LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Seven more Republican-led states sued Tuesday to challenge a new federal regulation that seeks to protect the rights of transgender students in the nation’s schools. Republican plaintiffs call the effort to fold protection for transgender students under the 1972 Title IX law unconstitutional. The lawsuits filed in federal courts in Missouri and Oklahoma are the latest GOP attempts to halt the new regulation seeking to clarify Title IX, a landmark 1972 sex discrimination law originally passed to address women’s rights and applied to schools and colleges...

Comedian Katt Williams took on the subject of reparations during his new Netflix stand-up special Woke Foke, saying the tens of billions of dollars the U.S. has sent to Ukraine should go instead to black Americans. Katt Williams’ special streamed live on Saturday from the YouTube Theater in Inglewood, California. The comedian joked about a wide range of subjects, including the bag of cocaine found at the White House and transgender athletes (“penginas” or “clitoris dickoris dock”?). But his bit about reparations has generated the most attention. “It is now...

Former collegiate swimmer Riley Gaines said that with his 2024 revision, President Joe Biden has basically “abolished Title IX” — a policy that was originally enacted to protect women and girls.

On Friday, Gaines broke down what Biden and Education Secretary Miguel Cardona have done by revising the law enacted in 1972. A summary of the new provisions “clarifies that sex discrimination includes discrimination based on sex stereotypes, sex characteristics, pregnancy or related conditions, sexual orientation, and gender identity.”

The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics voted Monday to ban transgender women from women’s competitions starting next school year, spurring concerns among transgender-rights advocates that the NCAA may follow suit.

At the NAIA’s national convention, the Council of Presidents determined that beginning Aug. 1, “only students whose biological sex is female” may compete in women’s sports. That includes transgender men or nonbinary students who are not receiving masculinizing hormones.

The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) banned transgender athletes from competing in women’s sports on Monday.

The NAIA said it supported "fair and safe competition for all student-athletes" and that "Title IX ensures there are separate and equal opportunities for female athletes." The organization laid out its participation rules with conditions.

"Participation by students in sports designated as male by the NAIA: All eligible NAIA student-athletes may participate in NAIA-sponsored male sports," the organization said.

A girls' high school basketball team forfeited a game earlier this month after several girls suffered injuries while playing against a trans-identifying male opponent.

The Collegiate Charter School of Lowell in Massachusetts forfeited a game against KIPP Academy on February 8 after a third player was injured. The decision to end the game was made by the team's coach at halftime.

"The bench was already depleted...

USA Boxing on Friday officially adopted a new transgender policy, which will permit males who identify as female to compete against females if they meet certain qualifications.

The new policy was first proposed in August 2022, as highlighted by National Review, and outlines that male athletes, in addition to claiming to be female, must complete “gender reassignment surgery” and test their testosterone levels for four years following such procedures.
