Sex & Gender

Joseph J. Fischel and Kyler Chittick argue that the academic left has ceded too much of the moral high ground when it comes to free speech.

The order says the United States will oppose “male competitive participation in women’s sports more broadly, as a matter of safety, fairness, dignity, and truth.”

Advocates for victims of sexual violence said the decision would put students at greater risk of harassment while conservative lawmakers and advocates applauded the move, arguing it would make students safer.

The executive order could eventually change how the federal government enforces Title IX and other laws, though there’s no immediate impact on colleges.

What it means to be an ally has changed, Chelsea Thompto writes.

The bill, which would forbid “a person whose sex is male” from playing on women’s sports teams, echoes legislation already in place in 26 states.

Republican state officials are celebrating the order as a “massive win,” but uncertainty looms for colleges as they respond to yet another Title IX change.
