I realize that this title is somewhat inflammatory. However, what is happening today supposedly in the defense of a victim group is creating great hardships for the greater society and it is an example of how democrat socialists will use anything to further undermine orderly society in a quest to remake the country.
First, it is important to remember that America, despite some flaws in our history, is comprised of fair minded and tolerant people. As society becomes more aware of unfair treatment, Americans change their viewpoints. In my life I have seen a society that was profoundly discriminatory against Blacks and other minority groups into one of equal opportunity and justice for all. As recently as 13 years ago then President Obama stated that he was opposed to gay marriage. A few years later the Supreme Court, with the approval of the vast majority of Americans made it legal. This was an astounding change in public opinion in a very short period of time. Today we are witnessing another change in attitudes about transgenders, however the proponents are going too far and in the process are hurting women in particular and society as a whole.
This father, Scott Smith, was arrested at a Loudon County school board meeting after he spoke up about the board covering up the rape of his teenage daughter in a school restroom by a boy wearing a skirt. This was the second time this same boy had committed a sexual assault of a girl in the same school district. The board had done nothing about the first assault citing the boy’s “right” to use the restroom that conformed to his self designation as a female. A disgusting example of defending the “rights” of a criminal over those of an innocent young girl. No one could recognize this worst case scenario when you allowed an anatomical teenage male into a girl’s restroom? Of course they did, they just did not care about young girls becoming rape victims. If a male wants to dress and call himself a woman, fine. It’s a free country. But to allow them to use women’s restrooms, locker rooms and showers is criminally negligent behavior. In states like California and Washington they are putting male convicted rapists and and murderers into women’s prisons. They know the dangerous conditions they are creating and their response is to tell the women to take birth control pills. We don’t care if our women prisoners are raped, we just don’t want to pay for the birth and care of any children that may be born as a result of the criminal behavior. What has happened to women’s rights? Where are the feminists?
The photo above is of two University of Pennsylvania female swim team members. Can you guess which of them was born a male? If you guessed the giant with the male looking face and body, you would be correct. Should anyone have been shocked when, after taking a year off from swimming on the men’s team and taking testosterone reducing drugs, he came back and shattered the female records in every event in which “she” competed. Again, what is happening to women’s rights? What happened to Title 9 that forces colleges to spend the same on women’s sports as men’s. Was that law not created to encourage women having an equal opportunity to compete in sports? If we allow men to join women’s teams eventually there will no longer be women in sports. It does matter if you believe that these guys truly believe they were born woman and that is okay or if you believe it is a mental health condition, gender dysphoria, and should be treated. The simple biological fact is that men are, on balance, bigger, stronger and faster than women. Not fair or unfair, just a simple fact. Let’s look ge length at a sport I enjoy, golf. The longest average on the PGA Tour is 323 yards by Cameron Young. None of the top 100 PGA golfers average less than 300 yards. In comparison, the longest average drive on the LPGA Tour is 291 yards by Anne Van Dam. By the time you reach #13 the average is down to 269 yards. If the difference is just 30 yards, think about how great an advantage a low ranked male golfer would have over the best of the LPGA. If biological men begin to infiltrate to the LPGA, game over. Literally. Why would any sane person allow the destruction of women’s sports? Do you really want someone of Lebron’s size to play in the WNBA? It is crazy and harmful to women.
I could go on, but the point I think has been made. In an insane pursuit of so called “fairness” we are causing physical and emotional harm to women and girls and destroying women’s sports. Why doesn’t society care about women and why do we permit these lies become the basis of public policy?
So well written. Anytime a transgender who is atomically male does NOT have the right to enter women’s sports or a ladies room. I’m am unclear as to why the “champion swimmer”feels as though she EARNED the records at the University of Pennsylvania. It’s demeaning and classless to the other biological women swimmers on the team.
As far as the bathroom facilities are concerned….it’s open season for sexual predators. This is not to be confused/compare/contrast any person who identifies as transgender. I am solely focusing on the word “predator” whoever they may be. Predator is described a person or group who ruthlessly exploits others. All of us need to stand up for common sense. I’ve had the privilege to do so at a hospital in my area and I will not back down.
Thank you for the great article, John. You have given me even more information for my cause.
