The Biden administration’s new Title IX regulations issued last week avoided using the word “transgender,” but the rules, which go into effect on August 1, are already being interpreted as protecting transgenderism, especially in the use of specialized pronouns when transgender and LGBTQ students demand their use.
Throughout the document, the term “gender identity” is used to describe certain actions that the new rules will force all public schools — not just colleges, but all publicly funded schools — to obey or risk being sued and/or losing federal funding.
The new rules announced last week define sex discrimination as discrimination based on gender identity as well as sexual proclivities, and schools cannot separate people based on sex. The rules do not explicitly say that boys must be let into girls bathrooms and changing rooms, but the language has already been interpreted to do just that.
In a press call with activists, Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona insisted that school officials would be forced to use the preferred pronouns demanded by students.

Tell them your pronouns are “Most High and Holy Supreme Galactic Commander” and insist they use them.
I wonder if non-transgender people can make up their own pronouns and demand that they be legally referred to by those pronouns.
“that trans is largely a phase for a lot of these kids”
True. Our Grand Daughter has occasionally wanted to become a dog. I guess in today’s world her parents ought to take her to a vet for treatment.
I did look, saw the mask, and knew she was a total moron.
“These amendments clarify the scope and application of Title IX and the obligations of recipients of Federal financial assistance from the Department, including elementary schools, secondary schools, postsecondary institutions, and other recipients”
It looks like daughters and granddaughters are in for some unpleasant experiences.

Instead of legislating, a compliant Congress created legislators residing within impenetrable agencies. Instead of inherent individual liberties constraining government, a host of bureaucrats conferred rights upon and applied constraints to those who were citizens. Later Congresses followed the same path.
The best article I have found so far on the subject is called The History and Danger of Administrative Law by Philip Hamburger. I linked to it below. Such power harks back to discretions of English kings unrestrained by Parliament found in such places as King’s Council and the Star Chamber. Hamburger reminds us the Constitution says, “’All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States”. He then says, “The word ‘all’ was not placed there by accident. The Framers understood that delegation had been a problem in English history, and the word ‘all’ was placed there precisely to bar it”.

Little remains of our Republic, but all may not yet be lost. On April 14, 2023, the Supreme Court in a 9 to 0 ruling struck a blow supporting our Constitution and individual liberties. The Court acted to reassert the jurisdiction of district and circuit courts and the legislative branch. Justice Elana Kagan delivered the unanimous opinion of the court saying, “One respondent attacks as well the combination of prosecutorial and adjudicatory functions in a single agency….They maintain in essence that the agencies as currently structured, are unconstitutional in much of their work”. Until that ruling permeates the Administrative State it looks like daughters and granddaughters are in for some unpleasant experiences.

Don’t accept federal funding and throw out the teachers unions.
As far as what people want to call me, I am not playing, and they can call me whatever they think is appropriate. Ifthey get it wrong, it says more about them than me.
If I am told I am supposed to use the wrong words, I will simply state that I am not anative speaker, and that my language is 20th century standard English, the langauge in which I was raised. I amrather monolingual that way.
