Libby Emmons sits down with Alleigh Marre, executive director of the American Parents Coalition, to break down a year-long investigation into YMCA summer camp policies that assign housing based on gender identity rather than sex — sometimes without informing parents. Marre explains how the YMCA, which reports stewarding $600 million a year in federal funds from agencies like HHS, HUD, and the Department of Education, is required to comply with Title IX, yet continues to blur sex-based protections for kids and staff alike.

The conversation covers the legal mechanics of Title IX and how the Biden administration's reinterpretation reshaped enforcement, the real consequences for girls in sports and camp settings, and why the girls who quietly get squeezed out of teams and opportunities may be the biggest hidden cost of all. Marre and Emmons also discuss the cultural shift asking dads to get more involved, the practical steps parents can take (from sample letters to legislator scripts), and why organizing as a group of parents is more effective than going it alone.
