Washington, D.C. – Today – Concerned Women for America (CWA) joined Independent Women’s Law Center and Women’s Declaration International USA in filing an amicus brief to the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals supporting States seeking to block the illegitimate redefinition of the meaning of “sex” under Title IX, the landmark civil rights law prohibiting discrimination in education and athletics “on the basis of sex.”  The brief discusses the devastating impact of stripping protections for women based on sex under Biden’s new “gender identity” mandates and the confusion and chaos being injected into women’s sports as a result of the Rule.

All twenty-six states challenging the Biden-Harris Title IX rewrite have won injunctions temporarily blocking the Rule from taking effect.  Six states in the Sixth Circuit are seeking permanent relief from the imposing and harmful Rule: Tennessee, Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia, Kentucky, and Virginia.

CWA CEO and President Penny Nance had this to say:

“The fact we are in a battle to preserve the fundamental meaning of sex under Title IX is proof of the radical agenda of the Biden-Harris administration to strip women of our basic rights to women’s only sports and spaces. Female students and athletes have excelled under decades of certainty that Title IX law was on their side in protecting equality of opportunity on the basis of sex. Now they’re being forced by the Biden-Harris Department of Education to fight this battle all over again.

“Concerned Women for America is proud to be partnering with women’s groups across the political spectrum in this crucial brief to stand up for our God-given dignity as women. The truth about what a woman is will always be on our side, and we are confident we will win in court.”
