A federal court blocked Joe Biden’s Title IX changes, halting efforts to redefine sex as gender identity, which critics hailed as a win for women’s rights.

The Biden administration’s controversial attempt to redefine the definition sexual discrimination in Title IX by adding gender identity and sexual orientation, was struck down Thursday by a Kentucky federal court.

The Biden administration’s Title IX rules expanding protections for LGBTQ+ students have been struck down nationwide after a federal judge in Kentucky found that they overstepped the president’s authority.

A federal judge in Kentucky vacated the regulations, which bolstered the rights of victims of sexual misconduct and LGBTQ+ students.

The Biden rule, which makes ‘gender identity’ a protected class similar to sex, ‘turns Title IX on its head,’ the judge wrote.

The decision threw out the administration’s proposed regulations, which prohibited discrimination based on gender identity.

A federal district court judge in Kentucky has struck down President Joe Biden’s effort to protect transgender students and make other changes to Title IX, ruling the U.S. Department of Education violated teachers’ rights by requiring them to use transgender students’ names and pronouns.

A federal judge struck down the rule just days before Donald J. Trump, who promised to unwind much of it, assumes the presidency.

The court’s decision to strike down the rule is being hailed as a major victory by opponents of the regulation.
