Federal judge shields Texas from Biden's pro-Transgender regulations

A federal judge has blocked President Joe Biden’s pro-transgender rewrite of the federal government’s Title IX regulations against sexual discrimination.

“Joe Biden’s unlawful effort to weaponize Title IX for his extremist agenda has been stopped in its tracks,” said a statement from Ken Paxton, Texas’ Attorney General. “Threatening to withhold education funding by forcing states to accept ‘transgender’ policies that put women in danger was plainly illegal,” said Paxton, who filed the lawsuit.

“Nothing in the [federal law] prohibits discrimination based on gender identity,” U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor declared Tuesday, in a decision that only protects Texans. The judge added:

to allow [the Biden administration’s] unlawful action to stand would be to functionally rewrite Title IX in a way that shockingly transforms American education and usurps a major question from Congress. That is not how our democratic system functions.

The lawsuit will be appealed, and the dispute over Title IX and transgenderism likely will be shaped by the U.S. Supreme Court amid the political standoff in Congress.

The existing Title IX law and regulations bar sex discrimination against men or women, but not “gender” discrimination, said the Texas judge. “Reading into the statute a more fluid conception of sex — one that is based on subjective gender identity and divorced from biological reality — would ignore the ordinary meaning of sex used in Title IX [laws],” the judge wrote.

“Title IX allows for differentiation based on sex due to biological differences — such as intimate facilities [bathrooms] and athletic teams [sports],” he wrote.

However, many judges are pushing the ideology.

“Gender identity is real” claimed Judge Robert Hinkle....

I would rather see Matt Gaetz than Paxton. Gaetz is much more fearless and much more of an ass kicker than Paxton is.

Half the democrats would leave the country if Gaetz became Attorney General.

The title is misleading as it implies that the injunction is for Texas only. Quoting Texas Scorecard, the injunction is nationwide: "Attorney General Ken Paxton announced today that a federal court has vacated the controversial Title IX guidance nationwide."

Thank you for referencing that article NetAddicted.

"“Nothing in the [federal law [??? emphasis added]] prohibits discrimination based on gender identity,” U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor declared Tuesday, in a decision that only protects Texans."


It would be better imo if judges referred to specific constitutional clauses in their decisions instead of often dubious federal laws.

In fact, patriots need to support hopeful Trump 47 to get probably a bunch of unconstitutional federal laws, and likewise unconstitutional Oval Office and federal regulatory agency edicts, out of the books.

Unconstitutional federal laws and edicts are based on stolen state powers which the very corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification Congress lets likewise corrupt presidents and federal bureaucrats get away with stealing and abusing.

"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.

Patriots need support Trump with a new patriot Congress in November so that he won't be a lame duck president from the first day of his second term in office.

I am afraid that I do not agree with you. Ken Paxton kicks ass effectively, often and hard!

However, if not attorney general, I would like to see him run against Sen. John Cornyn (RINO, TX) in 2026. I think he would win.

Let’s hope that Cornyn doesn’t become the next senate leader following McConnell’s retirement. He is in line and vying for that position. We don’t want him as senator, let alone senate leader. He would be worse than McConnell.

” U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor declared Tuesday, in a decision that only protects Texans."

Thank you for the correction and clarification. Apparently the quote from Texas Scorecard is incorrect in stating that "... a federal court has vacated the controversial Title IX guidance nationwide."

““Gender identity is real” claimed Judge Robert Hinkle....”

Whatever-if I identify as a chimpanzee, it may be “real” to me-but it does not mean I have the right to go live in a zoo...
