01 · The brief
Plain-English summaryWhat this bill actually does

This bill (Keep Our Girls Safe Act of 2025) amends Title IX compliance to require that locker room use in education programs be limited to individuals whose sex is determined solely by reproductive biology and genetics at birth. It makes it unlawful under Title IX for an individual whose birth sex differs from the room's occupants to use that locker room when it is in active use by members of the other birth sex.

Why people may split

Progressives emphasize discrimination and harm to transgender students

Watch point

Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill sets a clear substantive rule (limiting locker room use under Title IX to sex as determined at birth) but is concise to the point of omitting many implementation-relevant specifics.
