LGB is literally not about sex or even sex presentation. Trying to use Title IX to protect sexual orientation is invalid legal creep. There are other reasons not to discriminate based on sexual orientation. (And, legally, it's prohibited by state laws; some states have them, while others don't.)
Title IX protects against discrimination based on sex, which to me reads as innate characteristics or needs. That doesn't read to me like you can sex-swap, either via pretending, hormones, and/or through surgeries that only superficially change primary sex characteristics... and then create all sorts of drama, and claim discrimination if people around you want to get on with whatever academics or sports or business without catering to your special T/Q physiological or linguistic needs or preferences.
- slg 4y agoSam is attracted to men. Is Sam gay or straight? Or can you not answer that question without knowing Sam's gender? The sexual orientation categories we generally use only exist as a pair of the person's own gender and the gender to which they are attracted. Therefore discrimination based on sexual orientation is inherently discrimination based on sex (really gender, but the law typically uses sex) because a change in sex would change their orientation.
