The Departments of Justice and Education have withdrawn their previous support of a federal lawsuit that seeks to block transgender athletes in Connecticut from competing in interscholastic sports with biological girls.
The lawsuit in question was filed in June 2019 by three female athletes against the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference (CIAC), which administers high school sports in the state. The girls, represented by conservative legal group Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), argued that the CIAC’s policy of allowing transgender athletes to compete in girls’ sports had deprived them of track titles and scholarship opportunities.
According to the ADF, the Biden administration has informed the federal court that it’s reversing the position taken by the Trump administration regarding the case.
“The government’s politically motivated reversal can’t change biological reality or the correct interpretation of the law,” the ADF said in a statement, noting that males will “always have inherent physical advantages” over “comparably talented and trained girls.”
The Trump-era Justice and Education Departments, headed by former Attorney General William Barr and Secretary Betsy DeVos, respectively, weighed in on the case last year in favor of the suing girls. In separate statements, the agencies argued that allowing male-born students to compete on girls’ teams is a violation of Title IX, the federal law prohibiting sex-based discrimination in education.
“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 CIAC’s transgender policy,” a March 2020 statement of interest by the Justice Department read. “To the contrary, CIAC’s construction of Title IX as requiring the participation of students on athletic teams that reflect their gender identity would turn the statute on its head.”

Evil, reprobate, heterophyes!!!!!!!!
All I want to ask any liberal who supports this is:
Why are womens sports separate from men’s?
Because I have nothing against a biological male competing as a woman in a CO-ED sport. But if you are going to say we need womens sports to be separate from men’s. You can’t have biological men competing against the women. If you are going to do that, make all sports co-ed.
I, for one, would love to see all those female Soccer heroes try out for the men’s teams! I think it would be a great eye opener.
Men are women just as 2+2=5.
RE: Why are womens sports separate from men’s?
I an think of one “sport” where women are allowed to compete with men long before we had this “woke” trend -— CHESS.
Of course, what could be more important to their agenda?
I’m glad 80 million of my fellow citizens did not vote for this.
If it wasn’t total election fraud, this population wouldn’t be
a people any decent people would ever want to live with.
~Easy
If these mentally ill people that pretend to be girls but are biological males should simply play on the mens teams.
A reasonable compromise I saw proposed is to eliminate mens’ sports, replacing them with an “open” category (open to all sexes), and have a second category for biological women. Trans women could then compete in the open category.
Any?
So the Democrat WAR ON WOMEN continues. I wonder if any Republicans will figure out that this is an issue that has the country 85% AGAINST the Democrats?
Who knows, maybe with the Republican LGBT/Pedophile-Lincoln Project leadership now purged, at least to some extent, they can get around to thinking about what AMERICANS want.
“Trans women could then compete in the open category.”
They don’t want to. They want only to compete in the female group because they will dominate and be disruptive.
That's what happens when Femanazis and Wimming vote Democrat.
Well Connecticut voted for this outcome — good job, people of CT.
Shouldn’t we end the designation of girls and boys sports?
So the actual women...and girls...of the nation are on notice: they’re only important to Rat Party Headquarters on Election Day. On any other day you can all go pound sand!
Wonder if "She" likes China Joe's leg hair?
the best women’s soccer team cannot beat elite 16 year old boys teams.
The headline for the article should have read, “Biden Admin Does Not Support Case Challenging Transgender Athletes in Girls’ Sports” That would give a clear message of their position. It is most unfair to women to have these men who are fake women compete with the genetic advantage they have as biological men.
I an think of one “sport” where women are allowed to compete with men long before we had this “woke” trend -— CHESS.
