Western District of Louisiana Chief Judge Terry Doughty shot down Biden’s bid to force women to compete against men by citing the actual law.

Title XI, Biden’s weapon of choice, had been explictly created to protect the rights of women. That’s why some ‘feminists’ had been arguing for getting rid of it.

All Judge Doughty, a Trump appointee, had to do was quote Title XI.

Title IX lists several exemptions which use the language “one sex” or “both sexes” showing that the statute was referring to biological men and biological women, not gender identity, sexual orientation, sex stereotypes, or sex characteristics.

In 1974, Congress enacted legislation instructing regulations to be promulgated “which shall include with respect to intercollegiate athletic activities reasonable provisions concerning the nature of particular sports.” Those regulations allowed a school “to provide separate teams for ‘men and women’ where the provisions of only one team would ‘not accommodate the interests and ability of both sexes

Additionally, 20 U.S.C. § 1686 of Title IX states that nothing contained in Title IX shall be construed to prohibit any educational facility from “maintaining separate living facilities for the different sexes.”

The law is invariably clear. But these days judges routinely decide to simply ignore the law when it’s inconvenient. It’s refreshing when a judge quotes it instead.
