| Will she get home in time to watch Judge Judy? |
Oh, look, another day, another federal judge reminding the woke crowd that biology isn't a suggestion. On Thursday, U.S. District Judge Louis Guirola Jr. tossed out a Biden-era rule that tried to shoehorn gender identity into Title IX protections and strong-arm doctors into performing transgender procedures like it was just another flu shot.
Guirola backed Tennessee and a posse of 14 other red states that dragged the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to court over this nonsense. The judge basically said HHS went full rogue, twisting "sex discrimination" into something it was never meant to be.
"Congress only contemplated biological sex when it enacted Title IX in 1972," Guirola wrote, dropping truth bombs like it's 1972 all over again. "Therefore, the Court finds that HHS exceeded its authority by implementing regulations redefining sex discrimination and prohibiting gender-identity discrimination."
This gem of a rule dropped on May 6, 2024, back when Biden's crew was still pretending they could rewrite reality with a pen stroke. Fast-forward to the Trump era, and the states weren't taking any chances. They figured why wait for the next round of bureaucratic bullying?
Trump's HHS lawyers tried to calm everyone down, swearing up and down that with the boss cracking down on transgender ideology, no one's getting sued over this. But Guirola wasn't buying the "trust us, bro" routine. He called the threat of enforcement "real" and said sorting this out now would finally give everyone the clarity they've been begging for.
Under this rule, states would've been stuck footing the bill for transgender surgeries through Medicaid and Medicare, while hospitals lost the right to keep bathrooms and locker rooms where they belong—segregated by actual biology. It would've nuked state health exchanges that dared to say no to the procedure parade.
Guirola laid it out plain: "When it enacted Title IX, Congress's concern was prohibiting sex discrimination in education. It was particularly concerned with inequality that female students experienced. It did not at that time contemplate gender identity, transgender status, or 'gender-affirming care,'" he wrote. In other words, Congress wasn't dreaming up a future where "sex" means whatever TikTok says it does.
Tennessee AG Jonathan Skrmetti was popping champagne over the win, and who could blame him?
"When Biden-era bureaucrats tried to illegally rewrite our laws to force radical gender ideology into every corner of American health care, Tennessee stood strong and stopped them," Skrmetti said. "This decision restores not just common sense but also constitutional limits on federal overreach, and I am proud of the team of excellent attorneys who fought this through to the finish."
Skrmetti hammered home how this would've forced hospitals into sex-segregated space chaos and made states subsidize the whole "gender-affirming" circus via Medicaid.

The suit had the full Republican AG squad from Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Virginia, and West Virginia all piling on, because when it comes to fighting federal fairy tales, strength in numbers.Meanwhile, President Trump, never one to let Biden's legacy linger—is on a tear with executive orders to undo the transgender takeover. He's already kicked off a full audit of every Biden move on this front, making sure the madness gets the boot it deserves.
Score one for sanity, zero for the ideologues.
