Active U.S. Courts of Appeals

Neese v. Becerra

The Biden administration is pushing to redefine 'sex' in the civil rights law known as Title IX to include 'gender identity.'

Summary

Texas doctors are challenging a Biden administration mandate that forces doctors to perform harmful medical procedures that seek to alter a patient’s biological sex even if the procedure violates the doctors’ medical judgment or religious beliefs. That mandate depends on Title IX, a federal statute that the administration is also interpreting to require women to compete against men on women’s sports teams.
