The Biden administration suffered a well-deserved defeat, albeit only an interim one, in its effort to make federal law favor transgender ideology ahead of the rights of biological women.

The Western District of Louisiana on June 13 served the causes of common sense, good law, and women’s health by issuing a preliminary injunction against Biden’s new regulations under Title IX, which bans discrimination in educational programs and activities on the basis of “sex.” Without any actual change in a federal statute, Biden’s Department of Education issued a rule claiming that “sex” includes “gender identity” but without even fully defining the latter term.
