On Wednesday night the Trump administration rescinded Obama-era guidance directing schools to allow transgender students to use bathrooms that match their gender identity as part of Title IX policy.

The new policies do not give any additional federal guidance, rather they place emphasis on state and local decisions regarding how they want to handle access to bathrooms and locker rooms.

Some have interpreted the move as an attack on transgender youth, and several athletes have spoken out in support of transgender students.
