Biden creates tragedy for women's rights
The Biden administration’s Department of Education unveiled a sweeping set of rules on Friday that effectively erase protections for sex-based spaces by expanding the Title IX prohibition against sex discrimination to include “gender identity” — a term that’s never mentioned in the original law.There's also the serious issue of Planet Fitness enabling male predators to endanger women under the shield of protected-class status:
A majority of Americans agree that males who claim to identify otherwise should not be allowed to infiltrate girls’ and women’s sports teams. As of now, some 25 states have laws or regulations aimed at keeping boys and men out of female-only spaces, on and off the field.
Yet, come Aug. 1, the Democrat regime’s radial redefinition of “sex-based discrimination” poses a threat to sex-based protections and welcomes males into female spaces including athletic competitions, locker rooms, and sex-specific clubs such as sororities, despite state laws.
“The final regulations will help to ensure that all students receive appropriate support when they experience sex discrimination and that recipients’ procedures for investigating and resolving complaints of sex discrimination are fair to all involved,” the rules claim.
The regulations do even more damage, however, such as by undoing Trump-era due process safeguards for those accused of sexual misconduct, which could include merely using accurate pronouns. They also encroach on parents’ rights and threaten academic free speech by incentivizing schools to censor students and teachers with traditional views on sex and marriage so they don’t lose federal funding.
For many women,this isn’t an isolated incident. It represents a growing concern surrounding predator men targeting them in public, especially in restrooms and other vulnerable spaces, and their voices being dismissed. While left-wing activists recognize the incredible violation of a women targeted in a store by a predatory man filming under her skirt, the same people seem oddly dismissive of women concerned about violations in restrooms and locker rooms.Something to ponder: if Muslim practitioners were the main ones in the locker room, there's far less chance he'd do that, because of the horror story other Muslims would cause for him. People like that pervert always look for the easy targets, and "protected class" statuses have made things worse. As have, chillingly enough, Catholic women's schools who've allowed male transsexuals to enroll:
The primary barrier between the concerns many women express regarding these predators exploiting private spaces and being taken seriously seems to be a desire to protect specifically trans-identifying men. While LGBT activists have long insisted opposition to “inclusive” restroom policies is based on transphobic views, the concern has always been that predator males will abuse these policies.
From Advocate, an LGBT site, “The gym [Planet Fitness] chain recently defended its decision to revoke the membership of a woman who photographed another woman in a changing room. Patricia Silva was banned after she shared a video on Facebook featuring the other woman, who is transgender, while complaining about her presence in the woman’s locker room.”
This “other woman” was an obvious male, shaving his beard, with no signs of female presentation. The woman entered the changing room to see him standing in a towel and topless. Advocate mocked her, saying, “Silva also pearl-clutched over the woman being near a 12-year-old girl in the locker room, despite no incident or interaction taking place. She then said that after verbally berating the woman, she reported her to the staff at the front desk, who did not take action.”
A majority of the Catholic women’s colleges in the United States allow men who identify as transgender women to enroll, according to a new report—despite church teaching on gender and sex.Those schools operating in Minnesota don't shock me at all. Nor should it shock anybody why Christianity's on the sharp decline it's been on in past years. When they actually allow this kind of perversion, you can't be surprised when potential adherents want nothing to do with the Church of Rome anymore. And there you have one more example of how the USA's deteriorating rapidly.
The National Catholic Register reported on Friday that of the three dozen women’s colleges throughout the country, most are now admitting men. The publication notes that there are eight Catholic women’s colleges, all founded by Catholic female religious orders, and each of those colleges has an independent board of trustees that oversees them.
Five of the eight women’s colleges explicitly state on their websites that they allow men who identify as women to enroll in their institutions, according to the National Catholic Register. According to a pro-transgender organization, Campus Pride, two more of the colleges also allow trans-identifying students to enroll.
