Thank you, Mr. President, for moving to make male and female great again.
In the last few years, biological girls have seen their rights violated in school bathrooms and in sports. National confusion has ensued ever since the previous administration decided to reinterpret Title IX’s sex anti-discrimination clause to include self-proclaimed “gender identity.”
That may soon come to an end under the Trump administration.
The Department of Health and Human Services has drafted a memo that would reverse the Obama administration’s action and return the legal definition of “sex” under Title IX civil rights law to what its authors meant: sex rooted in unchanging biological reality. According to The New York Times, the memo was drafted last spring and has been circulating ever since.
Title IX bans sex discrimination in education programs that receive government financial assistance, meaning schools have to abide by the government’s interpretation of Title IX or risk losing federal funds.
When the Obama administration announced it was including “gender identity” under the word “sex,” many schools felt they had to treat gender identity as the standard for determining access to bathrooms, sports teams, etc. The result was headlines like “Transgender Athletes Dominate High School Women’s Sports.”
The memo spells out the proposed definition of “sex” as applied to federal statutes as “a person’s status as male or female based on immutable biological traits identifiable by or before birth.” The proposed definition won’t include a “select a gender” option, as was offered under the Obama administration.

Good! No more pretend women competing in women's sports!
Don't forget to remove the trophies of those who wrong to get them.
And Bruce, you're still a male, no matter how many procedures you have, and how many women's bravery accolades you have on your wall.
It's funny, no one cared about what bathroom anyone was using until it became legislation.
Transgenders have been using what ever bathroom they see fit for it's intended purpose, evacuating bodily waste, without incident for quite a long time before this need for law.
I have nothing against transgenders, they exist, and always have in very, very small percentages of population.
When it comes to those who have been traumatized and victimized, I assure you, it is almost always minorities or those who are "different" who are ostracized.
To be sure, transgenders "girls" should not be competing against biological girls. It's just simple biology. It's unfortunate there is not a high enough population of transgenders for their own league, but that's life. May be they can participate with their biological counterparts to be more equitable and show better sportsmanship.
Finally, some common sense!!
Not everyone needs to condone your choice of sexual identity.
Unless you are born aphroditic, you are what you're born with. Period. End of discussion.
Chromosomes rule!
BUT,
Obtaining my Bachelor's degree in G.L.B.T. studies at Salisbury University has been a waste of time?
MOMMY !!!!!!!
