The crux of the Biden administration’s revisions to Title IX is the redefinition of “sex” to include “gender identity” and “sexual orientation.” This expansive interpretation mandates that educational institutions acknowledge and use the preferred pronouns of students, under threat of losing federal funding for non-compliance. Additionally, the administration’s guidelines enforce non-segregation in facilities like locker rooms and bathrooms based on gender identity.
Georgia’s Attorney General Chris Carr, a vocal opponent of these changes, expressed his concerns on Monday. “The Biden administration is destroying women’s sports by gutting commonsense provisions that protect female athletes and demanding that biological males be allowed to compete against females,” Carr stated emphatically. “Today we have taken action to defend women’s rights to fair competition, and we will keep fighting until we end this absurdity once and for all.”
The lawsuit itself accuses President Biden of overreaching his executive powers by circumventing the legislative process. “While different administrations can have different policy views, they cannot override the text that Congress enacted in 1972 or overrule the binding precedent of this circuit. The Biden rule does both—to the detriment of the States, their schools, and their students. For a host of reasons, this new rule violates the Administrative Procedure Act and should be set aside,” it argues.
