Transgender doesn’t exist.
The United States Supreme Court issued an opinion saying that states can prohibit young men who dress like girls from playing on the girls’ team. In the opinion, the Court defines “sex” in Title IX cases to mean “biological sex.” Yeah, no kidding. This means that horrible parents who suffocate a child with transgender lies won’t be able to sue to get their kid on the local sports team. This is a win for girls and hopefully a Road to Damascus moment for transgender mental patients.
House Republicans X account shared the news and added, “In other news, water is wet, the sky is blue, and some things should never have been controversial in the first place.” Hear, hear.
The opinion isn’t exactly a 6-3 ruling, but it can be loosely described that way. Justice Kavanaugh wrote for the Court. The liberal bloc, Justices Jackson, Kagan, and Sotomayor, dissented, at least in part. However, John Eastman of The Claremont Institute wrote on X, “On the key statutory question, whether Title IX requires states to allow biological men who identity as women into women sports, the Court is unanimous.” That’s bigly.
Of course, Justice Jackson embarrassed herself with an opinion that makes little sense and includes ridiculous phrases such as “sex assigned at birth,” “cisgender,” and this gem; “A transgender woman penalized for being perceived as aggressive…” Hahaha. I was laughing too hard to keep reading. She can’t help herself.
NBC News, which is tabloid trash, called the decision “another major blow to LGBTQ rights.” Imagine believing physically harming young girls is a right and then call it a “another major blow” when a court says you can’t physically harm young girls. But it doesn’t have to rise to the level of a young girl getting hurt. The decision says fairness can’t be kept when a boy competes against girls in sports. And those reasons are painfully obvious.
Riley Gaines, a wonderful advocate for women’s sports, wanted more from the Court. She wrote on X, “This ruling doesn’t mean they MUST have women’s sports, just that it’s not illegal if they do. Nonetheless, it’s a victory.” They in her post are the states. I see her point, but I disagree that the federal government should reign in with a requirement on a locality to facilitate women’s sports. This case gets it right and to the right degree. There’s no overreaching here, no draconian government decree. The Court got it right and kept it to wherever there are women’s sports under the direction of a state or local government. Narrow and limited are desirable characteristics of government action.
Transgender doesn’t exist. That’s a scientific fact that Republicans say all the time, while Democrats believe in a falsehood they can’t shake. There shouldn’t be such a hard-partisan divide on basic science, but here we are.
Save young girls by voting Republican.
