Since this ruling is dictating the very definition of "biological sex" in Title IX, isn't the Supreme Court offering states the option to overlook sexual harassment/assault reports from transgender people - or even transfeminine people specifically?

Yeah, I do find the collapsing of intermediate scrutiny a major issue. Depending on how that gets read by other courts, it could have impacts far, far beyond trans people.

For clarification, not to dismiss.

This can maybe be cleaned up rather quickly if we simply define biological sex by current hormones rather than by best guess genitals at birth.

Being trans is part of "biological sex". The extremist right-wingers call their binaristic view about biology "biological". But their view about biology is called gender, the social construct of putting people into boxes based on pseudoscientific ideas. Sex isn't a binary.

Why is it anti-trans?? Does it mean they get whatever they want because they now wear a dress no matter who it hurts?? What about a woman's right to compete against women in their own sport?? Why should women get their rights stripped away?? Why can't trans compete against men?? Thank U scotus!!

I spent what little career I had stridently arguing for an aggressive and affirmative definition of sex because I knew that Title IX protection was paramount. And it has come to this, in an argument before the court that I can only call "grovelling".

5. And though the majority avoided saying that blue states must discriminate against trans people under Title IX, its holding leaves wide lanes for the Trump administration to pressure schools and colleges through funding threats and investigations, and for far-right organizations like the ADF.

Bostock essentially stated that "sex" under Title VII included gender identity. This is a legal divergence is it not? Now we'll have interpretations in education, versus those in employment?

What a despicable ruling in the US Supreme Ct. it’s a very sad time in the US rn. Thank you for working so hard to not let this slip through the cracks

I just to want to live my life🫩✌️

smth i noticed about the dissent bsky.app/profile/goog...

America, Russia, Britain, India; Democracy, Oligarchy Autocracy, liberal or conservative, it matters not the flock, the cissexual will always seek to stamp out our kind. We must focus now on the construction of mutual aid networks and secure a future for our race no matter the oppressors' intent.

Thank you for the clarification regarding the scope of these opinions

I really hate saying this, but this is just another step on the road of transgender genocide in the US. :( Where the fascists go from here is only going to be worse for trans people all across the US.

What's the soonest point these rulings could be undone?

The focus on sports was always a fools errand. Boys even before puberty in large are stronger than girls. Are we really going to be testing children as they get older to make sure they are taking their medicine? Are we going to have schools going over records of when you started transitioning?

Mfs who obsess and talk about biological sex when I tell them the brain is the part of biology

@erininthemorning.com It's fucking awful. I'm so sorry.
