Title IX Clarification Act of 2026

This bill changes Title IX — the law that prevents sex discrimination in schools that receive federal funding — by adding specific definitions for the words "sex," "female," and "male." Under the bill, "sex" would mean only a person's biological sex, defined as either male or female based on their reproductive system. "Female" is defined as a person whose reproductive system naturally produces or is designed to produce eggs, and "male" is defined as a person whose reproductive system naturally produces or is designed to produce sperm. The summary also notes that a January 2025 executive order already stated it is U.S. policy to recognize only two sexes, and the Department of Education announced it would enforce Title IX in line with that order.
