To discriminate by sex is wrong;
but now we have more complexity.
The list of wrongs from Title Nine grows long –
now included – gender identity.
The rule of Title Nine has been expanded –
across the nation reigns new Rule of Law.
Biology and sex have been rebranded,
subjective thinking now Replaces Law.
Best you spend some time to get acquainted
to this upended thinking that’s arrived.
The assault on women has not been abated.
We must confront. Reason must survive.
Unisex showers, bathrooms, lockers prevail.
Again the ladies yield to preferenced males.

A hostile environment exists when “unwelcome sex-based conduct … is subjectively and objectively offensive and is so severe or pervasive that it limits or denies a person’s ability to participate in or benefit from the recipient’s education program or activity; wsj.com – May 20, 2024 – Kristen Waggoner – President and Council of Alliance Defending Freedom – Biden Turns Title IX Into Weapon Against Women and Girls.> > > >
