Georgia's Attorney General Chris Carr announced that action has been taken against the Biden-Harris administration's "absurd rule" allowing "biological males to compete against females." Carr made his statement in a September 9 post on X.

"We've once again taken action against the Biden-Harris administration's absurd rule allowing biological males to compete against females," said General Chris Carr. "Whether it's Democrats or the NCAA, we'll continue to push back against all those intent on destroying women's sports."

According to Carr, he has submitted an amicus brief backing a Tennessee-led lawsuit that opposes the Biden-Harris administration's updated Title IX rule. The rule is being challenged for undermining women’s sports and requiring that males and females use the same bathrooms, according to a press release by Carr.

"This latest action will further bolster our efforts here in Georgia and across the country as we work to block this absurd rule once and for all. We’re committed to protecting female athletes, and we will never stop fighting for women’s rights to fair competition," said Carr according to a press release by Carr.

The U.S. Department of Education released final Title IX regulations, prohibiting sex discrimination in federally funded education programs and activities. These regulations outline protections against sex-based harassment, including provisions related to sexual violence, pregnancy, sexual orientation, and gender identity. The regulations require schools to address complaints of discrimination, ensure fairness in their processes, and communicate nondiscrimination policies to students and families while maintaining certain privacy standards, according to the U.S. Department of Education.

Chris Carr was appointed as Georgia's attorney general by then-Governor Nathan Deal in 2016 and was re-elected in November 2022. Since taking office, Carr has focused on addressing issues such as human trafficking, gang activity, and opioid misuse, including the establishment of the state's first Human Trafficking Prosecution Unit and Gang Prosecution Unit, according to the Office of the Attorney General.
