Federal Investigation Finds Loudoun County Violated Boys’ Title IX Rights

The Department of Education (DoEd) closed its investigation into Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) Tuesday, concluding the school district violated the rights of two boys who asked, “Why is there a girl in the boys locker room?”

DoEd’s Office of Civil Rights began investigating LCPS over its treatment of a now-infamous Title IX dispute between three high school students.

Title IX prohibits sex discrimination in federally funded schools and education programs. In May, a female student filed Title IX complaints against two boys she had filmed rhetorically asking why she was in the boys locker room.

The girl had been using boys’ facilities under LCPS Policy 8040, which allows students to use bathrooms and locker rooms consistent with their “gender identity,” rather than their “biological sex.”

On August 18, LCPS concluded two of the boys’ comments constituted sexual harassment and sex-based discrimination under Title IX. One student was given a ten-day suspension, with additional “corrective action” to be determined in conjunction with faculty.

The other no longer lives in Virginia. His family moved to North Dakota in a futile attempt to prevent LCPS from labeling him a “sexual harasser.”

The boys had filed their own Title IX complaint arguing girls should not be allowed in boys bathrooms and locker rooms, but LCPS dismissed it without action. It’s unclear whether the female student faced any consequences for improperly filming in a school locker room.

LCPS punished the boys for violating Title IX, but DoEd says they are the true victims. Its investigation found the school district violated both boys’ Title IX rights by:

  • Failing to properly respond to their complaint about a female in the boys locker room.
  • Failing to treat both Title IX complaints equally.
  • Retaliating against them for reporting sexual harassment.

“[Office of Civil Right’s] investigation revealed a sex-based double standard,” the department’s press release reads, continuing:

Loudoun County failed to meaningfully investigate complaints of sexual harassment by two male students concerning the presence of a member of the opposite sex in male-only intimate spaces yet thoroughly investigated the female student’s sexual harassment complaint about the boys.

The statement reiterates the department’s well-established position that Title IX requires sex-segregated bathrooms and locker rooms. Last month, DoEd put LCPS and four other Virginia school districts on “reimbursement status” after they refused to separate private spaces by sex rather than “gender identity.”

The districts must submit their bills for reimbursement pending termination of their federal funding, worth a combined $50 million.

Yesterday’s press release gave LCPS 10 days to realign with Title IX by:

  • Rescinding the boys’ suspensions.
  • Redoing the investigation correctly.
  • Writing apologies for failing to properly investigate Title IX complaints.
  • Assuring both boys and their parents that LCPS will investigate their Title IX complaint.
  • Training LCPS staff to properly receive and respond to Title IX complaints.

Failure to comply will result in referral to the Department of Justice — and it certainly won’t increase the district’s stock with DoEd.

The department’s involvement is a big win for the boys and their families, who are still fighting LCPS’ judgement. On September 12, the district denied the boys’ internal appeal. Founding Freedoms Law Center and America First Legal plan to sue LCPS on the families’ behalf in the coming weeks.

Please join the Daily Citizen in praying federal involvement will convince LCPS to do the right thing and leave the boys alone.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth Fires Director of ‘Transgender Healthcare’

Pete Hegseth has fired Navy Commander Janelle Marra, who had been serving as “Deputy Medical Director for Transgender Healthcare” at the Naval Medical Center in San Diego.

In announcing the move on Twitter, Secretary Hegseth’s communication was short and blunt, writing:

“Pronouns UPDATED: She/Her/Fired”

If you’re surprised that the United States military even had such a position, especially nearly nine months into the new Trump administration, you wouldn’t be alone.

“My passion for compassionate healthcare is reflected in my focus on women’s and LGBT + health ensuring inclusive and holistic care for all service members,” posted Commander Marra.

Big problem.

Back on January 27, 2025, President Trump signed Executive Order 14183. It was titled, “Prioritizing Military Excellence and Readiness” and made clear that the Armed Forces is no place for radical social experimentation:

“The United States military has a clear mission: to protect the American people and our homeland as the world’s most lethal and effective fighting force. Success in this existential mission requires a singular focus on developing the requisite warrior ethos, and the pursuit of military excellence cannot be diluted to accommodate political agendas or other ideologies harmful to unit cohesion.”

“Recently, however, the Armed Forces have been afflicted with radical gender ideology to appease activists unconcerned with the requirements of military service like physical and mental health, selflessness, and unit cohesion. Longstanding Department of Defense (DoD) policy (DoD Instruction (DoDI) 6130.03) provides that it is the policy of the DoD to ensure that service members are “[f]ree of medical conditions or physical defects that may reasonably be expected to require excessive time lost from duty for necessary treatment or hospitalization.” As a result, many mental and physical health conditions are incompatible with active duty, from conditions that require substantial medication or medical treatment to bipolar and related disorders, eating disorders, suicidality, and prior psychiatric hospitalization.”

Not surprisingly, lawsuits quickly followed and lower court judges immediately pounced, initially halting the move. But by a 6-3 vote in May, the Supreme Court issued an unsigned order allowing the federal government to enforce the ban.

In issuing his ban on “trans” troops, President Trump was right.

“Consistent with the military mission and longstanding DoD policy, expressing a false ‘gender identity’ divergent from an individual’s sex cannot satisfy the rigorous standards necessary for military service.”

Back in May, Secretary Hegseth posted, “We are leaving WOKENESS and WEAKNESS behind. No more pronouns, no more climate change obsessions, no more emergency vaccine mandates, no more DUDES IN DRESSES.”

And now, no more “Deputy Medical Director for Transgender Healthcare.”

British Police Arrest Comedian for Pro-Women Tweets

Five armed British police officers arrested an Irish comedian Monday for “inciting violence” against “trans people” — with pro-women tweets he made months ago.

Graham Linehan “refuses to believe men can become women.” His staunch, often satirical, defense of biological reality makes him a frequent target of “trans” activists. The once successful screenwriter moved to the U.S. last year after the British entertainment industry reportedly blacklisted him as a “transphobe.”

British police nabbed Linehan at the Heathrow Airport Monday under “suspicion of inciting violence on X.” He spent time in a holding cell at Heathrow Police Station before an officer interviewed him about these three X posts:

The posts, which the comedian made in April, express negative opinions about “trans” activists with his characteristic comedic flair. Only one even remotely references violence.

Police treated them like a crime.

“[The officer] asked about each of the posts in turn, with the sort of earnest intensity usually reserved for discussing something serious like … oh, I don’t know — crime?” Linehan wrote in a scathing account of his experience.

When the officer zeroed in on his tweet about punching men who enter women’s spaces, Linehan said it was “a serious point made with a joke.”

“Men who enter women’s spaces are abusers, and they need to be challenged every time,” he maintained.

Linehan’s tweet would be protected under America’s First Amendment. Per the U.S. Supreme Court, “The public expression of ideas may not be prohibited because the ideas are themselves offensive to some of their hearers.” (Street v. New York, 1969).

But Britain’s Human Rights Act affords British citizens much flimsier protections. People can not only be prosecuted for inciting violence, but for uttering “hate speech” implicating a person’s “race, gender, sexuality and religion.”

What constitutes “hate speech,” you ask? Nobody knows.

Worse, the officer who interviewed Linehan for “inciting violence” apparently subscribes to radical gender ideology.

Per Linehan:

The officer mentioned the term “trans people.” I asked him what he meant by the phrase. “People who feel their gender is different then what was assigned at birth,” he said.

“Assigned at birth?” I responded. “Our sex isn’t assigned.” He called it semantics. I told him he was using activist language.

There’s nothing semantic about conceding people can be born in the wrong bodies. That single statement implies sex can not only be changed but is ultimately meaningless — two claims that defy natural law.

Ironically, the U.K is actively divorcing itself from such sentiments. In April, just days before Linehan posted the tweets that got him arrested, the U.K.’s Supreme Court defined “woman” as an adult female. The head of the U.K.’s Equality and Human Rights Commission subsequently announced men would no longer be allowed in women’s bathrooms, hospital wards and sports teams.

The decision should vindicate and embolden people, like Lineham, who speak biological truth and champion women. Instead, we’re left marveling at the U.K.’s failure to protect free speech.

Vice President J.D. Vance cautioned Europe against this exact scenario in a powerful speech at the Munich Security Conference in February.

“The threat I worry about most, vis a vis Europe, is not Russia or China or an external actor,” the vice president emphasized. “It’s the threat from within — the retreat of Europe from its fundamental values.”

He specifically exhorted Europe not to abandon free speech in favor of censorship — particularly on social media.

But here we are.

The vice president correctly recognizes Europe as a bellwether for America and the West. Though America’s free speech protections are more robust, our country is far from immune to government censorship and anti-speech laws.

Free speech protections are crucial, not only to a free society, but a flourishing Christian community. Anti-speech laws — like those preventing prayer, even silent prayer, outside abortion clinics — often target believers sharing Jesus Christ’s love, grace and truth with the world.

It is incumbent upon citizens and believers, then, to uncover and oppose violations of free speech, domestic and abroad.

President Ronald Reagan said it best in his first inaugural address:

Freedom is a fragile thing and it’s never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by way of inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people.

Male Offenders Harm Dozens of Female Inmates in Women’s Prison

Male prisoners have physically or psychologically harmed more than 50 female inmates at the Washington Corrections Center for Women (WCCW), multiple organizations report.

Washington’s Transgender Inmate Policy allows prisoners to be housed in facilities consistent with their subjective “gender identity,” rather than their biological sex.

At least three biological men have been housed in WCCW under this dangerous policy, according to research and interviews conducted by the Foundation Against Intolerance and Racism (FAIR) and the America First Policy Institute (AFPI), 44 women had filed formal complaints against these male prisoners as of March 2025.

Seven more women had either informally complained or kept quiet for fear of retaliation.

Of the formal complaints:

  • Eight reported verbal harassment and threats from male inmates.
  • Seven reported being forcibly housed with male inmates.
  • Two reported sexual assault.
  • One reported voyeurism.
  • One reported physical violence.

One of the women forced to live with a male inmate claimed the prison punished her for speaking up; she allegedly spent 30 days in solitary confinement.

AFPI has confronted the Washington Department of Corrections over these findings multiple times, including once last month after Christopher Williams, a 6-foot-4 man, brutally attacked a female inmate in WCCW.   

The department’s answer remains the same: It only grants inmates’ requests to move to opposite-gender facilities after “lengthy and intense scrutiny [by] a multidisciplinary committee.”

Let’s look at the three prisoners that passed this rigorous approval process to shack up at WCCW.

Bryan “Amber” Kim is incarcerated for murdering his parents. He spent time in WCCW sometime before March 2025, when he was transferred back to a male facility after having “consensual” sex with a female inmate at WCCW.

Prisoners cannot legally consent to sexual activity. Under U.S. law, Kim’s actions constitute rape.

The Washington Court of Appeals denied Kim’s petition to transfer back to WCCW on July 8.

DID YOU KNOW?
Washington taxpayers funded Gonanin’s transgender surgeries.

According to a settlement agreement between the Washington Department of Corrections and the American Civil Liberties Union, which represented Gonanin, the Department had already paid for two of the offender’s transgender surgeries. His third and final surgery was scheduled for May 2025.

Nathan Gonanin, who goes by “Nonnie Lotusflower,” is incarcerated for strangling a 17-year-old girl to death. He was transferred back to a male facility from WCCW on July 14, 2025.

Prior to his transfer, WCCW had placed Gonanin in solitary confinement. The Washington Department of Corrections had assessed he posed an “unmitigated threat to the safety of other incarcerated individuals’ within WCCW.”

According to FAIR, Gonanin was moved to solitary confinement after sexually assaulting at least one female inmate at WCCW.

Christopher Williams is a convicted sex offender incarcerated for first degree assault. His first request to transfer to WCCW was (rightly) denied in 2019 for his “level of past violence toward women.”

Williams allegedly menaced and sexually assaulted his cellmate, Mozzy Clark, just three months after he transferred to WCCW in late 2021. Last month, he brutally beat a female inmate, reportedly punching and kicking her until other inmates dragged him away.

As of September 2, he remains incarcerated at WCCW.

The formal complaints uncovered by FAIR and AFPI square with Clark’s allegations.

Though she repeatedly reported Williams’ escalating harassment, Clark claims officers warned that filing a complaint against Williams could be considered a hate crime and that the 6-foot-4 man might harm her if she reported him.

Clark’s lawsuit also suggests formal complaints against male prisoners don’t begin to capture the pain and fear female inmates experience when housed with men. Though we know of only one complaint filed for voyeurism, Clark claims Williams watched women shower and use the bathroom so frequently that inmates called him the “shower shark.”

In its letter addressing Williams’ most recent assault, AFPI castigated WCCW and the Washington Department of Corrections for allowing men to remain incarcerated at WCCW while women were put in danger.

[Washington’s Transgender Inmate Policy] recklessly and needlessly exposes female inmates to significant danger. While you have been alerted to those dangers on many occasions, this recent assault highlights your abject failure to protect the safety of female inmates.

It concludes:

On its face and in practice, your Transgender Inmate Policy prioritizes the accommodations of biological males (on the basis of sex) at the direct and obvious expense of female safety.

Not only is this policy discriminatory, it continues to subject female inmates to a disturbing level of actual and imminent harm.

The Daily Citizen heartily agrees. Incarcerated women have the Constitutional right to safety and privacy. Washington state has a duty to uphold it.
