The Biden Administration is enacting new Title IX rules to stretch the definition of sexual discrimination to include gender identity. This change is intended to prevent schools and colleges from prohibiting biological men from competing in women’s sports.
The proposed change would mean that no educational institution that receives federal funding would be able to implement policies that ban transgender students from participating in sports teams that align with their chosen identity.
The White House issued a press release explaining the proposed change:
“The proposed rule would establish that policies violate Title IX when they categorically ban transgender students from participating on sports teams consistent with their gender identity just because of who they are. The proposed rule also recognizes that in some instances, particularly in competitive high school and college athletic environments, some schools may adopt policies that limit transgender students’ participation. The proposed rule would provide schools with a framework for developing eligibility criteria that protects students from being denied equal athletic opportunity, while giving schools the flexibility to develop their own participation policies.”
Education Secretary Miguel Cardona touted the change, arguing that it would promote more inclusion in sports.
“Every student should be able to have the full experience of attending school in America, including participating in athletics, free from discrimination. Being on a sports team is an important part of the school experience for students of all ages,” Cardona said. “Beyond all the benefits to physical and mental health, playing on a team teaches students how to work hard, get along with others, believe in themselves, and build healthy habits that last a lifetime. Today’s proposed rule is designed to support Title IX’s protection for equal athletics opportunity. We welcome and encourage public comment on the proposed regulation and will continue working to ensure Title IX’s effective protection for all students.”
This one will most definitely throw more gas on the dumpster fire that is the debate over transgender issues. Aside from the effort to push transgender ideology in the classroom, the issue of biological males competing in women’s sports has been one of the most hot-button issues related to gender identity.
Proponents of this idea argue that it is more inclusive to allow transgender females to play the sport aligning with their gender identity. They argue that the physical differences do not give them an advantage over their competition.
On the other side, sane people recognize that the notion that biological men have no significant strength advantage over biological women is about as crazy as a soup sandwich. They argue that allowing this is unfair to biological female athletes who work hard to hone their skills only to be beaten by men.
Nicole Neily, president of Parents Defending Education, a parental rights advocacy group, issued a statement in which she accused the Biden Administration of trying to use its position to compel schools to abide by progressive gender identity:
“The Biden Administration is trying to have their cake and eat it too: inject gender identity into athletics while placing the onus upon school districts to determine whether doing so would be problematic or not. Without a doubt, institutions are going to err on the side of ‘inclusion,’ because they fear the wrath of the Education Department – thus, achieving the Department’s end goal while allowing them to maintain plausible deniability that they coerced districts into doing so.”
Well, there you have it. Let the fireworks begin.
If I wanted to see college women’s sports-level skills, I’d go watch a boys high school game.
Any schools covered by Title IX will simply eliminate all distinctions between “men” and “women.” They’ll only field one team for each sport, and everyone — man, woman, mutant, etc. — will be eligible to try out for all teams.
Not only will women disappear from scholastic sports … but the trannies will, too.
Isn’t this before the Supreme Court? I thought that some school brought this. So, let him make a fool of himself before the 2024 election. Let him lose the women’s vote.
Ultimately...it’s to kill competition.
A woman would not be able to participate in men's sports because she could not compete against any real male trying to make the team.
So, it can only mean that some woman will be the "token" female on the team and some real male will be kept from a college scholarship and potential pro carreer.
Title IX is for women. If Transfaggots become Title IX, women get Zero.
All the girls should quit their teams until this nonsense is finished.
This is DAVOS level Corporation-led brainwashing. Enough.
It needs everyone to stand up and say, hell no.
Can’t wait for the next round of Olympic Games! Our trannies are the fastest in the whole world!!!
I wonder what the Olympics women’s competitions will look like in the future.
‘So, it can only mean that some woman will be the “token” female on the team...’
there will not be a token female; there will be an equal number of men and women on the team...
US women are not much different than the rest of Western Civilization. They don’t know how to defend themselves, and don’t even know there’s a threat. It all ends badly, but no mean tweets. The ugliest dyke in the room will convince women that it’s all for the best. Wine spritzer drinking alchies will convince their daughters to bend over and take it from their transitioning betters. Remember when feminists were sassy? Now they agree to suck a “transitioning” man’s dick while pretending it’s not rape. Way to go ladies. You were never tough as you tortured us to think you were, as evidenced by how quickly you just folded to men in dresses. Your daughters deserved better. At least sit back and shut up as men try to fix this. Fucking losers.
Like football and basketball is now 88 percent black, women’s sports in ten years will be at least 88 percent transgender if this does go through.
