Title IX

What is the point behind Title IX?

I know the original purpose of it – to prohibit discrimination in education. Not just athletics, but all aspects of education to ensure that girls get the same opportunities as boys. The public usually hears about it only with regard to athletics and scholarships for college though.

But in today’s society, there should be a conflict. More and more males are declaring themselves to be female and are allowed to compete against females.

I sense an opportunity for some college to test the waters of loophole.

For example, you may have heard of a college which has cut male scholarships because they need to maintain similar numbers in male and female scholarships, in order to comply with Title IX. What is to stop the college from persuading half the males to declare themselves female and thus eliminate the hassle of Title IX?

Do they even need to be female? What if they declare themselves to be non-male? Does that count? So many options nowadays.

The root of having different sports leagues/teams for men and women is that men and women are different in their physical development. Certainly there are outliers for specific accomplishments, but in general men are faster and stronger and better at whatever else makes up sporting events (as evidenced by the world/Olympic records for such events). If one is to argue that gender differences are cultural or societal and not biological, then one should also argue there should not be separate male and female sports. And one would also have to explain how such cultural limitations are worldwide and so consistent.

Also, if one agrees that we should now reconstruct the physical world to match what someone’s brain thinks it should be, rather than the other way around, does that mean psychiatry as a profession is on its way out?

Also also, bonus points goes to the university that attempts the aforementioned Title IX loophole if they also change their name from University to Diversity. Such as the Diversity of Minnesota or something.

God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
