Oh for sure, and I'm not meaning to downplay the impact there. I'm speaking very strictly on the tightness of the legal argument.

"I have shown that this person is transphobic" may not necessarily convince a judge, whereas "I have shown that this person is discriminating on the basis of sex in blatant violation of Title IX" is a legal slam dunk.
