President Donald Trump’s Justice Department (DOJ) is backing the lawsuit by three high school females who say their sex-based Title IX rights are violated by biological males entering their competitions, claiming to be females.
Sanity! At last! Protecting women’s right is not discrimination against transgenders, period. Protect women!
The case is Soule vs. Connecticut Association of Schools, Inc., No. 3:20-cv-00201 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut.
On Wednesday, the DOJ issued a “statement of interest” in response to the lawsuit filed by three high school athletes in Connecticut challenging rules that allow individuals to compete in sports based on “gender identity” rather than biological sex.
Allowing biological males who identify as females to compete in sports against biological females prevents females from being able to participate in single-sex athletics.
TITLE IX PROHIBITS SEX DISCRIMINATION
The DOJ states it violates the protections granted to women through Title IX.
“Under CIAC’s interpretation of Title IX, however, schools may not account for the real physiological differences between men and women. Instead, schools must have certain biological males — namely, those who publicly identify as female — compete against biological females,” Barr and department officials wrote, according to the Associated Press. “In so doing, CIAC deprives those women of the single-sex athletic competitions that are one of the marquee accomplishments of Title IX.”
Title IX is a federal civil rights law passed as part of the Education Amendments of 1972. This law protects people from discrimination based on sex in education programs or activities that receive Federal financial assistance.
Title IX states: “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.”
The DOJ says the law discriminates against them since Title IX prohibits discrimination solely “on the basis of sex,” not transgender status.
The ACLU is unhappy:
“The [communist] American Civil Liberties Union, whose attorneys represent the two transgender athletes who run track in Connecticut, said it was deeply troubled that the U.S. government would weigh in to ‘make clear that it does not believe girls who are trans enjoy protections under federal law,'” AP reported.

If you have a “Y” chromosome, you must compete, in single-sex sports, only with other “Y” chromosome persons. How you feel about yourself is irrelevant to the competition.
There are rules in sports that prohibit the use of drugs including steroids to enhance performance. Thinking you are the opposite sex doesn’t mean you are. It’s a psychological malfunction or aberration but it does not change gender. or DNA. DNA tests would prove what sex a person is. Gender should be determined scientifically not based on preferential gender identity by the psychologically impaired. 100 years ago 8/26/1920 women’s rights were constitutionally passed and continued to advance. All this alphabet soup of gender identity by a minority of delusional people has accomplished is to set those rights and advancements back and invade the privacy, security, and deny protection of biological girls and women. That intrusion should not be tolerated or allowed by law There are only 2 gender fluids; Vaginal and Seminal.No human has both created in the same body, And you can’t have it both ways to fit a neurotic psychosis agenda by abusing biological women’s rights. Enough of this PC societal stupidity there is nothing correct about convoluted logic.
The athletes that compete in Special and Paralympics are to be applauded for recognizing the differences and difficulty that faces them in competitions, and have established an equal playing field in which they can participate and compete. Create your own Tranny competition, rather than cheating women out of theirs because of misguided manipulation of their spots activities. and competitions.
All of this fighting back is beautiful! Just say no to totalitarian control freak tyrants.
Title IX rules need to be rewritten to block this nonsense from continuing in other states and from ever happening again. These things are not girls! When these young ladies win their case, and I hope they ca$h in big time, this case can be used as precedent for any legal challenges to rewriting Title IX rules.
