WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Independent Women’s Law Center, alongside Women’s Declaration International USA and Concerned Women for America, filed an amicus brief in the Sixth Circuit to prevent the illegal Biden-Harris Title IX rewrite from taking effect in Tennessee, Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia, Kentucky, and Virginia.
“The only thing more concerning about the Biden-Harris administration’s desire to eliminate the reality of male and female is the administration’s use of Title IX to do it. This law was intended to equalize opportunities for women, not by pretending we didn’t exist, but by explicitly affording us equal rights. The Biden-Harris bureaucrats want to infuse gender ideology throughout our education system, but cannot do so democratically. Independent Women’s Law Center will stand up for women and against lawless administrative power,” said May Mailman, director of Independent Women’s Law Center.
“‘Gender identity’ does not exist in any real, material sense, yet the Biden administration insists on pretending that it does. Women’s Declaration International USA (WDI USA) works to advance the Declaration on Women’s Sex-Based Rights, which is grounded in radical feminist principles, throughout U.S. law and society. Article 7 of the Declaration reaffirms women’s rights to the same opportunities as men to participate actively in sports and physical education. Sports are played with bodies, not ‘gender identities.’ WDI USA is proud to unite with women’s groups across the political spectrum in standing with the plaintiffs in their fight to preserve the original intent of Title IX,” said Elizabeth Chesak, president of Women’s Declaration International USA.
