(MSC News)--Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach, July 2, won a preliminary injunction halting the implementation of the Biden administration's Title IX transgender regulations.
Biden's Title IX regulations would have required public schools to allow biological males who identify as females to shower with biological girls in school locker rooms. It also would have required public schools and universities to allow biological males who identify as girls to compete in girls’ sports.
"Given... the evidence before the court, it is not hard to imagine that, under the Final Rule, an industrious older teenage boy may simply claim to identify as a female to gain access to the girls' showers, dressing rooms, or locker rooms so that he can observe his female peers disrobe and shower," Judge John Broomes wrote in the order.
Broomes, a Kansas federal judge, ruled in favor of the state of Kansas and attorneys general from Alaska, Utah, and Wyoming as well as three private organizations, Moms for Liberty, Young America- Foundation, and Female Athletes United.
Kansas Attorney General Kobach personally argued the case on June 20.
"We have had many wins in court, but to me, this is the biggest one yet. It protects girls and women across the country from having their privacy rights and safety violated in bathrooms and locker rooms and from having their freedom of speech violated if they say there are only two sexes," Kobach said.
The federal district court injunction will have a sweeping effect, prohibiting the implementation of Biden's transgender regulations in the four plaintiff states. In addition, the injunction covers schools throughout the entire country via the plaintiff organizations. The private organizations have members in all 50 states.
