Transgenderism has become the new fad, the new divisive tool of the Left with which to destroy our families. We are hammered with it on the news day after day. The Federal government is making gender changing normal by adapting passports to accept X as a gender choice and different TSA screening and pat-down procedures to avoid embarrassing transgender travelers among a host of other government policy changes.
A biological man, Dr. Rachel Levine was appointed the U.S. assistant secretary for health for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the head of the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps by Biden, given the honorary title of Admiral, and then chosen as one of USA Today’s Women of the Year, knocking out a deserving actual woman from that honor.
Lia Thomas, another biological male and an indifferent swimmer when he competed against fellow men, claims now to be a woman and won the NCAA Women’s Swimming title, easily beating out the women including an Olympic Silver Medal Winner. He still has the body and the genitals of a male, but he used the women’s dressing room and competed as a woman, and the women were told to shut up and swim against him or be expelled from the university. Somehow, none of this bothers the Democrats who used to work so hard for the rights of women to have equal opportunities in both the workplace and in sports.
Democrats now act as if every child can simply choose to change his/her gender at will and that such a thing, if it were possible, would be healthy. They encourage young children in schools to do so, and deluded liberal parents have started their children on sex change hormones as early as kindergarten. This is why, to protect their children, Florida had to pass a law banning schools from teaching students about gender or sex in K through the 3rd grade, a law that even Democrat parents overwhelmingly support. Other states have gone farther, forbidding minors from being given gender changing drugs and procedures. And for good reason.
A group of children do exist who actually suffer from gender dysphoria, discomfort with their biological sex. But this group includes only between 0.005% and 0.014% of all children. Of this group, 94% grow out of this discomfort by puberty on their own and the other 6% can be helped to adjust through therapy. This means that out of every 1,000 children you might find one child suffering from this disorder, and that child will most likely grow out of it on his/her own. You certainly don’t need to discuss “choosing your gender” with every child in a kindergarten classroom! Mutilating bodies of children, altering their bodies, changing their lives forever, and giving them hormonal treatments before puberty when doctors have no idea how those abnormal hormones will react in their bodies is totally insane!
Newly appointed Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, herself a woman, cannot tell you what a woman is because she is “not a biologist,” she says, yet the definition is rather simple, and she is well educated enough to know that, proving that she was lying to please the far-left wing of the Democrat Party. A woman has XX chromosomes and a man has XY chromosomes. These, buried in our DNA, control the size of our hearts, the capacity of our lungs, the width of our hips and shoulders (a woman’s hips are wide for child bearing- a man’s narrow; a man’s shoulders are wide, a woman’s narrower), the length of our arm and leg bones, the shape of our face bones and pubic bones as well as our genitalia. Hormone therapy may cause a girl to grow a beard or a boy not to, and surgery can remove a girl’s breasts, but she will remain female and he will remain male, no matter what they call themselves or how they dress. All of the intricate biological factors that make males and females different cannot be changed by man. Our minds even work differently.
From time to time bones are discovered in remote areas and must be examined to determine whether they are the ancient bones of a native American, or the more recent bones of a lost hiker or a murder victim. Forensic archeologists are called in to examine these bones and the information they discover in them is vast. And among the information they will always be able to tell you is whether the bones come from a man or a woman and the approximate age of the individual when he or she died. If some years hence, the unidentified bones of Caitlyn Jenner or Lia Thomas were to be discovered and studied by a forensic archeologist, the scientist would study the bones and rightly conclude that the remains were those of an adult male.
Telling us that individuals can choose their own gender defies logic and science. A look at Lia Thomas standing with the runners-up at the NCAA finals should have demonstrated that pretty clearly. Lia clearly has the body of a man and the others swimmers do not. The world of the Democrats may view him as a woman and demand that we recognize him as such, but that does not change reality. DNA determines our gender and that DNA will be with us until we die.
Human beings are complicated creatures, and the male and female differ from each other in ways that are intricate and multitudinous. To believe that a man or a woman can change what God, in His mysterious and wondrous wisdom has created, is the greatest hubris that can be imagined and is as impossible as a tree suddenly deciding to become a mountain. That Democrats tell us that a gender can be changed is a lie. A woman with her breasts cut off and a beard is not a man, and a man with his genitals tucked up and breast enhancements is not a woman. There are not birthing people, only women who give birth. And women is not spelled womxn any more than Latinos and Latinas are Latinx.
The Democrat Party which once touted itself as the Party of Women and of Science has become both anti-women and anti-Science, pushing lies as truth and denouncing the truth as lies in their delusional fantasy world. But just because Democrats have chosen to dive down the rabbit hole doesn’t mean the rest of us need to. We know what is true and we must stand firm in support of that truth. So the next time someone asks you if you can define a woman, tell him!
