A federal court in Kentucky has vacated the Biden administration's unlawful Title IX rewrite on a nationwide basis, halting changes that would have expanded the definition of sex to include gender identity. The court's decision in the case of State of Tennessee v. Cardona prevents the implementation of policies that would have allowed biological males to participate in women's sports, access women's bathrooms and locker rooms, and penalize individuals for mispronouncing pronouns. This ruling is being hailed as a victory for women's rights and protections, safeguarding women's privacy and ensuring fairness in sports and education. Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares and other officials have expressed support for the decision, emphasizing its significance in upholding the original intent of Title IX.
