The debate over whether it is fair to allow transgender females to compete in sports against athletes of the same gender they identify with continues to spark outrage. Whether about high school, college or the professional level, the discourse has been fervent.

In April, the Biden administration rolled out new Title IX regulations to expand the meaning of sexual discrimination to include gender identity that would prevent schools and colleges from banning transgender athletes. Under the department’s proposed rule, no school or college that receives federal funding would be allowed to impose a "one-size-fits-all" policy that categorically bans transgender students from playing on sports teams consistent with their gender identity. Such policies would be considered a violation of Title IX.

This week, Dave Brown, a high school girls tennis coach in Oregon, cited the Title IX policy in a social media video announcing his decision to step down from his position.
