Why is the word "access" a signifier that slips to "love."
Access is not love. Access is the law.
I don't need you to "love" me in order to make something accessible.
In fact, I don't want your "love." That implies a relationship I don't consent to.

This is not easy shit to say publicly because of how widely adopted access = love.

No. I don't love you. I don't have to love you. Love is not part of my bid for civil rights. I won civil rights in 1990.

This idea that I, a disabled person, need to "love" you, in order to get access from you?
That seems abusive to me. Actually. Now that I think about it.
I should have access because it is the law.
Not because I love you.
Not because I show you any kind of "special" emotion

āWe are deeply disturbed by the 20-yr track record that places Judge Alito on the far right of the judicial spectrum, esp when it comes to womenās & #civilrights. If #SamuelAlito is confirmedā¦many of our fundamental rights will be at great risk, & could well be lost entirely.āā¬ļø

Since 1972, Congress has interpreted "sex" under #TitleIX as allowing differential treatment based on sex in some settings, including single-sex athletics, toilets, locker rooms, & showers. These exist to ensure women have safe, equal access to educ. opportunities. #SexNotGender

Hereās how YOU can fight back to restore & protect all #Womenās rights:

These vitally important rights for women cannot be fixed by Congress or by Biden. Indeed, Biden's recent announcement that heĀ plans toĀ fix the Trump-era 2020Ā Title IX regulationsĀ is misleading; his boondoggleĀ 700 page proposal will not restore Title IX to its full potential. /2
Codifying Roe will not help bc thereās no constitutional guarantee that it will be ENFORCED equally on Womenās behalf. Only the EqualĀ Rights Amendment (ERA)Ā can help by establishing a constitutional foothold to ensureĀ full & equal protection of ALL women's rights in ALL courts./3
For 50 years, #TitleIX has transformed the meaning of equality & opportunity ā in our classrooms, on the playing field & everywhere. In honor of this anniversary, today we unveiled a portrait of the godmother of Title IX & our beloved late colleague, Congresswoman Patsy Mink.
With the help of her sheer force of will, Congresswoman Mink led the charge alongside Congresswoman Edith Green and Senator Birch Bayh to craft and enact this landmark legislation ā advancing a brighter, fairer future for women and girls.
This historic achievement has provided a springboard for women to succeed in and out of the classroom: empowering so many to pursue their dreams of becoming doctors and engineers, heads of businesses and non-profits, and even pioneering public servants.
As we mark #TitleIXAt50 today, here are six #TitleIX changes ED is proposing to ensure federally funded education programs & activities are free from ALL forms of sex discrimination: [š§µā¬ļø]
1. #TitleIX protection from all forms of sex discrimination, including discrimination based on:
- Sex stereotypes
- Sex characteristics
- Pregnancy or related conditions
- Sexual orientation
- Gender identity
- Sex stereotypes
- Sex characteristics
- Pregnancy or related conditions
- Sexual orientation
- Gender identity
2. Strengthening protections for LGBTQI+ students by clarifying that Title IXās protections against discrimination based on sex apply to discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.

On my feed you will find out how #AmberHeard is connected to #ChessyProut #MicheleDauber #LauraLDunn #TinaTchen #TimesUp #NWLC #SKDK #PrecisionStrategies #ACLU #KnowYourIX and the political sham behind her. My research started with NH v Owen Labrie...:
From NH v Owen Labrie I discovered a network behind his accuser, Chessy Prout. That network was also behind Chanel Miller, Brock Turner's accuser in People v Brock Turner; behind Amber Heard, Johnny Depp's accuser. It looks like it was organized recruiting and racketeering.
That network was also tied to The White House Task Force formed in 2014 and to the "Dear Colleague" Title IX letter published in 2011 and updated with the White Paper "Not Alone" in 2014, the lobbying for "Victim's Bill of Rights" (2016) and #MeToo (2017) & Times Up (2018).
Part of this #UNSPORTING situation is the need to ask.
This is the inevitable endpoint, right?
Bullying & gaslighting of female athletes, all for the sake of #sports organizations TRYING to be āinclusiveā of (largely) privileged white males representing ~0.15% of the population.

We looked at 107 public FBS schools to see how they manipulated their rosters & found:
-- 2,252 spots added by double- and triple-counting athletes
-- 800+ spots added in stuffed rowing rosters
-- 601 male practice players counted on women's basketball teams

The blog post discusses the NIBRS and SRS definitions. Previous guidance from the OPEN Center--not reflected in this blog--suggests that schools can pick their own definitions as long as they cover all of the offenses described. atixa.org/open-center/hoā¦
The blog does not repeat the threshold language re: domestic violence to remind that it is only sexual harassment if it is "on the basis of sex." The definition given will, in many states, encompass child abuse and other domestic violence that is not related to sex.

Some folks have been asking questions about the #TitleIX regulation that prohibits the use of a statement by a party or witness that does not submit to cross-exam at a hearing: "Can we have someone else testify about what they said?"
Let me point you to some commentary that the U.S. Department of Education offered on this point along with the final regs. Citations are to the unofficial version posted on ED's website: www2.ed.gov/about/offices/ā¦
Page 1169: "ā āIf a party or witness makes a statement in the video [and then doesnāt appear for cross-examination], then the decision-maker may not rely on the statement of that party or witness in reaching a determination regarding responsibility.ā

DeVos' new Title IX rule would require schools to dismiss most reports of violence that occur off- campus, and all that occur outside of the U.S.
Here's why that matters:
Here's why that matters:
Only about 8% of all sexual assaults involving middle school, high school and college students occur on school property.
That means DeVosā Title IX rule would require schools to dismiss around 92% of all reports of assault.

DeVos' #TitleIX rule would mean students that are assaulted off-campus will either have to share a classroom with their rapist or drop out of the class.
Title IX is meant to protect survivors' right to an education. Instead, this rule would push survivors out of school.
