Once again, the Biden administration is promoting mass delusion at the expense of women\u2019s rights. Males have stolen at least 30 titles from female athletes between 2003 and 2022; and if the Biden administration has its way, many more titles could be stolen in the near future, in addition to scholarships and other opportunities.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year Biden officials announced a\u00a0proposed regulation<\/a>\u00a0allowing students to participate in sports teams \u201cconsistent with their gender identity.\u201d In other words, boys who \u201cidentify\u201d as girls could compete among and against girls in girls\u2019 and women\u2019s sports. Identify means basically saying they are girls; they don\u2019t have to dress like girls or in any other way distinguish themselves as female.<\/p>\n

The rule also lowers the age of application to kindergarten, dangerously attempting to normalize the idea that elementary-aged children can fully understand the implications of \u201cidentifying\u201d as the opposite sex.<\/p>\n

The regulation would override state laws protecting female student athletes from being forced to compete against or share a locker room with men.\u00a0It would also bar federally-funded schools from implementing a \u201ccategorical ban\u201d on boys who \u201cidentify\u201d as girls from participating in girls\u2019 sports.<\/p>\n

Currently,\u00a021 states<\/a>\u00a0have passed legislation to protect women\u2019s sports in recent months, but those new laws would all be nullified with Biden\u2019s new proposal.<\/p>\n

While the Biden administration claims it will allow schools some \u201cflexibility,\u201d\u00a0pro-family advocates believe schools will face federal intervention over poorly-defined offenses.\u00a0For example, the proposed rule states that schools may only lock men out of the women\u2019s locker rooms if it is \u201csubstantially related to the achievement of an important educational objective,\u201d and schools must \u201cminimize harms\u201d to any student excluded from participating in sports with the opposite sex.<\/p>\n

Nicole Neily, founder off Parents Defending Education, says, \u201cWithout a doubt, institutions are going to err on the side of \u2018inclusion,\u2019 because they fear the wrath of the Education Department \u2014 thus, achieving the Department\u2019s end goal while allowing them to maintain plausible deniability that they coerced districts into doing so.\u201d<\/p>\n

Title IX was initially implemented to protect opportunities that were previously denied to women and girls. However, the Biden administration\u2019s new rule would unravel Title IX. If it takes effect, women\u2019s sports, at least in schools, could be eradicated. As US Senator Marsha Blackburn from Tennessee puts it, \u201cSports will soon be divided into a team of men and a team of folks who used to be men, while women are sidelined from the opportunity to compete.\u201d<\/p>\n

Biological realities tell us that it\u2019s entirely illogical to allow men to compete against women in sports and pretend that the competition is fair.\u00a0When competing against women,\u00a0men boast an advantage<\/a>\u00a0even greater than if an athlete were taking performance enhancing drugs.\u00a0Men have\u00a010-30 percent greater muscle strength, greater bone density, better oxygen efficiency, larger heart and lungs, and 10 percent more overall body mass, among other advantages.<\/p>\n

Alliance Defending Freedom Senior Counsel Christiana Kiefer says, \u201cThe Biden administration\u2019s proposed rules are a slap in the face to female athletes who deserve equal opportunity to compete in their sports.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wisconsin legislators last session introduced bills designed to protect women\u2019s and girls\u2019 sports at both the\u00a0K-12<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0collegiate<\/a>\u00a0levels. The Assembly passed the bills, but the Senate did not take up either of them. Governor Evers, who has repeatedly voiced his support for the entirety of the LGBTQ+ agenda, and in particular, for the transgender craze, would have undoubtedly vetoed the bill. However, having the discussion in public is important. \u00a0In this current session, no bills dealing with this issue have yet been introduced.<\/p>\n

The time for public input to the department is over. Now we wait to see whether the officials will actually adopt and enforce the rule. Much is at stake with this issue, including whether we will allow the respect and dignity of female athletes to be violated at the behest of gender-confused men and a delusional administration. But it goes beyond that. Ultimately, this is about denying the Creator God Who created male and female and then pronounced His human creations as \u201cvery good.\u201d\u00a0 We dare not be part of even tacitly condoning that which blasphemes our thrice holy God.<\/p>\n

This is Julaine Appling with Wisconsin Family Council reminding you the prophet Hosea said, \u201cMy people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.\u201d<\/p>\n
