The federal government is formally objecting to Connecticut's requirement that boys who "identify" as girls be allowed to compete against girls in high school athletics.
"They are incorrect. Title IX and its implementing regulations prohibit discrimination solely 'on the basis of sex,' not on the basis of transgender status, and therefore neither require nor authorize [the state's] transgender policy," explains a legal filing in a lawsuit over the dispute.
The complaint against the state, Soule v. Connecticut Association of Schools, was brought by female high school athletes and their mothers.
A lawyer for the girls, Christiana Holcomb of the Alliance Defending Freedom, said: "Girls shouldn't be reduced to spectators in their own sports. Allowing males to compete in the female category isn't fair and destroys girls' athletic opportunities."
Since the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference began allowing boys who think they're girls to take part in girls' atheletics, the complaint says, plaintiffs Selina Soule, Alanna Smith and Chelsea Mitchell have been consistently "deprived of honors and opportunities to compete at elite levels."

” its implementing regulations prohibit discrimination solely ‘on the basis of sex,’’
Agreed.
The law as written is clear.
Odumbo’s memo and interpretation mean nothing.
Roll MAGA roll!
On the contrary. Thank you. Thank you.
Humans have a sex.
Male or female.
Gender refers to language.
Stop cooperating with the bastardization of our language.
It takes a real tough, brave guy to compete against women. Or someone mentally ill.
Trans trumps feminism with the left.
Smart women on both sides of the political spectrum are waking up to the fact that the transgender agenda is fundamentally anti-woman.
A rare moment of sanity from the government.
“Crucify me!”
...on the contrary, we will petition the Lord to resurrect you honors!
Winning!

give it a rest...
Giving in is how the Ministry of Propaganda gets away with it.
‘It takes a real tough, brave guy to compete against women...’
there have been lightweight boys who have been defeated by girls in wrestling; can you imagine the eternal ignominy of that...?
‘Giving in is how the Ministry of Propaganda gets away with it.’
gets away with what...? exactly...?
Bastardizing the language.
It’s how sex becomes gender and mutable.
It’s how fraudulently documented foreigners become undocumented immigrants or even undocumented Americans.
