The Supreme Court ruled Monday that a landmark federal civil rights law from the 1960s protects gay and transgender workers, a watershed ruling for *LGBTQ rights written by one of the court’s most conservative justices.

Justice Neil M. Gorsuch and Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. joined the court’s liberals in the 6-to-3 ruling. They said Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination “because of sex,” includes gay and transgender employees.

Good. "[Civil Rights Act] prohibits unequal application of voter registration requirements, racial segregation in schools and public accommodations, and employment discrimination." I'm not sure if swimming fits into this framework but I guess we'll see.

Title IX complaint filed against NCAA over Lia Thomas' participation, win in women's swimming

In a letter to Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Catherine Lhamon, the group stated that the complaint was filed against the school "for its egregious violations of the protections for women on the basis of sex
secured a half-century ago in the landmark passage of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972."

The group said that as recently as 2020, Thomas had competed on the men’s team. It was there that Thomas was ranked 462.

"By allowing a male to take a spot and compete on the women's swim team, depriving aspiring young women athletes of a fair and level playing field in competition, UPenn commits a grave injustice and violates the most fundamental principles of equity in Title IX's historic efforts to promote equal opportunity in sports in educational institutions," the letter states.

The group continued on to state that given these biological differences, "It cannot be overlooked that UPenn's policy has a disparate impact on women."

"To allow such a discriminatory policy to continue is to say that an educational institution could have an all-biological male swimming or even wrestling or boxing team, both in the men's and women's categories of competition, while remaining in full compliance with federal law, potentially eliminating all opportunities for female athletes in a program. Any interpretation of federal law facilitating such a result is anathema to Title IX," the letter states.

It sounds like you support free speech when it's a controversy re: someone you like, i.e. Linehan, v. someone you don't like, i.e. the Duchess of Sussex.

Nobody likes her, she's a nasty piece of work who is loathed by her own father and half sister.

Harry is becoming almost as hated, especially since he demanded paid for security to attend his own father's memorial service despite no longer being a royal.
