The Lone Star State has joined the ranks of the Republican states that have rejected the Biden administration's woke rewrite of Title IX. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) made expressly clear Monday that Texas will not be party to regulations that force schools to embrace radical gender ideology at the expense of girls.

"Title IX was written by Congress to support the advancement of women academically and athletically," Abbott noted in a letter addressed to President Joe Biden. "The law was based on the fundamental premise that there are only two sexes — male and female. You have rewritten Title IX to force schools to treat boys as if they were girls and to accept every student's self-declared gender identity."

Blaze News previously reported that under the new rules, sex discrimination is expanded to include sexual preferences and "gender identity." Sex-based harassment includes "harassment" on these bases.

The rules also bar schools from separating or treating people differently based on sex. The Biden Department of Education clarified that preventing "someone from participating in school (including in sex-separate activities) consistent with their gender identity causes that person more than de minimis harm."
