Biden administration finalizes controversial Title IX rule to ‘redefine’ sex

The Biden administration finalized its much-anticipated Title IX rules Friday morning, overturning much of the Trump-era rules and expanding the definition of sex to include transgender identities.

The new rules only pertain to the sexual harassment and discrimination portions of Title IX, while an open rulemaking process is set to address issues with transgender participation in sports. The sports rules are not likely to be finalized until after the 2024 election.

Much of the redefinition of sex is fueled by the Supreme Court’s decision in Bostock v. Clayton County, where Justice Neil Gorsuch applied an expansive claimed gender identity framework to the definition of sex as it relates to employment discrimination under Title VII.

While Gorsuch wrote that Bostock would only narrowly apply to Title VII, President Joe Biden issued a day-one executive order requiring the entire federal government to apply its reasoning to everything it does. The final rule applies Bostock to Title IX.

“For over half a century, Title IX has opened doors, expanded access, and promised fairness. Before Title IX was passed in 1972, women and girls didn’t have equal access to education in this country,” Education Secretary Miguel Cardona said on a call with reporters Thursday evening. “That was unacceptable then, and it’s unfathomable now.”

“Title IX promises that no person experiences sex discrimination, including sex-based harassment, or sexual violence in federally funded education,” Cardona added.

Title IX is part of a federal law, passed by Congress, is that not correct?

If so, then...
... how can a diktat from the administration "redefine" an existing law?

The Biden Admin has just officially abolished Title IX as we knew it. Now, sex = gender identity. 

In a nutshell, the new rewrite means:
- men can take academic AND athletic scholarships from women
- men will have FULL access to bathrooms, locker rooms, etc
- men could be housed in dorm rooms with women
- students and faculty MUST compel their speech by requiring the use of preferred pronouns

If the guidelines above are ignored or even questioned, then YOU can be charged with harassment.

Biden Admin’s Title IX Rewrite Obliterates Female Spaces, Free Speech, And Due Process
The rules undo Trump-era safeguards for those accused of sexual misconduct and encroach on parents’ rights.
By: Jordan Boyd
April 19, 2024

The Biden administration’s Department of Education unveiled a sweeping set of rules on Friday that effectively erase protections for sex-based spaces by expanding the Title IX prohibition against sex discrimination to include “gender identity” — a term that’s never mentioned in the original law.

A majority of Americans agree that males who claim to identify otherwise should not be allowed to infiltrate girls’ and women’s sports teams. As of now, some 25 states have laws or regulations aimed at keeping boys and men out of female-only spaces, on and off the field.

Yet, come Aug. 1, the Democrat regime’s radial redefinition of “sex-based discrimination” poses a threat to sex-based protections and welcomes males into female spaces including athletic competitions, locker rooms, and sex-specific clubs such as sororities, despite state laws.

“The final regulations will help to ensure that all students receive appropriate support when they experience sex discrimination and that recipients’ procedures for investigating and resolving complaints of sex discrimination are fair to all involved,” the rules claim.

The regulations do even more damage, however, such as by undoing Trump-era due process safeguards for those accused of sexual misconduct, which could include merely using accurate pronouns. They also encroach on parents’ rights and threaten academic free speech by incentivizing schools to censor students and teachers with traditional views on sex and marriage so they don’t lose federal funding. ...

As former senior counsel at the office for civil rights at the U.S. Department of Education, I know a bit about Title IX. And I know a bit about how illegal this rule is.
Multiple lawsuits already in the works.

The Biden Admin ignores all the court rulings against his "interetations" from Student loan forgiveness, Border protection, flying illegals into the US..... so no mater if the new DOE rule is deemed illegal, it won't change a thing.

@RealMacReport
🚨Breaking: Texas AG Ken Paxton has sued to stop an unlawful federal rule issued by the Biden Administration that destroys protections for women in educational institutions by mandating compliance with radical gender ideology.

“Texas will not allow Joe Biden to rewrite Title IX at whim, destroying legal protections for women in furtherance of his radical obsession with gender ideology,” said AG Paxton. “This attempt to subvert federal law is plainly illegal, undemocratic, and divorced from reality. Texas will always take the lead to oppose Biden’s extremist, destructive policies that put women at risk.”

A tip of the democrat Epstein island mentality of utter sexual morality corruption.  Fortunately anything Biden does has to be better than anything Trump did or does.  Odd so many of the lock-stepping stooges that ushered in Biden can bitch so much after forcing Biden upon us, last Presidential election, eh?
Stand-up and be counted for your shameless stoogery, stooges!  You brought us to where we are now at, and shamelessly so!

Gov. DeSantis tells President Biden Florida 'will not comply' with new Title IX changes

..........."Florida rejects Joe Biden's attempt to rewrite Title IX," said DeSantis. "We will not comply and we will fight back. We are not gonna let Joe Biden try to inject men into women's activities. We are not gonna let Joe Biden undermine the rights of parents, and we are not gonna let Joe Biden abuse his constitutional authority to try to impose these policies on us here in Florida."..................

The way the BATFE has redefined a machine gun as any part unique to the function thereof.
Or maybe like how the EPA defined Carbon Dioxide as a pollutant.
Let them get away with this stuff once they use it everywhere.

Separation of powers has been severely screwed with.

In a nutshell, Riley, I will not comply.  No man worthy of the title will stand by while his daughters, granddaughters, even great granddaughters are treated that way. No woman would either.
It is the job of parents to protect our children.

Where in the Hell are the "feminists"?

Have "women's Rights" become all about killing babies and not protecting their daughters?
Or has that movement been completely hijacked by the GLBTxyz lobby?

Paragraph 2 deals with those issues.

Apparently as yet, transsexual/transvestite are not included in sports issues.  But the intend to.

So right now, sounds like it is irrelevant, but could be soon.

The Issue is never the issue.  You should know that by now!

It’s all about communism.  Whatever pushes it.  Blacks stand down when it goes against communism.  Trannies and homos stand down when it goes against communism.  All their enablers stand down when the issue goes against communism.

Congress wrote Title IX to protect women. Biden, with no authority to do so, rewrote Title IX to protect men who identify as women.
This tramples Texas laws that prohibit men in women’s sports.

The Equal Protection Project (EPP) (EqualProtect.org) of the Legal Insurrection Foundation has challenged numerous racially discriminatory programs done in the name of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. This discrimination comes in various ways, but the overarching theme is to exclude or diminish some people and promote others, based on race, color, or ethnicity. We have filed over two dozen complaints and legal actions since launch in February 2023, with over half the schools withdrawing or modifying the discriminatory programs. (See EPP Impact Summaries.)

Not all of our actions have been limited to racial discrimination, we also have challenged multiple instances in which racial discrimination was mixed with sex discrimination and gender identity discrimination against men who are not “trans” or nonbinary. The intersectionality of these discriminations is a byproduct of the DEI ideology.

For the first time, we have filed a case involving solely sex and gender identity discrimination that came in through an anonymous tip on the EPP contact form.

On July 10, 2024, we filed a Civil Rights Complaint (full embed at bottom of post) with the Office for Civil Rights of the U.S. Department of Education, against Rochester Institute of Technology over its Women in Stem Award for incoming students. The scholarship is open to females and persons who identify as female or nonbinary. Males who identify as males are not eligible, which violates Title IX which as interpreted by the Biden OCR covers gender identity discrimination. Whether we agree with this interpretation of Title IX is irrelevant, it is OCR’s guidance that schools like RIT that receive federal funding are required to follow. ...
