Title VII of the Civil Rights Act was interpreted by SCOTUS (in an
opinion written by Gorsuch) to mean that discrimination on the basis of
sexual orientation or gender identity in the workplace discriminates on
the basis of sex. This interpretation of Title IX mirrors that logic.
For example, you can't deny admission to a school because someone is gay
or trans. Prior to this regulation, you could under federal law.
Also, this regulation does not imply that boys must be allowed to use
the girls' bathroom or men must be allowed to compete in women's sports.
Prior to this regulation, neither was permitted even though both treat
boys/men differently than girls/women. Privacy, safety and the integrity
of women's sports justified treating the sexes differently. It may also
be the case under the new regulation that denying trans women access to
the woman's bathroom or women's sports are also justified.
