In what is being called another massive win for our country, a federal judge in Kentucky has struck down the Biden administration's attempt to redefine sex and gender in Title IX, cancelling the new rewrite across the U.S.
Back in 2021, Biden issued an executive order to allow biological men to participate in women's sports. The Biden administration’s Title IX revisions would have ended sex-based protections for biological women in all aspects of education. The regulation expanded Title IX, a 1972 law forbidding discrimination based on sex in education, to also prevent discrimination based on gender identity or sexual orientation.
The rule had already been halted in 26 states after a strong push of legal challenges by Republican states.
Judge Danny C. Reeves of the District Court of the Eastern District of Kentucky ruled that the department “exceeded its statutory authority” in implementing the rule and found that the rule itself violates the United States Constitution because it would “chill speech” related to gender ideology and because it is “vague and overbroad” in how it is written.
President-elect Donald Trump, who promised to end the rules “on day one” probably won't have to bother now, as the federal government is not expected to appeal. In all likelihood, Biden's Title IX plan is dead.
