The Travesty of Bostock

 Somehow, we missed the horrific stupidity of the Bostock decision.

In a 6-3 ruling of a consolidated group of cases styled Bostock v. Clayton County, the Supreme Court expanded the definition of “sex” to include “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964....

BushBoy Roberts and TrumpBoy Gorsuch voted with the majority.  Gorsuch wrote the damnable and idiotic opinion.

Aside from the obvious inanity, that men can be women (and vice-versa) according to Gorsuch, this ruling will likely kill girls' sports in the next decade or so.

Four Connecticut women sued over admission of a man to womens' competition.  That suit was dismissed at District, and Circuit (2nd) affirmed.  In the 2nd's decision was this:

...In Bostock, the Supreme Court interpreted Title VII’s prohibition of discrimination “on the basis of sex” as proscribing discrimination based on one’s transgender status, 140 S. Ct. at 1737, and the Court has “looked to its Title VII interpretations of discrimination in illuminating Title IX,” Olmstead v. L.C. ex rel.Zimring , 527 U.S. 581, 616 n.1 (1999) (Thomas, J., dissenting). Title IX includes language identical to that in Title VII, broadly prohibiting discrimination “on the basis of sex.” 20 U.S.C. § 1681(a). Thus, it cannot be said that the Policy — which prohibits discrimination based on a student’s transgender status by allowing all 26 students to participate on gender specific teams consistent with their gender identity — “falls within the scope of Title IX’s proscriptions....quoted at RedState

IOW, Titles VII and IX prohibit discrimination against trannies.

Too bad, girls!
