North Carolina just passed such a law.

There is no "decree." It's legal advice from the DoJ, suggesting how to handle transgender students without getting sued.

Nothing in Title IX or civil rights laws OR the Charlotte ordinance says that "anyone can use any bathroom any time they want." Title IX says that men and women / boys and girls in entities that receive federal funds must have the same facilities; civil rights laws which protect on the basis of gender include transgender individuals; the Charlotte ordinance did not declare a free-for-all on bathrooms.

The Governor of North Carolina denies that Title IX protects on the basis of transgenderism. It is not, as he has pointed out, a protected class. Which is why he has called upon Congress to act.
