A sad day for the echo-chamber.
The Biden administration’s attempt to rewrite Title IX to allow men in women’s sports, locker rooms, and bathrooms, has been struck down nationwide by a federal court.

Twenty-six states sued to stop the regulations from going into effect, and the Supreme Court in August provided a temporary stay of the rules. But now a federal court has blocked the regulations from going into effect for all states – even those that didn’t sue to block the regulations.

Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita, one of the attorneys general who led the charge against the change to Title IX, called the latest ruling a “huge win.”

Have they figured out your sex so you can enter the proper washroom?
Or are you so unique that they must find another classification for you?

Enjoy your notoriety

The bill and subsequent lawsuit that was upheld had absolutely nothing to do with the above. Try learning about the bill and why the federal appeals court struck it down nah.

You need to learn how to separate cable news commentary from facts.

Title IX came into being in 1972. Similarly to exaggerating and even lying about Roe vs Wade to rile uo ppl (eg babies are murdered immediately after birth) so too they lie about Biden Admins attempted amendments. Biden aimed to protect all persons in a school environment (eg can't fire someone for being or suspected of being gay). Conservatives jump on the bathroom and sports bandwagon to hide true aims and prejudices

when i was a schoolboy there is nothing i would have loved more than be able to share the girls locker-room -- i can remember in lower elementary school, little boys use to put a piece of broken mirror on their shoe top so when they stood close to a girl they could see under their dresswinkwink

Oh crap! More stuff for the misfits to be outraged over:

Mark Zuckerberg has ordered the removal of tampons from men's bathrooms at Meta's offices. As per reports, Mark Zuckerberg ordered the removal of tampons from men's restrooms at Meta offices in New York, Texas, and California, including Silicon Valley, reports New York Times. It is also reported that business managers were instructed to remove tampons from men's bathrooms, which Meta provided to non-binary and transgender employees using the men's bathroom.


Echo-chamber! Assemble! lol

If I were to see a tampon in men's bathroom it wouldn't bother me one bit, just as nothing I see in a men's bathroom bothers me. Okay. not quite true. I am bothered by men who go to the loo, and walk out without washing their hands, making me wonder who and what they touch next. Otherwise, I go in there, do my thing, clean up and leave.

What I find amazing- Flagrantly hostile to so-called queer people GOP Will
A. Accept without a whimper George Santos because he's a house vote
B. Welcome Peter Thiel's millions and support of cross-dressing Vance because it strengthens their hand.
C. Refuse to denounce the battyman Senator who was arrested for pushing his foot into the adjacent toilet stall to solicit the undercover detective.

What a set of hypocrites!!!

Sad day for the echo-chamber misfits. Their dream of normalizing men competing in women's sports has gone. How will the delusionals cope now?

Reps. Vicente Gonzalez and Henry Cuellar, both of Texas, were the only Democrats to side with Republicans on Tuesday to pass legislation meant to bar transgender athletes from competing in girls and women’s sports.

It is so sad how easily historically marginalized people are distracted and manipulated.

Focus on the 100s of millions of transgender people trying to pillage and plunder... ignore the Apartheid oligarchy that has become great again.

Focus on 10000s of horrendous experiences you've had with LGBQT people as they tried grope you in public.

BUT....

Make indentureship great again.

Ignore even the NBA is under attack for being woke and DEI enabled. These DEI hires of the NBA are overpaid and yet they won't shut up and dribble.

Ignore that DEI is what freed you from slavery. Focus on the the fact even though the LGBQT is but a small subset of DEI...make it the biggest issue.

Ignore that a white criminal is your president while black criminals get the full treatment.

The LGBQT crowd is soooooo much more dangerous than the gun toting bible thumpers.

What's a little school shooting compared to education about people who have hormonal differences and are a bit confused??

Same old tactics from slavery days.

Maybe you can’t blame white men for not wanting people of color to get meaning-full positions in society. (Well they didn’t want white women to even go to college or vote either). They said we couldn’t be quarterbacks, baseball pitchers, gymnasts, etc. because we lacked certain necessities. (google Al Campanis) they let us in and we excel, became some of the elites.

Read the book and/or watch the movie “hidden Figures” – see who were the reliable and indispensable mathematician and computer data managers.

It’s very much worth the effort. And the young black female mathematician who worked on the Nassa space program had to go to court to get permission to attend the University of Virginia to get her advanced degree. she was not allowed to attend day classes, so she had to go to night classes.

Misfits, gather in the echo chamber! Time to protest !!
Donald Trump is expected to issue a slew of executive actions on Monday that would impact transgender Americans, including an executive order declaring that the U.S. government will only recognize a person’s gender assigned at birth,
