Biden admin facing lawsuits over Title IX rules, transgender athletes' participation in sports

A coalition of state officials, students and parents is suing the Biden administration over its latest Title IX rules, calling the new regulations a violation of authority.
The U.S. Department of Education released its finalized Title IX regulations last Friday, largely rewriting the 1972 federal civil rights law most known for ensuring equal treatment in women's sports. The new regulations broaden Title IX to prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity in all educational institutions receiving federal funding.
The rewrite also reverses certain regulations put in place for handling sexual assault complaints enacted under the Trump administration, including expanding the scope of what constitutes as sexual harassment.

Just so you know, Kennedy stated in an interview that he is AGAINST biological males competing in women's sports. You don't have to vote for Trump! If Kennedy doesn't win, it's going to be Trump anyway, due to Biden being behind in all the states that matter - the swing states. Don't listen to bulls**t national polling. Remember that Hillary was ahead in the nat'l polls heading into the 2016 election. She won the popular vote, but not the electoral college. If Kennedy causes no one to get 270 EC votes, then the election will go to the house, and they'll elect Trump. So, if you don't want Biden, it's a safe bet to vote for RFK Jr., who might just surprise us all and win. RFK, all the way! 🎉

George Mason Law Review, “Equality on What Basis? Evaluating Title IX’s Requirements in the Transgender Context by Seth Lucas. “…And it reflects the common understanding at the time of its adoption that a woman is a woman because of her sex, which is immutable. Consequently, equality based on gender identity is not the equality that Title IX promises or was created to deliver. Title IX forbids only discrimination based on sex, not discrimination based on gender identity or transgender status. Treating a person as male or female based on that person’s sex does not run afoul of that protection.” Sex matters in life and law AND I WILL NOT VOTE until Biden corrects this gross injustice towards women and girls.
