Radical transgender agenda could make Democrats lose this fall

Men in women’s bathrooms, boys in girls’ sports, and worst of all, parents
forbidden from blocking “sex-reassignment surgery” for their minor
children.

These are among the radical implications of the Equality Act supported by
almost all Senate Democrats. Controversy about this bill may just be the
sleeper issue of the fall campaign, and a conservative group called the
American Principles Project is trying to make Democrats pay for it.

Good for APP. Its warnings are justified.

APP is running ads in Michigan against incumbent Democratic Sen. Gary
Peters and against presidential nominee Joe Biden because of their support
for the Equality Act. The three ads pull no punches. Two of them feature a
man named Kevin Whitt who transitioned to female as a teenager, only to
decide 17 years later he was a man after all. He says that sex changes for
minors are “child abuse.” A third commercial features girls running on a
track but beaten by a person who is still obviously a boy and thus losing
the championships, and maybe scholarships, they otherwise would have won.

Democrats say the Equality Act is intended to stop discrimination against
gay and transgender people, but APP and others argue it would force
radical consequences such as the ones described above. With good logic,
they point to similar state laws that already have done so.

At least on the problem of biological males unfairly competing in women’s
sports, some very prominent liberals and gay activists agree that the
Equality Act goes too far. They write that without an exception to its
language for Title IX, which mandates adequate funding for women’s sports,
the Equality Act “would do significant damage to Title IX and to the
Amateur Sports Act, which governs sports outside of educational settings.”

As they further explain, “Title IX not only permits but often requires
educational institutions that receive federal money to provide separate
programs and opportunities for females based on sex. This is necessary
because sex segregation is the only way to achieve equality for girls and
women in competitive athletics.”

Those warnings came in a guest column in the Washington Post by all-time
tennis great Martina Navratilova, a lesbian and thoughtfully outspoken
liberal activist, by four-time Olympic track gold medalist Sanya Richards-
Ross, and by Duke law professor Doriane Coleman. They support the Equality
Act overall, but they say it must be amended to support women’s sports.

At least in the U.S. House of Representatives, Democrats were too radical
even to consider such an amendment. When Republican Rep. Greg Steube of
Florida asked permission to offer an amendment such as the one advocated
by Navratilova and company, House Democrats killed his effort, with only
one Democrat voting to protect Title IX.

Almost every Democrat in the Senate also supports the Equality Act as is,
as does Biden. That’s why APP and other conservative groups will try to
make all of them fully own the implications of sex changes for minors and
of boys trampling girls in athletics. The issues are legitimate. The
bill’s provisions would be hugely detrimental to reason, fairness, and
decency. If Democratic candidates don’t disown the bill as written, they
deserve to pay a political price.

No collusion - Special Counsel Robert Swan Mueller III, March 2019.

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.

Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.

President Trump has boosted the economy, reduced illegal immigration,
appointed dozens of judges and created jobs.

Senile loser and NAMBLA supporter Nancy Pelosi got "Trumped" on February
