That’s why Congress must pass my Title IX Clarification Act . The bill defines “sex” under Title IX as biologically male or female. It gives schools, states, parents, and students a clear federal standard and prevents future administrations from reinterpreting the law around gender identity. Put plainly, the Title IX Clarification Act makes biological sex the nationwide standard for schools receiving federal money.
