A coalition of 18 Republican-led states has filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration, challenging new federal Title IX regulations that provide protections for transgender individuals in educational institutions. The lawsuit, led by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, seeks a preliminary injunction and a stay of the Biden administration's proposed Title IX rule. The states argue that the changes unlawfully remove protections for women. Additionally, a split Eleventh Circuit panel upheld a ruling in favor of a transgender county sheriff's deputy in Georgia, affirming that denying insurance coverage for gender-affirming care violates federal anti-discrimination law. This ruling aligns with the Biden administration's updated Title VII guidance. The legal battles reflect broader conflicts over transgender rights and anti-discrimination protections in the US. Moreover, 15 states are suing the Department of Education over changes to Title IX, and several states are rallying against the EEOC's policy on workplace harassment.
