Democrats prepare for a significant LGBT push in 2024, laying the groundwork in 2023
Reflecting on the Biden Administration’s Agency Actions in 2023 and What’s to Come in 2024
As we enter the new year, it’s a time for reflection and anticipation. We look back on the past year, from Spotify Wrapped to book lists, and we also consider the actions taken by the Biden administration’s agencies in 2023 and what they mean for the future.
In 2023, the Biden administration made a strong push for radical gender ideology through various federal agency proposals. These regulations aimed to advance the administration’s pro-LGBT agenda in education, employment, and healthcare. However, these actions raised concerns about the impact on children’s interests and women’s rights. How can we protect women’s rights if we can’t even define what it means to be a woman?
Below are the top five agency proposals that exemplify this radical agenda:
1. Ed Department’s Title IX Rule Would Decimate Women’s Sports
The Department of Education proposed a new Title IX rule that would expand the ban on sex discrimination to include discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. This rule, if implemented, would have a devastating impact on girls and women’s sports, contradicting the very purpose of Title IX.
Fortunately, due to the overwhelming opposition expressed through public comments, the finalization of these rules has been delayed. Litigators are ready to challenge these harmful regulations when they are eventually implemented.
2. EEOC’s Pregnant Workers Fairness Act Regulations Erased Women
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) proposed regulations for the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act that raised concerns about their impact on women. The EEOC avoided using the term “woman” when discussing workplace accommodations for pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions, instead opting for nonspecific terms. This approach reflects a dangerous departure from biological realities.
3. HHS Rule Would Unlawfully Prohibit Discrimination Based on Gender Dysphoria
The Department of Health and Human Services proposed a rule that would prohibit discrimination based on gender dysphoria, despite the exclusion of “gender identity disorders” from the definition of a qualifying disability. This rule aims to impose incorrect pronouns, bathroom access, and “gender transitions” through disability discrimination law.
4. HHS Rule Called ‘Non-Affirming’ Foster Parents Abusive
The Administration for Children and Families, under the Department of Health and Human Services, issued a proposed rule that defined “safe and appropriate” foster care placements for LGBTQI+ children. However, the rule’s definition of abuse includes not affirming a child’s sexual orientation or gender identity, which raises concerns about the impact on traditional beliefs and potential ramifications for foster care, adoption, custody disputes, and child care and education.
5. EEOC’s Harassment Guidance Would Impose Workplace Pronoun and Bathroom Mandates
The EEOC proposed updated harassment guidance that goes beyond the Supreme Court’s 2020 decision, including examples of harassment such as “misgendering” and denying access to sex-specific facilities based on gender identity. While not legally binding, this guidance will have significant influence and could lead to the imposition of pronoun and bathroom policies in workplaces.
These proposed regulations are expected to be finalized in 2024, solidifying the Democrats’ radical LGBT agenda. However, legal challenges and potential changes in administration could impact the implementation of these harmful ideologies.
In what ways does the disregard for small businesses and religious organizations in pregnancy-related regulations potentially infringe on their religious liberties?
Referring to pregnant workers, instead referring to them as “individuals with the capacity to become pregnant.” This erases the unique experiences and challenges faced by women during pregnancy, and undermines their rights and protections in the workplace.
These regulations also failed to adequately address the concerns of small businesses and religious organizations, placing an unfair burden on them and potentially infringing on their religious liberties.
3. HHS’s Gender-Affirming Healthcare Proposal Ignored Children’s Well-Being
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) proposed a rule that would require insurers to cover transgender and gender-affirming procedures and treatments. While it is important to ensure access to healthcare for all individuals, especially those in the transgender community, this proposal neglected to consider the potential risks and long-term effects of such procedures, particularly on minors.
It is crucial to prioritize the well-being and long-term health of children, and ensure that they have the ability to fully understand the implications of gender-affirming treatments before making irreversible decisions.
4. DoD’s Proposal to Allow Transgender Servicemembers Undermined Military Preparedness
The Department of Defense (DoD) proposed a change in its policy to allow transgender individuals to serve openly in the military. While it is important to promote inclusivity and equal rights, this proposal failed to consider the potential impact on military readiness and effectiveness.
There are genuine concerns about the potential impact on unit cohesion, privacy, and readiness standards. The military’s primary function is to protect national security, and any policy changes should carefully consider and prioritize this objective.
5. HUD’s Proposal to Expand Transgender Protections Neglected Privacy Concerns
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) proposed a rule that aimed to expand protections for transgender individuals in homeless shelters. While it is important to ensure access and safety for all individuals, this proposal neglected the privacy concerns of women and girls.
There is a valid concern that such policies could potentially compromise the safety and security of women who are already vulnerable and seeking shelter. It is essential to find a balance that respects the rights and privacy of all individuals involved.
Reflecting on these agency actions in 2023 raises important questions and concerns about the direction the Biden administration is taking. While it is important to promote inclusivity and equal rights for all individuals, it is equally important to consider the potential consequences and unintended effects of these actions.
As we move into 2024, it is crucial for policymakers, advocates, and citizens to engage in thoughtful discussions and ensure that the rights and interests of all individuals, including women and children, are protected. It is important to find a balance that respects and upholds women’s rights and recognizes the unique experiences and challenges they face.
It is my hope that the Biden administration will take these concerns into account and reevaluate their approach, considering the potential impact on women’s rights, children’s well-being, and overall societal harmony. Let us look forward to a future where equality, inclusivity, and protection of rights are achieved without undermining the rights and well-being of other marginalized groups.
