Thiab tsoomfwv Title IX txoj cai zam cov tsev teev ntuj los ntawm kev ua raws li txoj cai tiv thaiv kev ntxub ntxaug yog tias nws tawm tsam lawv txoj kev ntseeg.

Yuav luag txhua lub tsev kawm ntawv suav cov ntsiab cai ntawm kev ntseeg ua lub hauv paus rau lawv txoj haujlwm.

Transgender cov tub ntxhais kawm tshwj xeeb lub hom phiaj ntawm txoj cai

Cov cai no hu rau lub tsev kawm ntawv kom tsis txhob siv cov lus xaiv ntawm cov tub ntxhais kawm hloov pauv, neeg ua haujlwm, cov neeg ua haujlwm, pab dawb lossis cov neeg muag khoom cog lus.

"

Thaum cov neeg tuaj saib tau hnov qhov kev poob siab, Yahnke hais ntxiv: "Nyob rau hauv kev ua si lom zem, tau kawg."
Hais txog lub tsev kawm ntawv ntiav, Yahnke ntxiv rau kev qhuas: “Yog tias koj tus menyuam kawm qib ib, thib ob, thib peb, plaub, thib tsib, kawm tej yam, hais tej yam, nyeem tej yam uas yoov ntawm txoj kev ntseeg uas lawv tau muab los ntawm peb feem ntau. Tus Vaj Ntsuj Plig Dawb Huv, nws yog lub sijhawm txav lawv tawm ntawm tsev kawm ntawv pej xeem. "
