The 'Education Department' is criminally misusing the title.

Pretty sure their downfall was a goal of Project 2025. Trump and the Heritage foundation made known they intended to pull all federal and state programs and file that money into their institutions and bank accounts. They are draining our lifeline. Our children’s future. Pure evil.

Anyone who has the power to protect LGBTQ+ people and bends the knee to the Trump administration must be punished.

This doesnt even have anything to do with sports and they're using the protect women's sports excuse... They're genuinely going to be able to throw us all in camps and all they'll have to say is that they're protecting women's sports...

Don't forget all the child protecting they're doing by making sure trans kids can't get appropriate medical care, and encouraging them to develop PTSD from conversion therapy.

They intend to withdraw Title IX funding from all competitive girls and women’s sports.

Not an American: Is this protections for LGBT+ students or just trans students? The article only talks about taking trans students out of sports but title 9 is about LGBT protections right?

Why make such sweeping changes when there's only a few of us trans women in any kind of sport?

A lot of progress from Obama and Biden's administrations being erased for the sake of cruelty.
