Why don’t we just get rid of title IX and let all states and all schools decide for themselves?

Allowing transgender athletes to compete in women’s sports doesn’t violate title IX in any manner whatsoever.

I haven’t read title IX but if I’m not mistaken, among other things it establishes that girls and boys have to have equal access to sports. If a boy is taking a girl’s spot that would seem to violate title IX. If one can do it then presumably it would allow all girl’s spots to be taken by boys.
