Among the many policy changes from the Obama administration to the Trump white house has been how the federal non-sexual discrimination law, Title-IX, applies to transgender students. The Obama administration directed schools to allow transgender students to use restrooms and locker rooms according to the gender they identify with, or risk losing federal funding. The Trump administration rescinded those protections and has left Title-IX interpretation to states and individual school districts. Jane McMillan discusses the law, and its impact on transgender students, with Asaf Orr, the Transgender Youth Project Staff Attorney for the National Center for Lesbian Rights.
