What does the law mean by the word “sex”? On Driving Home the Faith, Ken Craycraft speaks with Cincinnati attorney Philip Williamson of Taft Law about the Supreme Court’s recent decisions in B.P.J. v. West Virginia and Hecox, and how those rulings interact with the Court’s controversial 2020 decision in Bostock v. Clayton County.

They discuss the distinction between Title IX, which governs sex discrimination in education, and Title VII, which addresses employment discrimination, and why the Court has treated the meaning of “sex” differently under the two laws. They also explore whether future cases could continue to narrow the practical impact of Bostock, the importance of consistency in interpreting the law, and the role of truth and courage when courts are confronted with questions about biological sex and gender identity.
