Protection from what?
The Education Department launched the process for pulling Maine’s federal K-12 funding citing the state’s refusal to bar [male] transgender students from girls’ sports.
…
In March, the Education Department’s probe found the Maine Department of Education’s sports participation policy violated Title IX. But the proposed agreement given to the state to sign to avoid losing its funding went beyond just addressing sports.
The requirements of the agreement would have forced the state to say the Trump administration’s interpretation of Title IX outweighs Maine’s Human Rights Act, which provides protection for transgender people.
Wait wait wait. Explain what you mean by “protection.” Protection is not letting males play in female sports. Keeping males out of female sports does not endanger those males, and it does keep males from endangering females in female sports. Female people do matter.
The Education Department’s proposed resolution agreement would have also required the state agency to direct all schools to comply with Title IX and specify that the federal law requires schools to “forbid allowing males to participate in any athletic program, or access any locker room or bathroom, designated for females.” The directive must also tell schools there are only two sexes, “woman” and “man.”
Yes, and? There is no third sex that is neither woman nor man, or part woman and part man, or some new sex that’s so special and different we don’t even have a name for it yet. There are only two sexes, and we know their names.
Even if there were more than two sexes, trans activists would still have to prove it was possible for someone to be “born in the wrong body” or, that humans could change sex. They’re already trying to skip this work by laying claim to clown fish and humans with DSD conditions as some kind of proof or support for genderist claims of sex being a “spectrum”. They’re not so much “proof,” as they are a shield and a smokescreen, allowing trans idelogues to duck having to prove… anything. They roll all of their unsupported assertions and claims (many of which are contradictory) into one big anthology of metaphysical just-so stories, the probing and examination of which is denounced as “transphobia.” They then attach themselves to the Gay Rights imovement in order to create a chimeric but strategically useful “community” of human shields amongst whom they can hide, exploiting and repurposing its organizations to center trans “rights”, at the expense of their original goals and intents.
From the US National Library of Medicine:
One in every 250. It is in the interest of every minority, no matter how tiny, to generate as much noise and public attention to its claims as possible. As Eric Baume, an early shockjock of the Sydney radio scene was fond of saying: “Speak well of my name; speak ill of my name, but speak my name.” Nobody can force their own outlook or perception of themselves on anyone else, try as they may.
In my view, the one contentious demand of the biological males who want to be accepted as 100% females, is a right to invade women-only sex-segregated sports, washrooms, public lavatories and other facilities as they please, whether dressed as women or otherwise. Thanks to the biological reality of sexual dimorphism, such a ‘right’ is ideal cover for the male who cannot hope to ‘win’ any other way, be that as a sportsman, or as a rapist on the prowl.
So the short answer has to be ‘no;’ as in ‘No!’ and NO.!!!!!!

I find it beyond depressing that the Trumpies are doing so much fucked-up shit, but the only thing that seems to get any serious pushback is refusing to cater to the demands of angry transvestites.
You can crash the economy, you can rule by fiat, you can dismantle American soft power, you can destroy the value of the dollar, you can deport people to gulags illegally… but don’t you dare try to keep pervs out of the ladies’ locker room!
Well yes but… for that the Muskovites are going to cut all funding for kids with special needs, kids in poverty, English learners, and so on?
A pox on both their houses.
