The critics argued that the rewrite will allow transgender athletes to participate in girls’ and women’s sports.

A Kentucky federal judge blocked the Biden Administration’s attempt at redefining sex under Title IX to “gender identity,” blocking the change across the country.

Cardona V. Tennessee was decided by the U.S. District Court Eastern District of Kentucky Northern Division on Thursday.

In a recent post on X, Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti stated that the state and country had won another massive victory. This morning, the federal court in Washington DC ruled against Biden’s administration and overturned its radical new Title IX rule.

“The court’s order is resounding victory for the protection of girls’ privacy in locker rooms and showers, and for the freedom to speak biologically-accurate pronouns.”

Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) released a press release on the ruling.

It is obvious that the Biden-Harris Administration completely lost their way with Title IX. Title IX was created to ensure fairness and equality for women and girls. By removing the long-standing protections, they betrayed that original intention. “It’s good to see that this harmful regulation has been overturned,” said he. “With President Trump, and a Republican Majority in Congress, we’ll ensure that women and girls will have every chance to succeed in the classroom and on the field.”

The decision came after the Supreme Court had rejected the Biden Administration’s emergency request for enforcement of portions of a newly-drafted rule which would have protected transgender students from discrimination under Title IX.

In April, the sweeping rule clarified that Title IX prohibits “sex”-based discrimination in school and includes discrimination based upon gender identity, sexuality and “pregnancy or other related conditions.”

The law took effect on Aug. 1. For the first time in its history, it stated that discrimination against a person based solely on their gender identity is also prohibited.

More than 20 attorneys general sued over the rule. They argued that it was in conflict with state laws which prohibit transgender children from playing women’s sports.

The court stated that “When Title IX in its entirety is viewed, it is abundantly obvious that discrimination based on sex is discrimination based on being male or female.” As this Court and others explained, expanding the definition of “on the basis sex” to include “gender identity” turns Title IX upside down.

Title IX was intended to equalize the playing field for men and women. However, there are many exceptions which allow females and males to be separated on the basis of the physical differences that exist between the sexes.

Kristen Waggoner said that the ruling is a “colossal victory for women and girls in the U.S.”

She added, “The Biden administration’s radical attempt at redefining sex threw fairness, safety and privacy for females students out of the window and threatened parental rights and free speech.” The federal court in Kentucky has rejected the Biden rule as well as the illegal actions of the administration. We thank Jonathan Skrmetti, the Tennessee Attorney General and other state attorneys for their leadership in challenging this outrageous overreach along with our brave clients.

This ruling is a huge relief to students all over the country. It includes our client, who was harassed by a student male in her locker room and while she was on her team. The U.S. Supreme Court could further protect girls such as our client by granting the cases brought by ACLU against West Virginia laws and Idaho laws which protect women’s sport.”
