#WontBeErased: Care for Our Trans, Nonbinary, and Intersex Community
Recently, a proposal in regards to reviewing the definition of sex under Title IX has been submitted under the current administration. If passed, it will define sex as what is assigned at birth and thereby, excluding the transgender, nonbinary, and intersex community from the protection of federal law.
A teach-in and rally below will hope to raise awareness about the issue to a wider public. Take a stand by joining these events.
