On Violating Title IX
Sex-realists push back on the California countersuit
On Tuesday March 10, nearly a dozen sex realists presented themselves to speak during the public comments period of the California State University board of trustees meeting as it prepared to respond to the US Department of Education’s findings that San Jose State was in violation of Title IX for having allowed a man to play on the women’s volleyball team back in 2024 as we witnessed as protestors, and I described here.
Refusal to comply with the terms issued by the feds would mean losing $200 million in federal funding. These terms include issuing apologies to the female athletes affected, and issuing a statement that there are only two sexes. The California board of trustees decided to counter-sue the government and dispute its findings by claiming that they were following Title IX under the Biden rewrite, which included “gender identity” along with sex. It ultimately failed and was blocked.
The meeting began with the chancellor painstakingly explaining why California would not cave on this issue. She never mentions women, sex or women’s sex-based rights, the whole point of Title IX.
We are a welcoming institution. An inclusive institution. Inclusive excellence is our most fundamental and treasured core value. It is in our DNA. As your chancellor, I assure you that will never change….The CSU will never give preference based on gender, gender identity, race, ethnicity, nationality, shared ancestry, religion, disability or any other protected status…

Alison Foote, who was present at the meeting sporting her XX XY athletics t-shirt summed up the violations of San Jose State in her speech.
I’m Allison Foote, treasurer for the Independent Council on Women’s Sports. San Jose State’s refusal to follow the OCR’s resolution agreement and hold itself accountable to the women whose volleyball season was destroyed and consent was compromised is an embarrassment to the entire CSI system. The school, among other things, gave a man a full women’s volleyball scholarship, concealed his sex from players and parents, put him in women’s locker rooms and hotel rooms on road trips, and prompted five women’s team to forfeit. Yet CSU is actually suing the federal government and offering nothing but its full support to the male athlete. This is CSU-sanctioned sexual abuse of the women you are obligated to protect. Your internally inconsistent Title IX and DHR guidelines that prioritize gender identity over sex have created the hostile environment unfolding before you now, but most importantly for the two hundred and six thousand women enrolled on your campuses. The adults in this room have failed all of them. Apparently, CSU is where safety and respect belong to everyone except women.

We knew from witnessing a previous meeting, at San Jose State last week, that protecting their trans identified students’ rights was the hill they wanted to die on. That misgendering was a crime so egregious a slight that a male student would make it his business to correct the offender severely. While having to state that there were only two sexes would deem their biology department a relic of the obsolete past.
I gave my speech to best capitalize on my having been a graduate of San Jose State and a lesbian activist since the ‘90s. (Never did I think I would actually boast about having gone to this state school.) And because we’ve been so long in this fight I could also say I actually witnessed the games that were in violation of Title IX.
Responses from shocked faculty members to our comments gave me the impression that this was the first time they had heard from Californians who were not on board with their righteous mission to offer men safe passage into women’s sports, spaces, and locker rooms. One assistant professor of sociology took offense at my comments that lesbians don’t have penises.
Her speech attempted to school us on how sex was a social construct, so she shouldn’t have to tell us that a trans woman was a woman. Her explanation was summed up with the statement that one in fifteen hundred babies are not born male or female. This explanation, along with some colorful personal revelations about girlfriends with penises, gave us a juicy bit to post to X that was picked up by the Daily Mail a day later. They love a good penis quote.
Other faculty members were also so triggered by our comments that they put aside what they came to talk about in order to voice their disgust at our comments and compare us to racists.
Antonio Gallo, California faculty of Chicano Studies. I wasn’t around during Jim Crow laws, but it feels like Jim Crow laws right now. The fact that you are separating individuals right now from restrooms and you’re using safety as an issue. That was the same used during Jim Crow laws. This is the CSU, this is what you all have created, but that’s not what I came here to talk about. I want to talk about SB98.
My name is Lisa Kawamura, CFA’s AVP for Chapter Presidents North, and I am a temporary lecturer at Cal Poly SLO in my twenty-eighth year. First, I am disgusted and disappointed in the bigotry and homophobia that have been expressed in this room today. This is precisely why we need to continue to fund the classroom and not the boardroom. I am truly disheartened by the hate reflected in some of our graduates and folks here today. Moving on. The January state budget..
It’s interesting that she heard homophobia in our speeches when we had at least three lesbians speaking. Of course, to them, any pushback on a trans identified man counts as bigotry. They just do not see the women they are violating, even when they are women themselves.
We, in turn, were shocked to discover that, while faculty members complained that they were hardly paid enough to make rent, the Chancellor received one million a year in compensation to run our state’s public education system. She is being paid to remove the legal existence of women as a sex class out of society, while fully approving the reconfiguration of basic biology in order to make the claim that trans identified men are women. She is also the first Latina woman to head such a four-year public University system.
That our group of dissenters presented ourselves as articulate, knowledgeable women full of facts about male athletes stealing women’s honors clearly surprised them. It was possibly the first time they had to entertain doubt that they would win their righteous battle against the binary fascism of humans only being born in two sexes. Yes, even those with DSDs (disorders of sex development) are either XY or XX. There is no third sex to counter the binary of the two sexes.
So we shall see how this case turns out. Will women win back their sports, spaces, privacy, and dignity, or will this University system be allowed to continue social engineering away the sex category of women and girls and their sex based rights, while insisting that humans can change sex? In the end, as one of our sex realists stated in her comments:
“California’s government can’t change reality by redefining what words mean. It may force people to comply with lies, but like all totalitarian mind control dictates, this will fail…. Stop risking CSU funding in a hopeless quest to litigate away reality.”
All the speeches can be watched in this thread.
The lesbian who said she has had plenty of girlfriends who had penises...that is what we're arguing against using appeals to logic and reality. It simply has no effect on them.
Pure delusion.
I much prefer the term "sex realists" to "gender critical".
I think for the vast majority of Americans this is still an unknown distorted by reporting from MSM that overwhelmingly acts as a propaganda outlet for the transtapo. I see no way they willingly change their views, and in their minds they genuinely believe they are akin to the aboslitionists who morally opposed the Fugitive Slave Act. This is an incredibly deep and dark hole we are trying to dig ourselves out of.
""inclusive" has long been for me "the F word"
