This Title IX Rewrite is INSANE

Someone help me out here: Title IX is a law passed by the Congress of the United States and signed into law by Former President Richard M. Nixon on June 23, 1972. Since the Congress is the only body with the constitutional right to create federal law, how can the Department of Education simply rewrite Title IX? I copied this from the White House website: "All legislative power in the government is vested in Congress, meaning that it is the only part of the government that can make new laws or change existing laws." Isn't the sort of alteration the Department of Education is engaged in here effectively (re-)writing law?

I asked that very same question, as I’ve come to that very same conclusion and yet I never got an answer. They are challenging it in court which could and probably would take years unless Trump reverses it somehow when he gets into office but then it’s still a constitutionality Question at that point.

The Dept. of Ed can't create law.

Can someone explain how they can rewite a law without congress?

Title 9 didn't 'allow' schools to create women's sports programs, it 'forced' them to do it. Women's sports lived by the sword and died by it too.

Why isn't there more discussion about this? Slippery slope arguments you aren't supposed to make... like de facto or perhaps ersatz unisex bathrooms and locker rooms and showers are coming under the cloak of claimed trans status, woman status, and this is now happening in the real world, now, even though we were chided and scolded to not make slippery slope arguments by the usual finger waggers. So...what we used to call women are just going to have to get used to the premise of perceiving penises in premises previously prohibiting and preventing perusal of penises. Maybe that's fine and worrying about it is a moral panic but what we used to call women are the ones who get to worry about it, be made uncomfortable about it and what might occur along side of it. Just the worry about possible eventualities is a burden in and of itself. If some crime should occur the pursuing of that after the fact is cold comfort as compared to the prevention thereof. And what is the price of their unease and discomfort if not fear? What is the price of fear? And who is expected to bear it without complaint?

Whatever the hell someone wants me to call them is fine, I can’t however wrap my head around only calling someone by “they/them”. I know I would mess that one up

[@bronyaenjoyer]

you should not let people control you like that, especially those kinds of people. Because in their world only they matter. You don't have to obey by their delusional rules. Call them whathever the hell you want not what they want. What will they do, get upset? throw a tantrum cuz you hurt their feelings, they are so immature

[@readthetype]

If I told you I could see the future, and that a second H was approaching, would you be interested in helping prevent it?

[@readthetype]

If, in order to feel safe, you need to control the behaviour of others, it’s not the others who have a problem. Put another way; anyone who considers “trigger-words” a reasonable concept needs therapy. It’s not only unreasonable, but absolutely impossible, to control others’ behaviour. As long as that’s the goal you’re striving for, you’ll forever be disappointed.

The thing is this sort of video with its title attracts Tactivists who we know are fanatics who cannot handle critisism and will try to cancel critical comments. So maybe try another title next time that is less provocative because these folks with their alternative views of reality will try to shut down in a hateful way supportive realistic comment.

It's interesting that you skip over the fact that it also increased protection for sexual assault. which is of course what harassing a trans person for being trana is, by the way.

[@portanrayken3814]

what do you mean ? dose harassment = sexual assault now ?

[@angelainamarie9656]

@@portanrayken3814 Well, let's see, in an entire decade of transition the only people who bother me about this up close and personal are basically too interested in the contents of my personal drawers, and don't seem to comprehend the idea of what's my business and what's not theirs. Oh, and every time it's gotten physical, it's been an attempted s*x assault so yes. That is EXACTLY what it is. Bothering or bullying a trans person IS s*xual assault. it sure looked like it every time it happened to me. Wasn't any conversation about anything above the belt. Or that was their concern or that they had been invited to converse with me about.

[@angelainamarie9656]

@@portanrayken3814 I guess the thing to be clear about here is in again, nearly an entire decade of living this way, every issue i've had was instigated by someone who didn't comprehend how to mind their own business. There isn't anything, unless someone wishes to start something.

[@portanrayken3814]

@@angelainamarie9656 i mean in your replay you said it got physical so yes that is sexual assault but in your original comment you said harassing a trans person = sexual assault which is wrong meaning of the words and actions are important because that what decides the punishments

[@angelainamarie9656]

@@portanrayken3814 No, I said what I said, and I meant it. And when it happens to me, that is exactly how I will treat it, and report and describe it. There will be no alternate explanation accepted or entertained.

I was standing rather close when a guy in the supermarket said hello madam to a Twoman. It is insane really. I simply do not use no name no more, skip that part, when dealing with such person. Forcing us to participate in such delusion will result in us being more distant with these folks being more isolated so it only makes things worse. And btw such people have mental issues, them doing the Tclinic thing is not helpful either makes also things worse. That is what you get with giving gayworld a seat at the table on this topic. Check out the Cass Review see how big a mess these Tclinics are.
