"...It's 1936"

Washington (CNN)The Biden administration must pause its enforcement of federal guidance seeking to protect transgender students and workers in 20 states, a federal judge ruled Friday, siding with Republican-led states fighting to enforce anti-trans policies on their books.

The order issued late Friday allows the 20 states to continue enforcing controversial laws without risk of retaliatory action from the administration, including the loss of federal funding for schools. It drew praise from Tennessee, which is leading the states in a lawsuit, and condemnation from LGBTQ advocates who criticized the judge for "legislating from the bench."

Tennessee and 19 other GOP-led states brought a lawsuit last August arguing guidance issued earlier that year by the Department of Education and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission constituted an unlawful overreach of executive authority.

According to the agencies' guidance, transgender students and workers are covered under Title IX, which prohibits sex discrimination at federally funded schools, and Title VII, which prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex and national origin. The guidance was designed to protect transgender individuals from a slew of anti-trans policies, including bans from school sports teams, bathrooms and locker rooms consistent with their gender identity, as well as measures that allow employers to intentionally refuse to use a worker's preferred pronouns.

After the destruction of Roe/Wade. R/W which gave the right of Personhood to Women. This was inevitable. Once that was snatched away. Other attacks on protections and rights won over the last 50 years are being launched. I have lived to see the tide come in...and out.
