On Thursday, the Biden Administration’s Education Department announced its proposed changes to Title IX that would drastically affect school athletics across the country, in the name of protecting “transgender” rights.
According to the Washington Free Beacon, the proposed changes would completely eliminate the concept of gender-specific sports and spaces, such as restrooms and locker rooms, and would allow students to freely use whichever facilities they feel like. The new regulations would also label any instances of someone not using proper “pronouns” as sexual harassment.
The Biden Education Department did refrain from issuing a definitive rule on letting biological men compete in women’s sports, and the announcement of these new changes itself was delayed in the past, hinting at some hesitation within the White House due to the widespread unpopularity of transgenderism.
“A shift from biological sex to gender identity means that girls and women will be forced to accept the presence of biological males in what have always been single-sex spaces.” said Erika Sanzi, a spokeswoman for the education watchdog group Parents Defending Education. “Dignity and respect matter for everyone but so do fairness and safety, and these proposed changes represent a total rejection of fairness and safety in the name of ideology.”
In addition, the Biden Administration had already announced the reversal of several other key Trump-era reforms to Title IX, which had significantly increased the rights of students who are accused of wrongdoing on campus, particularly with regards to allegations of sexual harassment. Whereas the Trump Administration made the process for handling such allegations more akin to the actual legal system with an “innocent until proven guilty” mentality, Biden reversed the policy back to the Obama-era approach of “guilty until proven innocent,” with greater burdens on the accused and greater authority on the individual Title IX coordinators.
“The Biden administration made the decision to deliberately target the rights of accused students,” said Sanzi.

Time for the states to tell the feds to take their money and mind their own business. The Republicans in Congress should also block any funding for the Department of Education. Time to play hardball, people.
Criminalizing the use of the “wrong” pronouns. So now insane people can get you thrown in jail and ruined for life because they accuse you of the new crime of “misgendering.”
Do it!!!
Let there be no definition of gender in sports and make everybody be on the same team. Girls have to compete against men for the spots. I guess the female soccer and basketball teams will show what they are made of now! Go Rapinoe and Griner, show them how its done.
This quote from the Wall Street Journal commentary the other day about the NYS appellate court recent denial of petitioner Nonhuman Rights Project’s application to have elephants declared human:
“...Happy the elephant at the Bronx Zoo, was rebuffed in a 5-2 decision by the New York State Court of Appeals. For now, an elephant is an elephant, not a person, though elephants are clearly smarter than two dissenting New York state judges and the humans at the Nonhuman Rights Project.”
The U of Penn women’s swim team can now rest easy knowing that transelephant Happy won’t be showing up for a spot on the team any time soon. If the decision went the other way, one can only imagine the assortment of gender confused, genderless, transgender, transspecies, transelephants, pregnant “men” and plant based beings, each with their own set of pronouns, and each clutching freshly issued executive orders from President Biden declaring their humanity as teenage girls, besieging Penn with applications for a spot on Penn’s belabored women’s swim team. Their team would be taking on more the look of a Star Wars bar with flippers than a women’s swim team.
Agreed. More white males need to quit being beta cucks.
They are lunatics.
We are being ruled by genuine lunatics.
I previously referred to the Constitution and the rights and responsibilities contained in that document.
You, VTenigma, quoted the Declaration of Independence. Are you advocating action according to that quote?!?
Every damn thing he touches goes to hell.
Oh, really?
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech..."
Title IX is, in fact, a law. Pedo Joe doesn't get to alter it at will.
Title XYZQ+
True enough.
