This proposed rule will be open for comment until September 12 and the comments can be sent to U.S. If it is adopted, it will have the force of federal law. So where does this stand right now? Administrative rules must follow a specific path before they can be adopted, in this case the legal requirement is that the proposed rule be published and the public given time to submit comments, after which the agency - which is entirely controlled by the president - will review all the comments and either adopt the regulation, modify and adopt the regulation, or reject the regulation. Nice little kettle of fish our devout Catholic president has cooked up for all you parents out there. She will be in a position to lose not only her innocence but athletic scholarships to вЂњtransвЂќ girls, biological males who identify as women. So when your little girl goes off to band camp, guess who she might be forced to bunk with? SheвЂ™ll not only be forced to compete against biological men at basketball, but would have to shower with them as well. Thus if a local Catholic school has as much as a school lunch program that involves federal funds, that school must follow the Biden guidelines. Under the proposed regulation no activity or facility can segregate by sex sexual orientation will be respected in everything without regard to privacy rights, moral objections, or even the potential loss of girlsвЂ™ and womenвЂ™s opportunities.ДЄnd the rule applies to any school that takes any direct or indirect federal aid, religious or not. That was immediately withdrawn by the Trump administration.Д«ut now the Biden administration is not only reformulating ObamaвЂ™s earlier definitions, but it is putting them into the closest thing to a law they can pass: an administrative regulation finding that sex means orientation in all academic activities - showers, lodging, athletic activities including teams, and the like. This included resorting to the courts as well as administrative agencies.ДЇast forward to the last years of the Obama administration when the civil rights divisions of the Justice Department and the Education Department sent a вЂњdear colleagueвЂќ letter to school administrators across the nation suggesting to them that the administrationвЂ™s interpretation of the word sex in Title IX would include gender identity and encouraged them to govern themselves accordingly. Defeated, but not surrendering, the liberals resorted to other measures to achieve their desired ends without a direct congressional imprimatur. It did not take long for the left to pick up on the concept of вЂњorientation disturbanceвЂќ to gain a foothold and the effort began to change the definition of вЂњsexвЂќ in federal law to include вЂњsexual identity,вЂќ but reluctant lawmakers never approved the change. This was right at the high point of the WomenвЂ™s Movement and was intended to increase opportunities for girls and women in sports and other facets of their lives. Ironically at about this time, 1972, Congress adopted Title IX to provide equal access for women in the academy. ReillyвЂ™s 2014 book, Making Gay Okay: How Rationalizing Homosexual Behavior is Changing Everything.ДЇrom there some segments of society began the push to redefine the concept of sex from one of biological reality to self-identification. The story of how the вЂњmental disorderвЂќ was upgraded to an issue of sexual orientation is told in Robert R.

The idea that dysphoria was a mental condition was roundly attacked by the progressives until 1973 when it was removed from the category of mental disorder and reclassified as a sexual orientation disturbance by the American Psychiatric Association. It was a time when some argued beyond the traditional viewpoint that there were men, women, and some few who felt attracted to persons of the same sex, homosexuals or lesbians, who suffered from gender dysphoria, which was widely recognized as a mental illness. The idea goes back to the days, not that long ago, when the concept of gender identity was beginning to break ground in the American conscience. They are seemingly trying to erase any lines between the sexes you are what you think you are, is the new mantra. Well, it seems that our friends on the Progressive Left are at it again.
