terfs really will maim their own platforms because they hate intersex/nonbinary/trans people.
From the summary (not even the actual in-depth review, the fucking summary):
With regard to sex-based harassment (as defined in proposed § 106.2), the proposed regulations would:
Define sex-based harassment to include but not be limited to sexual harassment;
Provide and clarify, as appropriate, definitions of various terms related to a recipient's obligations to address sex discrimination, including sex-based harassment;
Clarify how a recipient is required to take action to end any sex discrimination that has occurred in its education program or activity, prevent its recurrence, and remedy its effects; and
Clarify a recipient's obligations related to the grievance procedures and other necessary steps when it receives a complaint of sex discrimination.
With regard to discrimination against individuals who are pregnant or parenting, the proposed regulations would:
Define the term “pregnancy or related conditions” and the term “parental status,” and prohibit discrimination against students and applicants for admission or employment on the basis of current, potential, or past pregnancy or related conditions; and
Clarify a recipient's obligations to students and employees who are pregnant or experiencing related conditions.
These boil down to (from my very weak understanding. I am not trained nor knowledgeable in law):
Codifying definitions of harassment based on sex and gender. This adds more protections for cis girls, women, boys, and men (as well as intersex, nonbinary, and trans people)! This is literally the goal! This means people can’t wave away shit with “boys will be boys” or “she was wearing revealing clothing”!
How to address instances of harassment based on sex and gender! Why wouldn’t you want a clear set of guidelines to follow when your kid is being harassed for being a girl? Or for being a boy? What kind of person wouldn’t want that?
Protects pregnant people from being harassed (which includes, le gasp, women and girls! Amazing! It’s almost like they’re trying to codify protections for people of all genders and sexes! How daring!)
This is the fucking summary. These are, barring some harebrained misogynistic idiocy, wins.
What terfs are saying with their shit comments is that they will discard protections for children rather than have intersex, nonbinary, and trans people have even an iota of safety.
But intersex/nonbinary/trans people need to be stopped “for the children”.
