Biden administration withdraws proposed rule limiting transgender bans in sports

Source: MSN

(Reuters) - The Biden administration on Friday withdrew a proposed rule change that would have prohibited schools from banning transgender athletes from teams matching their gender identities.

The administration notified the public that it had withdrawn the proposed rule in the Federal Register.

The administration had proposed the rule in April 2023, inviting the public to comment. It said on Friday that it had received more than 150,000 public replies.

Many of the comments were against the proposed rule, the administration wrote in its Federal Register filing. That, along with multiple pending lawsuits related to gender identity and sports, led the administration "not to regulate on this issue at this time."

And the mere prospect of the further outrage that is certain to come over the next few years just makes it worse.

This may be a political move. Frankly it's not a winning issue.

Human rights are never a "winning" issue... You fight for them because they are RIGHT

I wish you and so many here would stop and see the hurt such posts have caused to the trans community

When does it stop?

objectively determining even the average relative physical advantage of a boy or man competing head to head with girls or women. It also tends not to provide locker or dorm room privacy for someone who is the opposite sex but identifies as the same gender.

Our daughter swam in college at the NCAA D-III level. Although she was co-captain, even the slowest of the men's team would have beaten her best times at every meet. Popular or not, allowing anyone from the men's team to compete as a transgender woman would have wholly upended competition with a decided advantage that was based on inherent physical differences between men and women.

If crossing over retains fair competition, why aren't more women competing as transgender men?

3/5 was the position that cared about slaves and ending slavery. 1/1 were the racists who wanted it to continue.
