It’s disappointing, but not surprising. The same guidance existed under the Obama administration and when Trump reversed it, I’m not sure if much really changed. I don’t think it make a big difference now, but I do worry about the future. Some amount of trans young people have used bathrooms for many years without much coming of it, but it was really small group of people and it was kept very quiet. I really don’t like how all this is being politicized because laws in either direction won’t fix it. States are trying to pass laws to ban it, but many involve invasive genitals checks and will probably never become an actual practice, but the people doing it think it is popular politically. States and cities that were already allowing it will still be allowing it and those that weren’t probably hardly have any trans students anyway. I do want girls who are negatively impacted to sue though so maybe the courts can clarify Title IX to be only about sex.
