The headline vastly oversimplified the actual regulation 'The rules would narrow when discrimination of trans athletes would be permitted. But they also would offer guidelines for when schools could bar their participation. Under the proposal, schools would need to consider a range of factors before imposing a ban on trans athletes and would need to justify it based on educational grounds, such as the need for fairness. So, for instance, a school district could justify a ban on transgender athletes on their competitive high school track and field team, whereas a district would have a harder time making that case for an intramural middle school kickball squad. The long-awaited proposal, which is subject to public comment, puts forth a framework for how schools can comply with Title IX, the 50-year-old federal law that bars schools from discriminating on the basis of sex. It would apply to all public K-12 schools, as well as colleges and universities that receive federal funding. Reaction was mixed. Transgender rights activists said the proposal provided a welcome set of protections for trans students but also worried the regulations could offer a road map for those who want to discriminate. “The proposed rule helps clarify that these blanket bans on transgender athletes are in violation of Title IX and is a really positive development,” said Scott Skinner-Thompson, a supporter of transgender rights and associate professor at the University of Colorado Law School. But he said the provisions allowing for discrimination were “deeply troubling.” The proposal is subject to the standard public comment period so I would encourage everyone to voice their concerns I don’t think this makes it better. Trans kids can play intramural sports but not competitive ones?

I only read part of the article, because my children interrupted me, as per. I never made it back to finish. I'm still not a fan. R's will find their way into using it for their own ability to ban trans kids regardless.

Not to mention if the judge had donated to DT’s campaign they would also have no issue.

What does he think FL would be without Disney? They’re the biggest employer and tourist attraction in his stupid state. Why do people keep voting for him?!

How the fuck can a judge tell the FDA they can't approve a medication?

Post by enchanted on Apr 7, 2023 17:55:26 GMT -6
Or retroactively overturn the FDA's approval?
I understand* saying it can't be used, but how the fuck is a judge at all qualifed to tell the FDA shit about a medication?
*I understand, not approve or agree with saying it can't be used.

I hate everything right now. Seriously. I took a bit of a news break over last weekend into this week while on spring break and it was so freeing. Now that I’m paying attention again it feels like everything is on fire and way worse than before.

Overturn fda approval Is shit. It's a reasonably safe drug. How bout a judge decides viagra should have never been approved by the fda? Viagra can cause some serious side effects. These can include an erection that will not go away (priapism), sudden vision loss in one or both eyes, and sudden hearing decrease or hearing loss. Some men have also experienced heart attack, stroke, irregular heartbeats and even death after taking Viagra. Sounds like it shouldn't have been approved. I mean if judges are going to pretend to be doctors or scientists.

Okay, but why lower trust in Congress by letting this shit slide? Now there's two branches of government being undermined by his actions.
