The
formerly great state of California has just responded to the federal
government's demand that they get with the program with regards to Title
IX transgender issues or face legal action. The state told the feds to
fuck off.
The feds
position is that civil rights laws are not voluntary (shades of George
Wallace blocking the school house door) and federal legal action is
anticipated.
I can't
imagine the state can win this, but they might be able to stall it for a
very long time. There is of course the possibility that the courts
will decide that men pretending to be women are in fact women, but I
sort of doubt that is going to happen.
It
is going to be really interesting to see how this works out and if the
state will knuckle under when faced with loss of funds or if it will
have to go all the way to the wall. I am guessing CA will hang tough.
