That ambiguity stems from this sentence in the law known as Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972:
"No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance."
A debate has raged through U.S. courts around whether "sex" includes sexual orientation and gender identity.

What is the problem with her answer? Her response was to follow the law(s) as written, not to "interpret" them. The question repeatedly asked was an attempt to get a sound bite.
Why there is a debate on whether "sex" includes sexual orientation and gender identity is purely political in nature. There are two sexes with regards to humans: Male and Female. Sexual orientation just indicates which of the two sexes you prefer to bugger, and gender identity is a psychiatric disorder.
