A federal court blocked Biden’s Title IX changes, halting efforts to redefine sex as gender identity. Critics hail it as a win for women’s rights.

The ruling: Eastern District of Kentucky Court Chief Judge Danny Reeves in an order Thursday said the regulation on Title IX, the federal law that bars sex-based discrimination, is unlawful. He said the rule is “arbitrary and capricious” and violates the spending clause and the First Amendment, among other issues.

The Biden rule, which makes ‘gender identity’ a protected class similar to sex, ‘turns Title IX on its head,’ the judge wrote.

The decision threw out the administration’s proposed regulations, which prohibited discrimination based on gender identity.

A federal judge in Kentucky vacated the regulations, which bolstered the rights of victims of sexual misconduct and LGBTQ+ students.
