Georgia's Attorney General Chris Carr has said that men should not compete in women’s sports, describing it as a violation of "science and the law." He announced plans to take legal action against the Biden administration. Carr made this statement in a December 18 post on X.

"Men should not play in women's sports," said General Chris Carr. "It violates science and the law. We went to Court today to stop this nonsense from the Biden administration."

According to Carr, he has submitted an amicus brief supporting a Tennessee-led lawsuit opposing the Biden-Harris administration's updated Title IX rule. The rule is being challenged for allegedly undermining women’s sports and requiring that males and females use the same bathrooms, as per 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.

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.

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, he has focused on addressing issues such as human trafficking, gang activity, and opioid misuse. This includes establishing the state's first Human Trafficking Prosecution Unit and Gang Prosecution Unit.
