Cybersecdn– Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody continues to spearhead the opposition against the proposed changes to Title IX laws by the Biden administration. Title IX, established in 1972, serves as a cornerstone in the fight against sex-based discrimination in educational institutions receiving federal funding. The Biden administration’s plan to expand these protections to include transgender individuals, specifically biological men identifying as female, has triggered significant backlash.
The controversy, which ignited in 2022 with the Department of Education’s proposal to redefine sex to encompass “gender identity,” has only intensified over time. Attorney General Ashley Moody stands at the forefront of this opposition, joined by 25 Republican governors and state attorneys general. Together, they have called on the Biden administration to retract its proposed changes to Title IX.
Moreover, the resistance against the Biden plan has translated into legislative action across various states. A growing number of states, now totaling 23, have implemented laws prohibiting gender transitioning among children. Additionally, 10 states have outlawed pronoun mandates, while 23 states have enacted legislation safeguarding women’s sports from transgender athletes.
Public sentiment, as evidenced by recent polls, underscores the widespread disapproval of the Biden administration’s proposed alterations to Title IX. A survey of 1,600 respondents across party lines reveals strong support for state laws delaying transgender treatments for children until the age of 18: Republicans (73%), Independents (71%), and Democrats (61%). Over the past two years, a consistent majority of voters have expressed opposition to the expansion of Title IX to allow biological men to compete in female sports.

Attorney General Ashley Moody’s steadfast leadership in this opposition underscores the gravity of the issue and its far-reaching implications for civil rights and educational equality.
