President Joe Biden made good on a campaign promise and decimated the Title IX regulations, setting off a firestorm of anger over what many see as a slap in the face to women.
Biden’s Department of Education issued the finalized regulation Friday, effectively expanding protections for transgender students and, for the first time, banning discrimination based on “gender identity.”
Title IX was created to protect women and girls from discrimination and abuse.
Today, the Biden administration removed the protection and replaced it with a rule against prejudice “based on stereotypes, orientation, identity, sex characteristics.”
Under this new rule,…

“For more than 50 years, Title IX has promised an equal opportunity to learn and thrive in our nation’s schools free from sex discrimination,” U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona said in a statement. “These final regulations build on the legacy of Title IX by clarifying that all our nation’s students can access schools that are safe, welcoming, and respect their rights.”
For over 50 years title IX has opened doors for girls and women.
The final regulations we released today strengthen vital protections against sex discrimination, including sexual harassment, discrimination based on pregnancy, and related conditions.https://t.co/Xf70v3axOp pic.twitter.com/TnRUz2mG0K

Riley Gaines, a former 12-time All-American swimmer at the University of Kentucky, was among many women who blasted the administration, with a clear warning about the consequences of elections.
Any woman who votes for this in November is voting for her own erasure….more importantly, the demise of her daughters. https://t.co/bKT3tPlLsI

Ilya Shapiro, senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, leveled a blistering reality check on X.
“The administration expands Title IX to cover an undefined ‘gender identity’ despite the law’s clear understanding of sex as biological and binary—regardless whether you care most about statutory text or purpose, or even legislative history,” he wrote.
“As bad as the redefinition of “sex” is, what’s arguably even worse about the new rule is its subversion of due process and free speech,” he added. “And bloated educational bureaucracies will waste no time in investigating and disciplining students and faculty for politically incorrect speech that now runs afoul of expansive, nebulous, and shape-shifting definitions of sex-based harassment.”
“This rule aims to inculcate radical change in American society. It’s bad law, bad policy, and a continuation of a broader shift from education to activism,” Shapiro warned.
The regulations update effectively dismantled many of the changes, such as sexual assault due process rules, put in place by former President Donald Trump.
“This new rule turns Title IX on its head through extra-statutory regulations that require schools to allow males to self-identify into women’s spaces, opportunities, and athletics,” the Independent Women’s Forum (IWF) said in a statement.
Department of Education released changes to Title IX today.
The new final rules re-write discrimination as “based on stereotypes, sexual orientation, gender identity, sex characteristics.”
But not actual sex.
They are eliminating sex-based categories and distinctions.…

“DO NOT COMPLY. FIGHT,” Megyn Kelly reacted on X. She also slammed the “nuclear level attack on women’s rights and men’s due process rights.”
Your daughter will be forced to share her locker rooms with aroused men who get off on posing as women and there will be nothing you can do.
Your son will be stripped of his due process rights if he is accused by anyone on campus of sexual misconduct – his life will be over just…— Megyn Kelly (@megynkelly) April 19, 2024
“I never thought I’d see the day where Title IX would be used to harm women, but sadly, that day has come,” former Trump-era Education Secretary Betsy DeVos wrote on X.
This is a regulation no one needed and very few wanted. Our rule, the current one, was working well. By contrast, the Obama-Biden rules I inherited drew bipartisan outrage about the horrors they were creating on campuses, and the courts were routinely having to intervene. None…

“This is a regulation no one needed and very few wanted. Our rule, the current one, was working well. By contrast, the Obama-Biden rules I inherited drew bipartisan outrage about the horrors they were creating on campuses, and the courts were routinely having to intervene,” DeVos wrote. “None of that was the case when Biden took office. This is an endeavor born entirely of progressive politics, not sound policy.”
The concurring outrage continued to pour in on social media.
Biden nuked Title IX – I hope women realize just because Democrats want them to be able to kill their offspring that doesn’t mean they actually care about women. @IWF

Biden changed the definition of “sex” to include “gender identity” & now Title IX now requires schools to:
– Allow men on girls’ sports teams
– Allow men in girls’ locker rooms
– Allow men to take girls’ scholarships
– Force the use of “preferred” pronounsAbsolutely grotesque.

While the country is distracted by ten different calamities, Joe Biden has rolled out new Title IX rules to enshrine “gender identity” as a protected status and roll back due process rights for students on campus.
Translation: He wants boys in girls’ showers and locker rooms to…

In light of these Title IX changes I’d like to issue yet another reminder that there is no justification – absolutely none – for any Christian to vote for Joe Biden this November
