On Thursday (23 June), the Biden administration announced proposed amendments to Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, which prohibits sex-based discrimination in schools and federally-funded education programmes.
The proposal, announced on the 50th anniversary of the legislation being signed into law, would ensure LGBTQ+ students are protected under the law. It would be the first time queer students’ rights would be enshrined by Title IX.
Among the changes, “preventing someone from participating in school programs and activities consistent with their gender identity would cause harm in violation of Title IX”, and the definition of sexual harassment would be expended.
Legal director of The Human Rights Campaign (HRC), Sarah Warbelow, called the Title IX proposals a triumph.
“The proposed rule change gets at the heart of what Title IX is supposed to do – protect students from sexual assault, sexual harassment and discrimination while on campus,” Warbelow said.
She added: “By spelling out protections based on sexual orientation and gender identity, it will further safeguard a vulnerable population that is all too often preyed upon.
“It is especially important, given the attacks on transgender youth across the country.”
The amendments would restore protections removed by the Trump administration in 2020 that the Department of Education said had “weakened protections for survivors of sexual assault and diminished the promise of an education free from discrimination.”
“The proposed rules issued today by the Department of Education send an important message to LGBTQ students and their families that federal law protects them.”
GLAD executive director Janson Wu said: “These proposed regulations demonstrate a strong commitment to protecting educational opportunities for all students including LGBTQ students.
“Especially in light of ongoing state legislative attacks, we are grateful for the administration’s strong support of LGBTQ youth.”
In a statement from the White House, Joe Biden said: “Over the last 50 years, our nation has made monumental progress in advancing equity and equality for all students, including by narrowing gender gaps in sports, expanding opportunities in science and technology fields, and protecting students from sex discrimination, including sex-based harassment and sexual violence.”
However, Biden said there is more work to be done to protect LGBTQ+ people.
“I am committed to protecting this progress and working to achieve full equality, inclusion, and dignity for women and girls, LGBTQI+ Americans, all students, and all Americans,” he said.
Liberals, Democrats, Leftists, whatever they want to be called, assume that a person’s sexual identities are determined at birth, which is not based on science or biology, but on pure bias. That is why they’re so eager to force sexual preferences early on, during childhood. In reality, it is a decision based on many factors. One of those factors is suggestion and peer pressure, which is what Democrats are exploiting.
“This is going to ruin women’s and girl’s sports and do exactly opposite of what Title 9 intended!”
Does Title 9, or any federal law, explicitly protect trannies in this context?
Assuming no, then this plan is DOA on Monday if the EPA ruling goes as hoped.
...and if it does, and if the government still wants this crap, they can request it from Congress, but they best hurry as Congress looks to be far more red next year.
“ Shouldn’t we wait until, I don’t know, maybe puberty, before assigning sexual preferences to people? ”
Their goal is to expand the LGBTQ+ population . The earlier they start their recruitment drives the more quickly they will be able to grow their numbers because kids won’t have the maturity to resist.
I’m assuming this has to go through congress first?
I wish everyone would leave children alone. Kids as young as 8 are suicidal. Stop sexualizing them, politicizing them and giving them grown up issues to deal with. Let them be kids.
What I predicted in early 2020.
Really, the whole world 🌎🌍 is going godless.
It will have the prophesied result, too.
When shall we all be delivered from the PLAGUE of queerdom?
PHOOEY to biden and to whomever is behind his teleprompter!!!! PHOOEY to “gay”/transgender “rights”!!!!
I firmly believe that there should be no sports by sexual or gender identification at any level. No men’s track and field in college or woman’s soccer in high school. No men’s or woman’s basketball. If an individual want’s to play a sport or join a team then their ability to do so should be based on their ability alone. It’s only just and equitable.

Ah the Babylonian name given to Daniel. Good one.
Now Belshazzar’s knees knocked when he saw the fingers writing on the wall... (for the thread) and..... Depends were called for
Daniel 5:5-6
21st Century King James Version
5 In the same hour came forth fingers of a man’s hand, and wrote opposite the candlestick upon the plaster of the wall of the king’s palace; and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote.
6 Then the king’s countenance was changed and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his loins were loosed and his knees smote one against another.

Let the libs live in their baby-killing penis chopping off unlimited crime hellhole states and build the wall with Mexico and extend it up the California coast (keep northern CA).
THIS IS HIGH PRIORITY FOR THESE PUKES EVERTHING ELSE INCLUDING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE CAN GO TO HELL
probably illegal, and if not can easily be undone by next president.
The silence on the part of ‘bra-burners’ on the issue of biological men competing in women’s sports and using girls locker rooms only proves that ‘feminism’ isn’t/was never really about women.
NO one has the right to force me to “use some pronouns” under penalty of arrest. I have the right to free speech, and the existence of insane, delusional people didn’t make me lose it.
It's the same thing with the left on Islam, DaBroasta! effing hypocrites!
We were hesitant having to go into Dallas to get her. Took along my 9mm handgun and wifey had her Sig 9mm. Also brought along a semi-auto 12 gauge superb folding-stock shotgun loaded with 00 Buck and five in the magazine, plus an extra mag. I decided before we left that the buck stops it here. We are not going to be assaulted, our car stopped, be beaten or killed by pro-abortion protesters and I don't care what happens next.
You will never find another post of mine like this. This stuff has got to stop and these leaders are saying things they should not be saying that are going to cause a conflict. They should be arrested for insurrection with what they have said. They are going to get people killed on both sides.
Yes. Incendiary language.
I'm in the same zone. F**k these motherf***ers. Time to make a f***ing stand.
Praying that God keeps you (and the rest of us) safe.
