The U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights has confirmed that Title IX not only prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex, but that this includes protection against discrimination on the basis of gender identity and sexual orientation. If you feel you have experienced such discrimination, you can make a report to the Equal Opportunity and Access Office.
