OCR determined that CIAC's policy of allowing transgender girls (individuals assigned a male sex at birth but identifying as female) to compete on female athletic teams discriminates against women in violation of Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 (Title IX). Unless the CIAC and school districts come into compliance (such as through a resolution agreement with the agency), OCR stated that it will either suspend financial assistance to them or refer the matter to the Department of Justice (DOJ) for judicial proceedings. This dispute reflects broad disagreement over how Title IX should apply to transgender athletes, an issue that is also being litigated in the federal courts. Recently, in Bostock v. ChVton County,, Georgia, the Supreme Court held that discrimination against gay and transgender individuals violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, which bars employment discrimination because of ... sex. The Bostock case will inform how courts construe Title IX's prohibition on sex-based discrimination in education, including their analyses relating to transgender athletes in particular. This Legal Sidebar examines OCR's decision, its statutory context, applicable regulations, case law, and previous guidance from OCR. It also discusses how Bostock may inform judicial assessment of the status of transgender athletes under Title IX.
