Transgenderism, whereby deluded and often narcissistic people claim that they are the opposite sex despite what biology has dictated, is the mental illness du jour. One of the disastrous conclusions of these gender-confused individuals is that men should be allowed to participate in women’s sports. They claim they are “women,” after all.

This particular argument is absurd and offensive to most people. The vast majority of moms and dads, concerned for their daughters’ safety on the field and in the locker room, are fiercely opposed to males invading girls’ sports.

In fact, this consensus is finally reaching the federal level. Last week, Eastern District of Kentucky Chief Judge Danny C. Reeves struck down the Biden administration’s proposed Title IX changes that would have enshrined gender identity and destroyed women’s sports.

Now, the House of Representatives is also seeking to intervene. The chamber recently put forth a bill called The Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act, which explicitly protects women’s sports and defines sex and gender as “based solely on a person’s reproductive biology and genetics at birth.”

This week, the bill passed the House 218-206. Two Democrats, and only two, voted to protect women’s sports. This is insane not only because it eschews biology but because transgenderism is a big culprit in Democrats losing the November election.

Only two Democrats voted yes to keep men out of women’s sports. How insane is this? I can’t believe that it is Democrat party orthodoxy that men pretending to be women should be able to play women’s sports. Legit crazy town. pic.twitter.com/0fuFxeQudG

Democrats are beholden to their radical wing, evidenced by the fact that even Democrat Congressman Seth Moulton ended up voting against the bill. After the November election, he said, “I don’t want [my girls] getting run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete, but as a Democrat, I’m supposed to be afraid to say that.” As a Democrat, he ended up dutifully falling into line. And right now, it’s trendy to call transgenderism the next civil rights issue. Yet, since November, they also want everyone to know that transgenderism is a nonissue since there are, ostensibly, such a small number of gender-confused kids.

It’s the classic Democrat argument: It’s not happening, but it’s good that it is. Males are in female sports and it does have terrible consequences for women. On a purely practical level, it puts them in physical jeopardy. Men have every physical advantage. They can run faster, jump higher, and lift more weight. This means that when a male volleyball player spikes a ball at a female opponent, he can cause (and has caused) severe injuries, including brain damage.

Gender-deluded males are also taking away positions on teams, scholarship money, prize money, and so much more from the women they so cavalierly push to the side.

Democrats may have lost this issue for now, but they are not stopping. In fact, they will persist in this nonsense. The first openly gender-confused member of the House of Representatives is actively pushing his trans agenda. First, he wanted the right to use the women’s bathroom, which was rightly denied. Now, he is visiting elementary schools and pushing transgenderism and “correct” pronoun usage on kids.

Democrats aren’t going to give up unless this issue becomes so politically toxic for them that they leave it alone. The House’s decision on this matter is a step in the right direction. Now, it’s time for the Senate to deal the coup de grâce and slam the door shut on this madness.
