The US Supreme Court has blocked a Biden administration rule protecting students from gender identity discrimination. This decision is seen as a victory for Republican-led states and a setback for trans rights activists. The rule aimed to expand Title IX to include gender identity as part of sex discrimination in schools receiving federal funding. Legal challenges will continue in lower courts, with the issue being sent back for further review. Transgender rights have become a contentious political topic in the US.
