Just in case you wondered where the RNC stands on all these bathroom bills that target transgender students by prohibiting them from using the bathroom that best aligns with their gender identity, the RNC has you covered with this official policy resolution on Title IX and gender identity.
Whereas the RNC heterosplains that "sex" is "determined at conception, identified at birth by a person’s anatomy, recorded on their official birth certificate, and can be confirmed by DNA testing" and condemns the federal government's "overreach" in finding that "Title IX’s sex discrimination prohibition extends to an individual’s chosen gender identity," here is what the RNC resolved last month:
RESOLVED, The Republican National Committee calls on the Department of Education to rescind its interpretation of Title IX that wrongly includes facility use issues by transgender students;
RESOLVED, The Republican National Committee encourages State Legislatures to recognize that these Obama gender identity policies are a federal governmental overreach, a misinterpretation of Title IX policies, and an infringement upon the majority of students’ Constitutional rights; and
RESOLVED, The Republican National Committee encourages state legislatures to enact laws that protect student privacy and limit the use of restrooms, locker rooms and similar facilities to members of the sex to whom the facility is designated.
Just to be clear, they want state lawmakers to reject the federal government's interpretation that transgender students are protected under Title IX and enact legislation that explicitly discriminates against those students.
