Critics argued the rewrite would allow trans inclusion in women's and
girls sports

A federal judge in Kentucky blocked the Biden administration’s attempt to redefine sex in Title IX as "gender identity," striking down the change nationwide.

The U.S. District Court Eastern District of Kentucky Northern Division
made the ruling in Cardona v. Tennessee on Thursday.

"Another massive win for TN and the country!" Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti said in a post on X. "This morning, a federal court
ruled in our favor and vacated the Biden admin's radical new Title IX rule nationwide.

"The court's order is resounding victory for the protection of girls'
privacy in locker rooms and showers, and for the freedom to speak biologically-accurate pronouns."

Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., released a statement on the ruling.

"It is clear the Biden-Harris administration completely lost its way on
Title IX. They betrayed the original intent of Title IX by removing longstanding protections that ensured fairness for women and girls. Good
to see this harmful regulation overturned," he said. "With President Trump
and a Republican majority in Congress, we will ensure women and girls have every opportunity to succeed on the field and in the classroom."

The ruling came months after the Supreme Court rejected the Biden administration’s emergency request to enforce portions of a new rule that
would have included protections from discrimination for transgender
students under Title IX.

AN ATTACK ON WOMEN'

The sweeping rule was issued in April and clarified that Title IX’s ban on "sex" discrimination in schools covers discrimination based on gender
identity, sexual orientation and "pregnancy or related conditions."

The rule took effect Aug. 1, and, for the first time, the law stated that discrimination based on sex includes conduct related to a person’s gender identity.

It led to more than two dozen attorneys general suing over the rule,
arguing it would conflict with some of their state laws that block
transgender students from participating in women’s sports.

"When Title IX is viewed in its entirety, it is abundantly clear that discrimination on the basis of sex means discrimination on the basis of
being a male or female," the court’s opinion read. "As this Court and
others have explained, expanding the meaning of ‘on the basis of sex’ to include ‘gender identity’ turns Title IX on its head.

"While Title IX sought to level the playing field between men and women,
it is rife with exceptions that allow males and females to be separated
based on the enduring physical differences between the sexes."

Kristen Waggoner, president, CEO and general Counsel at Alliance Defending Freedom, said in a statement the ruling was a "colossal win for women and girls" in the U.S.

"The Biden administration’s radical attempt to redefine sex not only
tossed fairness, safety, and privacy for female students out the window,
it also threatened free speech and parental rights," she added. "With this ruling, the federal court in Kentucky rejected the entire Biden rule and
the administration’s illegal actions. We are thankful for the leadership
of Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti and other state attorneys general who challenged this blatant overreach alongside our courageous
clients.

"This ruling provides enormous relief for students across the country, including our client who has already suffered harassment by a male student
in the locker room and on her sports team. The U.S. Supreme Court can
further protect girls like our client by granting cases brought by the
ACLU against West Virginia and Idaho laws that protect women’s sports."

The decision came as Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., is set to push the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act to the Senate Floor.

A procedural vote on it will happen on Friday.
