Biden proposes rule for transgender student athletes that allows for some restrictions

Biden proposes rule for transgender student athletes that allows for some restrictions, opposes categorical bans


The Biden administration proposed Thursday a new federal rule change that would allow for schools to enforce some restrictions on transgender student athletes, but opposes policies that “categorically” ban those students from participating on sports teams consistent with their gender.

“The proposed rule would establish that policies violate Title IX when they categorically ban transgender students from participating on sports teams consistent with their gender identity just because of who they are,” according to a public notice from the US Department of Education.

“The proposed rule also recognizes that in some instances, particularly in competitive high school and college athletic environments, some schools may adopt policies that limit transgender students’ participation,” it continued.

This is what I dont understand.
Why would he write such restrictions to only apply to transgender people and single us out for?
Especially while republicans call for the genocide of transpeople.
