WASHINGTON, D.C. – Yesterday, America First Legal (AFL), and its counsel, Christopher Mills, proudly continued AFL’s ongoing fight to protect Title IX and girls’ sports from the Biden Administration’s extreme gender ideology agenda in an amicus brief filed with the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit in The State of Tennessee, et al., v. Department of Education, et al. 

To advance his extreme and dehumanizing “gender” agenda, Biden  issued an executive order declaring that Title IX and other laws prohibiting “sex discrimination” – historically understood to prohibit discrimination based on immutable human biology – actually prohibit discrimination based on self-declared “gender identity or sexual orientation.” The Department of Education and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission then issued guidance illegally rewriting laws that Congress enacted. Twenty states sued to stop this, and the District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee granted a preliminary injunction blocking Biden’s agenda. Biden has appealed. 

Title IX was written to protect girls’ sports, womens’ bathrooms and locker rooms, and equal opportunity, while recognizing the immutable biological reality that boys and girls are different. The Biden Administration’s magical thinking that transforms sex from an objective biological fact into a subjective preference puts girls and women at risk of physical harm, taking away the statutory rights that they have enjoyed for almost fifty years, all without Congressional authorization. America First Legal is proud to keep defending Title IX and girls’s sports against Biden’s science deniers and gender ideology radicals.
