Mini-Post: Sticking It To Us

He is doing this to get our goat...
June will now be "dedicated" to celebrating Title IX, which the government is using to attack trans people.

President Donald Trump's administration announced on Monday that June will be recognized as Title IX Month — not Pride Month.

"The U.S. Department of Education (the Department) today announced that it is recognizing June as 'Title IX Month' in honor of the fifty-third anniversary of Title IX of the Educational Amendments (1972) being signed into law. June will now be dedicated to commemorating women and celebrating their struggle for, and achievement of, equal educational opportunity," the Department of Education's statement reads. "Throughout the month, the Department will highlight actions taken to reverse the Biden Administration's legacy of undermining Title IX and announce additional actions to protect women in line with the true purpose of Title IX."
This is the equivalent of MAGA saying "All Lives Matter" in reply to "Black Live Matter", sticking the knife in out back and twisting it, Out magazine reports...
The report also specified that the department's Office for Civil Rights (OCR) is kicking of the first-ever Title IX Month with two "investigations into the University of Wyoming and Jefferson County Public Schools in Colorado for allegedly allowing males to join and live in female-only intimate and communal spaces."
Many people and not just us see this as undermining or dismissing the specific issues and visibility of a marginalized group.

Happy Pride!
