Biden's Department of Education issued a regulatory rule to change the definition of "sex." Under Title IX, instead of "sex" being defined by biology, it will now be redefined to include "sexual orientation," "gender identity," and "sex stereotypes." This hollow and fluid redefinition will endanger our sons and daughters. With the definition change, it will open the door for men to introduce into women's spaces and activities like locker rooms, sports teams, and even dorm rooms. This rule change would: 1.) Deprive women of privacy and safety. 2.) Destroy women's sports by allowing men to compete with them. 3.) Harm childhood development by redefining sex and gender. 4.) Negatively impact the educational and career opportunities of women. Every rule change requires a period of time during which the public can write comments about the proposed change. The government must respond to each of these comments. Grassroots activists have submitted over 5,000 comments. If there is enough of an outcry, it is possible to compel the government to reverse their rule change. Twice before, the Biden administration has withdrawn rules because of public backlash. It would radically rewrite Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. For fifty years, Title IX has been enforced using the self-evident definition of "sex" - a person's status as male or female based on immutable biological traits. The new rule proposed by Biden's Department of Education will redefine "sex" as used in Title IX to include "sex stereotypes, sex-related characteristics (including intersex traits), pregnancy or related conditions, sexual orientation, and gender identity." The consequences of such a rule change would be monumental. -by JANAE STRACKE - Director of Grassroots Heritage Action For America - Washington, DC
