In the Trump administration's latest anti-transgender action, the U.S. Departments of Justice and Education Friday announced a Title IX Special Investigations Team to investigate what they call “the pernicious effects of gender ideology in school programs and activities.” By that they mean acceptance of transgender students, and LGBTQ+ organizations are condemning the move.
In a press release, they claimed they have received “a staggering volume of Title IX complaints.” Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 bans sex discrimination in educational programs that receive federal funding. Democratic administrations have interpreted it to include discrimination based on gender identity, but the current administration has adopted a strict binary definition of sex as assigned at birth.
The effort is in keeping with Donald Trump’s executive order with the binary definition of sex, erasing trans, nonbinary, and intersex people, and his “No Men in Women’s Sports” order, threatening loss of federal funding to any school that allow trans girls and women to compete in female sports.

It's your administration's attempts to erase trans, nonbinary, and intersex people that are going to have pernicious effects! 
I HATE this. It goes hand in hand with his efforts to remove any evidence of the contributions of everyone except white people from our history. He's really trying to erase everyone who isn't a cis het white male, and of course people whose genders don't conform to the traditional M/F binary are first in the line of fire!
