The US Dept of Education has proposed rule changes to Title IX. That is the law that protects women’s sports. It will come as no surprise that the proposed rules gut women’s and girl’s sports. In some cases banning it completely.
A thread. 🧵 1/
The proposed rule says that any policies that categorically set up women’s and girls’ sports would violate Title IX. Oh, they phrase it differently but that’s what it means. 2/
Yes. You read that right. If you have girls sports that are for girls only that can now VIOLATE Title IX.
3/
There are some rules around when you can and can’t have girls sports. For example, if they don’t think the sports are that competitive, and the sports are more for fun, and the kids are young, you can’t have girls only sports. 4/
Schools have to take into consideration that sometimes sports is about participation. The younger the students the more sports is to be considered for participation and learning skills and that is why you may not have girls only. 5/
As students get older and sports become more competitive then it might be possible to have girls only. (Though by then many of the girls may have already self excluded.) At the high school and college level it may be possible to have girls only sports in competitions if it helps a school meet an important educational objective. (This will be a key phrase. It implies the burden is on the school to prove it. If you can’t meet this objective no girls only sports.) 6/
It also depends on the type of sport whether it can be female only. 7/
The proposed regulation focuses on minimizing the harms to the male students they would experience if excluded.
(The harms to the girls by all these proposals? Eh. Whatever. ) 8/
In December 2023, a UN expert said this would harm women and by girls by taking away scholarship opportunities and deny them the right to compete fairly.
The change would also lead to the removal of intimate spaces such as separate shower facilities and locker rooms. 9/
10/ Feb 2, 2024 the dept of ed sent over their final revisions to Title IX. The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs is reviewing the proposed rules and meeting with interested parties through at least April 4.
Final regs are expected this spring or summer.

“I’m a woman. I’m a progressive woman. I always vote for women’s rights. I would consider myself to be a feminist. I am not in a way shape or form, nor is my femininity threatened by the existence of transwomen.”

Women were forced to shower with a man in a shelter or else they were thrown out of the shelter. 2/
Women are now being impregnated in women’s prisons because they are being housed with men. 3/
This story happened in 2018 but I didn’t not hear of it then. People have no clue how bad things are for women now.
Women in a shelter were FORCED to shower with a man. Forced. 1/
Nine women sued the shelter called Naomi House in California because it required them to shower in groups. The shelter allowed a man in to the shelter and he got to shower with them against the women’s will. He made lewd and sexually inappropriate comments to them. 2/
The women repeatedly complained but were told they had to RESPECT the man who was violating their space and who was sharing their shower.
If they didn’t like it they had to leave the shelter and live on the street.
This is what “inclusive” ideology forces upon women. 3/
According to Libs of TT this bear was placed outside of a hotel for a private Pride event.
If you want to advertise that your movement combines a child’s toy and adult bondage fetish gear, what do you think the public will think about your movement? 1/
No, seriously. I really want to know what on EARTH you think you are doing.
And what on earth is a hotel doing putting this outside of its grounds?
This is as bad as the Balenciaga child bondage ad campaign. 2/
I cannot for the life of me imagine why a group of people want to be run out of town on the rails, but this is a really good way to get that done.
I don’t think you quite know what the temperature is right now. But making it hotter is not wise. Really. Seriously. 3/
Pride month is about to start and you are going to be hurt about the people who are angry about this. You will think it is because they are phobic or something. What I am about to say should give your great solace. 1/
Now, most of you who think this will never see this post bc the algorithm only feeds you what you want to hear. Same with the news. And politicians want you to think people have dislike for you so they can con you into voting for them to protect you. 2/
Worse, influencers will project that narrative because they know anger pushes threads. Even people in your own community will push this lie. They think they are hurting their opponents with false lies about them. Sadly, they only hurt the people who believed them. 3/
