A group of nearly 70 House Republicans introduced a bill on Wednesday to reverse the Biden administration’s changes to Title IX forcing public schools to allow trans-identifying males to compete in women’s sports and use women’s bathrooms.
Representative Mary Miller (R-IL) led 67 of her GOP colleagues in the House in introducing the bill, which would nix the changes.
Miller called the administration’s new regulations a “blatant violation” of Title IX’s protections for women.
“Joe Biden is undermining years of progress women have made in securing their rights under Title IX,” Miller said in a statement.
“For more than half a century, Title IX has protected women and girls, ensuring they have equal opportunities in education,” the congresswoman said. “However, the Biden Administration is putting our girls at risk by allowing men to access women’s and girls’ bathrooms and locker rooms. This divergence is a blatant violation of the protections Title IX was meant to guarantee, and it undermines the very foundation of women’s rights and security in their private spaces.”
Last month, Miller had a heated exchange with Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra over transgender medical interventions for minors during a House committee hearing.
