MADISON, Wis. Dec. 23, 2024 /Christian Newswire/ -- President Joe Biden's Department of Education announced its withdrawal of their Title IX changes that allowed transgenders on women's teams, plus allowed them to shower with females.
The proposition that was reversed was titled "Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Sex in Education Programs or Activities Receiving Federal Financial Assistance: Sex-Related Eligibility Criteria for Male and Female Athletic Teams."
There were 23 states in the U.S. that had already banned transgenders from competing as females in public schools.
Steve McConkey, Director of SPORTS ACTION (a branch of 4 WINDS USA), has opposed the LGBTQ sports movement since 2003. “We had polls done and knew that 70% of Americans were against transgender athletes in women's sports,” states McConkey. “This is a clear victory for us after many worldwide interviews and visiting Washington DC and various state capitols. Finally, Biden realized that his legacy would be tarnished by the insane Title IX changes. Thanks to everyone who stood with us over the years through prayer.”
In 2003, Steve started fighting against the International Olympic Committee’s transgender policies. He was the only person who stood against this publicly.
From there, the transgender movement spread to state high schools, the NCAA, NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL. Steve has fought this agenda every step of the way. Eventually, World Athletics (track and field) and World Aquatics (swimming), plus other sports, banned transgenders from participating at the international level.
In March 2022, Steve went to Washington D.C. and the Wisconsin Capitol. He told elected officials that they need to not just stop transgender athletes, but to stop the transgender surgeries and hormone treatments of those under eighteen. Afterwards, twenty-six states stopped transgender athletes and those harmful medical practices.
On October 4, 2023, Steve spoke at three hearings at the Wisconsin Capitol. Two bills were against transgender athletes on high school and college teams. The third bill was against the transgender surgeries and hormone treatments for those under eighteen. The bills passed the Assembly and Senate, but Governor Evers vetoed them.
During the 2024 Olympics, Steve opposed the International Olympic Committee for telling the media to not use certain words to address athletes, including the words “husband and wife.”
