Because Title IX frames gender ideology as an anti-discrimination issue, schools will not have to seek parental permission for children to participate in lessons on choosing and changing one’s sex.
The rules will also grant children an absolute right to use school facilities and to participate in activities “consistent with their gender identity.”
The rule may even be used to threaten parents who do not affirm their child’s chosen identity.
The regulations claim to apply to conduct that occurs “outside [the school’s] education program or activity.” This means that schools may label parental conduct at home as “discriminatory.”
A parent that refuses to use a child’s preferred pronouns, declines to fill a prescription for puberty blockers, or decides to not send a gender-confused child to an affirming therapist, is “discriminating” against his or her child, according to these rules.
