This Title IX Rewrite is INSANE

America is Broken. I feel very sorry for anyone under 40

Someone help me out here: Title IX is a law passed by the Congress of the United States and signed into law by Former President Richard M. Nixon on June 23, 1972. Since the Congress is the only body with the constitutional right to create federal law, how can the Department of Education simply rewrite Title IX? I copied this from the White House website: "All legislative power in the government is vested in Congress, meaning that it is the only part of the government that can make new laws or change existing laws." Isn't the sort of alteration the Department of Education is engaged in here effectively (re-)writing law?

Can someone explain how they can rewite a law without congress?

[glennwatson]

The Dept. of Ed can't create law.

Title 9 didn't 'allow' schools to create women's sports programs, it 'forced' them to do it. Women's sports lived by the sword and died by it too.

Why isn't there more discussion about this?
Slippery slope arguments you aren't supposed to make...
like de facto or perhaps ersatz unisex bathrooms and locker rooms and showers are coming under the cloak of claimed trans status, woman status, and this is now happening in the real world, now, even though we were chided and scolded to not make slippery slope arguments by the usual finger waggers.

So...what we used to call women are just going to have to get used to the premise of perceiving penises in premises previously prohibiting and preventing perusal of penises.

Maybe that's fine and worrying about it is a moral panic but what we used to call women are the ones who get to worry about it, be made uncomfortable about it and what might occur along side of it.
Just the worry about possible eventualities is a burden in and of itself.
If some crime should occur the pursuing of that after the fact is cold comfort as compared to the prevention thereof.
And what is the price of their unease and discomfort if not fear?
What is the price of fear?
And who is expected to bear it without complaint?

If I told you I could see the future, and that a second H was approaching, would you be interested in helping prevent it?

If, in order to feel safe, you need to control the behaviour of others, it’s not the others who have a problem.
Put another way; anyone who considers “trigger-words” a reasonable concept needs therapy.
It’s not only unreasonable, but absolutely impossible, to control others’ behaviour. As long as that’s the goal you’re striving for, you’ll forever be disappointed.

If I want subtitles, I'll turn them on.

Please don't force them. Same language subtitles are REALLY annoying.

I have not visited the US for 5 years. Insanity prevails.

Whatever the hell someone wants me to call them is fine, I can’t however wrap my head around only calling someone by “they/them”. I know I would mess that one up

[EccentricAuntWanda]

How can we take advantage of this to flip it on those who promote it?

[makojuicedaniel]

I guess we can just rewrite whatever has already been passed to skip all that passing a bill nonsense now.

The thing is this sort of video with its title attracts Tactivists who we know are fanatics who cannot handle critisism and will try to cancel critical comments. So maybe try another title next time that is less provocative because these folks with their alternative views of reality will try to shut down in a hateful way supportive realistic comment.

A vote for Biden is a vote for Kamala for President!

[angie]

It's interesting that you skip over the fact that it also increased protection for sexual assault. which is of course what harassing a trans person for being trana is, by the way.

ALL MEN IDENTIFY AS WOMAN ALL WOMAN IDENTIFY MEN

[darbyl]

It all started with the right to vote.

Oh look, another reactionary grifter. Which oil baron/think tank pays your bills?
