Those new Title IX regs will never see the light of regulatory day. They are going down, going down now, as the poet Robert Plant said.

Lawsuit, preliminary injunction, SCOTUS, and as that other great poet Paula White said:

The humane and logical solution presents itself to anyone of good faith trying to solve this:

Everyone gets to compete. Not everyone gets to compete against girls.

1) (XX-chromosome) women's division and

2) Open division for anyone with XY chromosomes and anyone else that wants to compete with them, no questions asked. This preserves privacy, dignity, and competition. No need to measure testosterone or get private parts examined. Also, it reveals if people actually want to compete or if they are just here to beat up on girls having somehow discovered a nominally progressive way to do so.

This opens the prospects for some women such as Mikaela Shiffrin or Courtney Dauwalter winning both. Bring it. The boys better ski/run faster if they want to stay ahead.

Indeed. Women's sports for women -- no XY need apply. To coin a phrase ... 😉🙂

Would FAIR consider doing a FOIL/FOIA request to obtain all the public comments the government got on this change? I wonder if the public comments were more for or against these changes?

That'd be interesting to see. The government is allowed to charge for FOIA fulfilment, so one wonders whether the total cost to a small organization like FAIR would be prohibitive.

From a more practical standpoint, there were hundreds of thousands of comments, and IIRC all FOIA requests are answered on paper by U.S. mail, so imagine what that would look like •___•

I think I remember reading that about 150,000 public comments on the Title IX changes had been 'lost', too.
