The Biden administration’s Title IX rule, which the Education Department published on April 29, is a looming disaster for women and girls.
Virtually every school in the nation that takes federal money will now have to allow boys who identify as girls to enter girls’ physical-education classes, locker rooms, showers and bathrooms.
Schools will be compelled to disregard the rights of women and girls in favor of a male’s subjective and sometimes temporary feelings.
It demands that students, teachers and administrators go along with the lies of gender ideology, which are harming countless students today. Anyone who resists will be exposed to investigations, punishment or firing.
Before this rule, the trend of men using women’s locker rooms, showers and bathrooms—and taking women’s titles, trophies and scholarships in athletic competitions—was only a partial reality, relegated to certain left-leaning states and school districts. No longer. With its sweeping decision to reinterpret “sex” discrimination to include “gender identity” in Title IX, the administration has opened the floodgates for males to enter female spaces nationwide.
Among the most obvious, this rule is lawless. It twists the language of Title IX, the landmark civil-rights law that created equal opportunities for women, by redefining the meaning of sex discrimination. The administration seeks to include the concept of “gender identity” within it—never mind that even today it is widely recognized that “sex” (based on biology) is very different from “gender identity” (based on subjective, internal perceptions).
The deal has to be this:
If you are a biological man who wishes to impersonate a woman, fine, we’ll respect your personal freedom of choice as long as you in turn agree to respect the rights of biological women and you do not cross the line and try to assert those same rights for yourself.
If you do not respect the rights of biological women, don’t expect respect for your personal freedom of passing yourself off as a woman.

They don't pass themselves off as women, they TRY to pass themselves off as a woman. It never works.
They expect us to participate in their delusion.
@Madeline12082wks2W
The transphobia is the real delusion
@Freedom762wks2W
"Transphobia" is one of the stupidest words in the English language, because "phobia" means "fear." None of us members of Team Sanity thinks transgenderites are scary – we think they're feeble and stupid and mentally insane weaklings.
@Madeline1208 2wks2W
"team sanity" is crazy
first of all, phobia means irrational fear OR hatred.
second of all, quit projecting your weakness onto me, you slime.
lastly, I have a Masters Degree in Engineering but I guess that isn't valid since I'm trans :)
@CampaignMayaPatriot2wks2W
Here is the big question:
Where, oh where, are the feminists? Just where is the National Organization for Women?
Their deafening silence on this issue exposes them for what they are, intellectual lightweights willing to bow to their progressive overlords as they implement insane transgender policies that damage the feminists' core constituency.
Shameful is too kind a word to describe this political cowardice.
@PollingTermiteForward2wks2W
The policy of allowing men to compete as women has a disparate impact on women. And if you follow the left's ideology, there shouldn't even be a difference between men's and women's sports. They should all compete in the same event. After all, the left claims there's no difference.

How can the president appease a tiny minority of mentally confused individuals at the detriment of half of our population?
@DrearyMallardVeteran2wks2W
By the large damaged group not speaking up which is the current case. The loudest voice is the "confused" voice.
@QuicheClaireUnity2wks2W
Stop treating “gender identity” as a civil rights issue; it is a mental illness issue. People afflicted with “gender identity” problems need medical care.
But they don't belong in women's locker rooms or on women's high school or college teams.
It is a mental illness issue, but it won't be fixed by medical care. The medical establishment bears a large responsibility for the problem, by deferring to corrupt organizations like WPATH, that churn out manufactured studies to promote the lifestyle.
This is a social contagion problem exacerbated by a culture of rabid narcissists who "celebrate" victimhood and have no concept of common decency.

The change to Title IX is shocking, but the current administration showed its hand when a transgender person was acclaimed Woman of the Year.
@Madeline1208 2wks2W
us trans people getting equal rights and opportunities is not infringing upon cis women and girls. grow up.
@Freedom762wks2W
If you need to prop up your false, delusional, "identity" by forcing everyone to celebrate it, that's a sign your "identity" is false, as well as sign that you're a narcissist.
@Madeline12082wks2W
when did I force anyone to celebrate my identity
if you're referring to the trans day of remembrance is a holiday to remember trans people who were murdered. Nobody asked you to celebrate it if you don't want
@Freedom762wks2W
Transgender people force everyone to celebrate their identity by demanding that we use made-up "pronouns" and crying if we don't. Also, loads of transgenderites are literally so hypersensitive that whenever anyone refuses to play along with their game, they threaten to commit suicide – the most narcissistic thing imaginable. And the notion that trans people are being murdered, or that there's a "trans genocide" in America is BS. When you actually examine the statistics correctly, and factor in everything, transgenderites are *SAFER* than the average white… Read more
