuals. Rather than promoting fairness through blanket restrictions, an inclusive approach centered on each student's unique circumstances would better uphold Title IX's spirit of equal educational opportunities. This legislation's unintended consequences risk eroding hard-won civil rights protections and emboldening further assaults on the dignity of transgender Americans. I urge you to consider these valid concerns and oppose this bill to prevent harm to our nation's youth and democratic values.
