Today is the 48th anniversary of Title IX!
48 years ago, we received the right to equal educational opportunities regardless of gender thanks to Title IX and the tireless work of Bernice “Bunny” Sadler, Rep. Edith Green, and Rep. Patsy Mink.
But almost 50 years later, the rights afforded under Title IX are still just rights on paper and not in practice for many of our transgender siblings.
We've seen wins in federal courts for trans workforce, but trans students are still fighting for their rights in schools.
As survivors, our fight for Title IX must include the rights of trans students. That's why our #HandsOffIX petition demands schools uphold the rights of trans students outlined in previous guidance.
Support the fight for trans rights under Title IX by petitioning your school to uphold the 2016 guidelines. If your school already has a petition set up, go sign it and share it!

Stay tuned for more ways you can take action to protect the rights of trans students––we're just getting started!!!
