A federal court has blocked the implementation of Joe Biden’s latest re-write of Title IX education rules in six more states after a West Virginia middle school girl sued her state for being forced to compete in school sports with a boy who identifies as a transgender girl.
The injunction prevents Biden’s rules from taking effect in Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana, Virginia, and West Virginia. This ruling follows a similar decision in Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, and Idaho, where the rules were also blocked.
U.S. District Judge Terry A. Doughty called the new rules an “abuse of power” and a “threat to democracy.”

The recent ruling asserts that Biden’s changes are “impossible to square” with the original purpose of Title IX, according to Fox News. The court emphasized that the rules mandate schools to allow biological men into women’s spaces and vice versa based solely on gender identity, which conflicts with the broader educational protection for all students.
“Veronica” Garcia is a boy who cheated his way to first place in the girls’ 400M Dash last Saturday.
How does he feel about that?In an interview with RunnerSpace right after the race, “Veronica” says (with his very male voice) that it’s, “Just another day at the office.”

This brings the total number of states where Biden’s rules have been temporarily blocked to ten.

Women’s sports advocate Riley Gaines celebrated the ruling, stating, “This is a huge win. The gender ideology house of cards is crumbling fast. I hope every generation following mine has the same opportunity to compete and succeed that I was fortunate to have. But if it’s up to Biden and the progressive Democrats, they won’t.”
