New Title IX rules barring gender discrimination could put more responsibility on colleges to protect transgender and nonbinary students. But those students say creating welcoming campuses will require more than just policy.

My son went through Cal Maritime and is currently working in the maritime industry keeping the supply chain of the United States operating. His classmates male and female are employed in the maritime industry. Cal Maritime graduates ROTC members who have gone on to officer careers in the Navy and Coast Guard. Cal Maritime graduates MEN and WOMEN who know their bow from their stern work keeping the American supply chain functional and do not perform perverted drag queen shows in front of kids at the library.

I understand that transgender means a mentally ill person who can't determine their gender by standing naked in from of a mirror and looking at the equipment between their legs.
But what is a nonbinary?
Transgenders look in the mirror and conclude the opposite of what they see. Nonbinaries look in the mirror and can't determine what they see (including the "person" part.)
The CDC today said LGBTQ comes under its purview, which means it is a (mental) disease.
They don’t ‘identify’ as male or female - but something between them, one of a hundred variants!
Move along, no mental illness here ;p
Some identify as genderfluid. Which mean, I suppose, that their gender can change from moment to moment.
In the leftists' eyes, that's the definition "widespread sexual misconduct, homophobia, transphobia," which inevitably leads to racism as well.
“The CDC today said LGBTQ comes under its purview”
The CDC is taking over the curriculum in your local school district to indoctrinate kids with the LGBTQIA+ propaganda.
Can you imagine being this confused? ...and having institutions encouraging it? Pure evil.
Non-binary is the laziest gender identification of all of them. Basically, a "non-binary" person claims to present features represented in all gender identities. Or none at all.
The wonderful thing about being non-binary is you don't have to dress differently, change your behavior, give yourself a different name, or even change the people you are sexually attracted to. No medication or surgery required. All you have to do is say, "I'm non-binary!" and that's it! You're now part of a protected class.
Everyone should be doing this.
It is more important to know the impact on regular students.
Maritime academies are a superior choice, for sure.
My daughter is now chief mate on a research vessel. Graduated with honors. I support your assertions. So glad that she made that choice.
However, what qualified her was my home-schooling her, and her sister. That saved them the waisted time of being cognitively bent and ‘normed’.
Title IX was passed by Congress in 1972. Does anyone think Congress would have passed it knowing that it would be used to require that schools let men pretending to be women into women’s bathrooms, lockers, or perhaps most ironically considering Title IX’s effects on women’s sports, onto women’s athletic teams? Of course not.
But it now seems that we are not governed by laws as they are originally written and passed, but by unelected administrators who somehow have received the power to expand their reach by the simple redefinition of what words mean.
In 1972, even non-biologists, Congress members and Supreme Court Justices knew that ‘sex’ referred to male/female. There was no question or hesitation. Were there men at the time who dressed as and pretended to be women? Yes, I’m sure. But they were regarded as men with serious mental problems. No one was saying, “Of course you can use the women’s locker room.”
My son is the port engineer for a tug boat company. Got married bought a house living the dream. Thank God he went to Cal Maritime to study marine engineering instead of Cal Berkeley to study multi cultural transgendered basket weaving
No offense but you could be my senator.
I do worry lately, however, that our kids are at risk of military service ‘impressment’ in wartime.
Biden is a bit of a loose, arrogant, cannon.
Her grandfather was also a Chief Mate on a WWII sub that sunk merchant ships.
A toast and a prayer.
"How new Title IX rules could affect California’s transgender and nonbinary students"
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
Patriots are reminded that INTRAstate banking, intrastate schools, and desperate Democratic politically correct gender politics are actually off limits to the unconstitutionally big federal government. (The crooks that Constitution-impaired voters are electing to federal Senate with their 17th Amendment powers are imposing constitutionally indefensible taxes on voters that Democrats turn around to buy votes with to stay in power.)
Regarding no banking powers, the delegates to the Constitutional Convention had discussed giving power to regulate INTRAstate banking to Congress, but had decided against it.
"Docr. FRANKLIN moved to add after the words "post roads" Art I. Sect. 8. "a power to provide for cutting canals where deemed necessary [emphasis added]"" —Madison Debates, September 14, 1787.
"Article I, Section 8, Clause 7: To establish Post Offices and post Roads [, a power to provide for cutting canals where deemed necessary];"
"Mr. KING. The States will be prejudiced and divided into parties by it. In Philada. & New York, It will be referred to the establishment of a Bank, which has been a subject of contention in those Cities. In other places it will be referred to mercantile monopolies." —Madison Debates, September 14, 1787.
"It is known that the very power now proposed as a means was rejected as an end by the Convention which formed the Constitution. A proposition was made to them to authorize Congress to open canals, and an amendatory one to empower them to incorporate. But the whole was rejected, and one of the reasons for rejection urged in debate was, that then they would have a power to erect a bank, which would render the great cities, where there were prejudices and jealousies on the subject, adverse to the reception of the Constitution [emphasis added]. — Jefferson's Opinion on the Constitutionality of a National Bank : 1791
It is very important to note that Franklin had not suggested giving banking powers to Congress. He had suggested giving Congress the power to cut canals. So when the delegates nixed Congress regulating banking as a means to support suggested canals, they nixed banking as a means to support any of Congress's Section 8 duties imo.
Next, military training aside, regarding no constitutionally express power to dictate, regulate, tax and spend for INTRAstate schools, both President Thomas Jefferson, in a State of the Union address, and Justice Joseph Story had indicated that the Constitution would first need to be appropriately amend before Congress could stick its big nose (my words) into intrastate schooling — something that he states have never done!
“The great mass of the articles on which impost is paid is foreign luxuries, purchased by those only who are rich enough to afford themselves the use of them. Their patriotism would certainly prefer its continuance and application to the great purposes of the public education, roads, rivers, canals, and such other objects of public improvement as it may be thought proper to add to the constitutional enumeration of federal powers [emphasis added].” —Thomas Jefferson: 6th Annual Message, 1806." (Jefferson is indicating that Congress cannot tax and spend in the name of intrastate infrastructure imo.)
"The power to regulate manufactures is no more confided to congress, than the power to interfere with the systems of education, the poor laws, or the road laws of the states [emphasis added]." —Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2, 1833.
So the very corrupt federal government is actually using constitutionally indefensible Title IX to threaten schools with a loss of "federal" funding for not promoting constitutionally indefensible Democratic agenda, funding that is arguably state revenues that the feds have stolen from the states by means of unconstitutional federal taxes.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
Finally, the only sex-related protection that the states have amended the constitution to expressly protect limits such protections to voting rights issues, evidenced by 19th Amendment
"19th Amendment:
The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.
Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."
"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.
In other words, there are no express constitutional sex-related protections that any state has to respect regarding politically correct LGBT agenda issues imo.
The bottom line is that ALL the states desperately need to effectively "secede" from the unconstitutionally big federal government by repealing the 16th (direct taxes) and 17th (popular voting for federal senators) Amendments (16&17A).
If the repeal 16&17A amendment was strictly limited to that purpose, then relatively little or ideally no discussion would be needed before ratification imo.
“Cherish, therefore, the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention. If once they become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, judges and governors, shall all become wolves [emphasis added]. It seems to be the law of our general nature.” - Thomas Jefferson (Letter to Edward Carrington January 16, 1787)
It seems like a fad, doesn’t it?
