The Biden–Harris administration’s unlawful attempt to redefine sex as “gender identity” defies the nature of the human person. A new U.S. Department of Education rule took effect on August 1 in twenty-four states. However, courts have enjoined the rule in the twenty-six states that sued the administration. This man-made law elevates psychology over biology, and its defiance of reality could harm many. A house built without load-bearing walls would crumble room by room. Similarly, safety, privacy, and freedom in a school without sex-specific policies will also collapse in stages. The victims of state and local transgender policies have already seen this in bathrooms, locker rooms, classrooms, and athletic competitions.
Denying biological reality harms everybody
