Faced with entrenched and aggressive opposition to a rule change that would open the floodgates for men to play women’s sports, the Biden administration has abandoned its efforts to rewrite landmark legislation to serve the transgender agenda. In a dose of dry, bureaucratic language, the Education Department its surrender, saying that the proposal to Title IX, a rule that ensures equal opportunity for women, so that transgender individuals would be allowed to do as they please would be withdrawn. The Education Department said that with more than 150,000 public comments on President Joe Biden’s effort to institutionalize to women’s sports, multiple lawsuits to block the rule, and the upcoming end to the Biden administration, it was dropping efforts to impose the rule, according to .
The rule, had it been imposed, would have allowed men access to women’s sports, as well as bathrooms, locker rooms, and other facilities. The Biden administration had proposed the rule in April 2023. 🚨🚨🚨 Women’s sports are being saved.
The Biden administration is withdrawing its Title IX proposal which forced schools to allow trans-identifying male athletes into girls’ sports. They know they’ve lost. Common sense is emerging.
Your courage is making the difference...

S. Department of Education has taken a step in the right direction by withdrawing this proposed change,” he said. “As the withdrawal admitted, many Americans voiced their opposition to the rule change, and there are many pending lawsuits related to protecting women’s sports — including a comment submitted by Alliance Defending Freedom and multiple lawsuits brought by ADF to protect women’s sports,” he said.
“The decision to withdraw the proposed sports rule merely reflects the views of the vast majority of Americans who believe that women’s sports should remain reserved for female athletes,” he said. By withdrawing the rule instead of allowing President-elect Donald Trump to amend it, Karoline Leavitt, a representative of Trump, said the White House was “adding more red tape and making it more difficult for him to govern,” according to . Oh my giddy aunt.
This is huge. The US Government has abandoned plans to amend Title IX which would have punished colleges for keeping men out of women’s sports. Boom! MEGA BOOM! — Barry Thain 🟥 (@mindsci) “President Trump will not be deterred by their dirty tricks and will use every lever of power to reverse the damage Biden has done and implement his America First agenda,” Leavitt said.
Writing on , Ian Miller noted, “It’s clear that the administration knew that this rule to protect transgender athletes had no chance of surviving the lawsuits and court of public opinion. Especially after the re-election of Donald Trump showed that the country overwhelmingly disapproved of such extremism. “ “But it’s also clear that they wanted to bury this announcement as to avoid scrutiny and criticism from the political left.
So they chose to dump it on the Friday before Christmas, with most of the country checked out of the news or focused on the first game of the new College Football Playoff era,” he wrote, adding, “Sounds about right for how this disgraceful administration has conducted itself for the past four years.” This is a win..

. — Candice Jackson (@CEJacksonLaw) Calling the Biden plan a “direct repudiation” of what Title IX “was supposed to be about,” Miller noted, “It will no longer fall to lawsuits for women and their families, or sane states, to protect themselves against the absurdity of enshrining protections for ‘gender identity’ into Title IX.” “It’s clear that the culture has reached an inflection point with trans athletes, and this might be the most obvious sign yet that sanity is winning,” he wrote.
