WASHINGTON / July 15, 2024 – Over 50 years ago, Marxist Shalamith Firestone laid out her grand vision for gender equality: “genital differences between human beings would no longer matter culturally…The tyranny of the biological family would be broken.” (1) As far-fetched as her proposal might sound, activists around the world began to take up the challenge, concocting their theory of “transgenderism.”
Accordingly on his first day in office, President Biden issued an Executive Order that decreed, “All persons should receive equal treatment under the law, no matter their gender identity or sexual orientation.” (2) On April 19 of this year, the Biden Department of Education issued its final Title IX rule that expanded the meaning of sex to include “gender identity.” (3)
Response to the new policy was resoundingly negative. Numerous governors and state superintendents of education instructed their schools to ignore the rule (4). One editorial ridiculed the policy as a “repulsive attempt to erase biological truth.” (5)
Literally within days, state Attorneys General and others began to file nine lawsuits seeking to overturn the policy (6). To date, five decisions have been handed down. Remarkably, every one of decisions imposed a temporary injunction for their respective states on the “arbitrary and capricious” Title IX rule:
· June 13: Judge Terry Doughty for the states of Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, and Idaho (7).
· June 17: Judge Danny Reeves for Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Virginia, and West Virginia (8).
· July 2: Judge John Broomes for Kansas, Alabama, Utah, and Wyoming, plus all schools attended by the children of Moms for Liberty and by members of the Young America’s Foundation (9).
· July 11: Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk for the state of Texas. In addition, the judge noted he is considering extending his injunction to all 50 states in the nation (10).
· July 11: Judge Reed O’Connor for the Carroll Independent School District in Texas (11).
In parallel fashion, the Department of Health and Human Services issued a separate regulation in May requiring states to pay for so-called “gender affirming” treatments (12). This rule, which also relies on a bloated definition of sex to include gender identity, was met with several lawsuits as well.
On July 3, two federal judges issued injunctions against the DHHS rule. The first applied to Texas and Montana (13). More devastating to the Washington bureaucrats, the second decision blocked the DHHS rule throughout the entire nation (14).
Topping off this remarkable string of decisions, on June 28 the United States Supreme Court issued a ruling that overturned the long-standing Chevron doctrine (15). In the past, the Chevron doctrine provided a legal fig leaf to the Department of Education and other federal agencies seeking to escape accountability and issue intrusive regulations.
Seldom in American jurisprudence have judges issued a series of decisions within a period of just four weeks, all with the intended effect of blocking the implementation of ill-conceived and unlawful federal regulations.
As these lawsuits continue to be litigated, the 229 organizational members of the Title IX Network will continue to monitor the situation and take appropriate action (16). Interested organizations that wish to join the Title IX Network should contact Robert Thompson at [email protected]

Biden is an organically demented Marxist who works against the laws of nature and the teachings of Jesus Christ. He has no compulsion to protect born female athletes from being bullied by transgender females. I have no clue as to why he is still allowed to be part of the Catholic Church.
Common sense is prevailing. Refreshing to see.
Fight On!!
God created man and woman .It is not for us to change this
Thank GOD for sanity FINALLY!!! We’re NOT WOKE! But we’ve AWAKENED!!!! Luv it!
PRAISE THE LORD! Another victory for Jesus!!
Another victory for truth and common sense.
The sad part is that, if this was only an experiment, why would you use the lives of our young people to pull a stunt like this on???? The Trump haters are angry about the Supreme Court Roe vs. Wade decision and will let you know how it’s just fine for a female to decide to murder her fetus and now they want us to believe that God got it all wrong and we should be allowed to change what God has done!!! Too many of these confused youngsters get medications and surgeries too young in life and then regret it and wonder what happened to the adults in their lives!! And then there is the part of the experiment where the transgenders decided they should be allowed to complete against girls and women because they identify as a woman (still in a man’s body)!! All of this experimentation has failed miserably AND Democrats and liberals should be ashamed even trying this crap!!!
Thank God common sense has prevailed.
Thank goodness, and thank the Lord God Almighty for giving common sense and a sense of reality to the judges. Perhaps more common sense will once again prevail.
Democrats seem awfully preoccupied with the reproductive organs of children. Oh but then Joe DID shower with his teen daughter.
Glad to know that states are working to eliminate the “transgender” dangerous nonsense.
Biden is just following orders from Bama and Soros and most of Hollywood. He will do whatever Jill and his so-called carrying family tell him too. He has never been smart enough to make his own decisions. He and his bought and paid for cronies go where the money is no matter what. Just ask Pelosi, its all about money and insider trading
Great news, being a former educator, coach, both boys and girls teams, Athletic Director, and Administrator. The Idiocy of the Biden administration has caused much consternation, physical, and mental harm to our young athletes! (and non-athletes) Go against God and the laws of nature!
It’s wonderful to see there are still some people in place that have common sense and can rule in a manner that reflects simple and correct decisions without injecting emotion in the decision!
Thank the Lord above that we are finally returning to a state of SANITY.
AMEN!!!
Oh wait…can I say that?
This is one of their sickest-twisted-degenerate things these lowlifes enacted. This is an assault on our most vulnerable, our children, our grand children. This is as bad as their genocide mill, called planned parenthood, that had one plan, to prevent particular races from surviving into the future. Lining their pockets with the bloated budgets they created for themself
My wife tried to contend that a man on estrogen was no stronger than a woman. Don’t judge every man by the wreck that I am, I never took estrogen knowingly, but somewhere on the line about half the man I was got off. I wish he’d taken his short temper and cussing with him.
