The poem above was written by an adolescent Irish girl, who’s a feminist and hip to the transgender mob that’s dividing western nations. America is locked in a culture war that begs for a true statesman, who can help aggrieved minorities without asking majorities to suspend reality. Heading into 2024, it’s clear Joe Biden is not that statesman, because his politics are identity-based. If his views were ideology-based, he would still support feminism.
Feminist: a person who tries to achieve change that helps women to get equal opportunities and treatment.
Cambridge English Dictionary
The best example of ideology-based liberalism was Bobby Kennedy, who toured rural Kentucky in 1968 to see white poverty firsthand. Sure, he supported the War on Poverty, but his presidential campaign promised economic justice for all, and decentralizing power to affect social change. Today’s Democrats, in contrast, insist poor whites are “privileged,” pro-life Catholics are “deplorable,” and Biden knows best. That has American unity at an all-time low (source: The Washington Post).
In 2020, Democrats prevented Hasidic Jews from gathering in prayer but allowed Black Lives Matter to create COVID super-spreader events. A year later, they were forcing poor whites to the back of COVID-vaccine queues, and making biological girls undress in front of once-male transgenders. Since when was it democratic to favor one minority over another, hurt a majority to appease a minority, or silence the aggrieved’s protest?
To wit, Dick Durbin (D-IL) called Riley Gaines’ defense of girls-only sports hate speech (“hateful rhetoric that denies their very [transgender] existence”) and state Rep. Tommy Hoyt (D-NH) told anti-woke parents, “Do your children a favor, and shut up.” Everywhere, Democrat-led school boards chastise Muslim parents for not wanting their sons and daughters immersed in gender fluidity (source: Al Jazeera). It’s why Ron DeSantis won re-election in a landslide.
Democrats said “believe all women” until female athletes complained about transitioned men in girls-only sports. This about-face is, of course, pure politics. Was it right to believe Christine Blasey Ford because her words hurt Republican Brett Kavanaugh, but not Riley Gaines because her words hurt an LGBTQ athlete, Lia Thomas? No, and Democrats are creating a problem if 229,000 NCAA women must yield to 50 trans athletes (source: CNN).
Gaines should be mad, because Democrats could accommodate transgenders with asexual divisions in sports, unisex public bathrooms, and transgender locker rooms. If Democrats cared, they’d see social media is filled with videos of parents and daughters telling school boards what’s not working for 70% of Americans (source: NBC News). That is, keep once-males out of girls sports – and stop the politics of identity.
What happened to Democrats, who once championed women’s issues? The vast majority of parents of female athletes (97%) say “sports are as important for girls as they are for boys” (source: WSF). And, it’s not as if women’s liberation is complete; they comprise 58% of college enrollment, but only 43.8% of NCAA athletes and just 10% of NCAA televised broadcasts. And, the share of women coaching women’s teams has fallen from 90% in 1972 to 43% today.
Actually, that “transphobic” Riley Gaines is just following the science. According to evolutionary biologists at Brown University, gender “evolved” at least a billion years ago, culminating in women now having 6,500 genes that men don’t have. Psychologists agree competitive sports foster confidence in women, and economists agree competent women are essential to today’s advanced economies. So, why would Democrats experiment on the female ecosystem?
Identity politics. Biden calls the GOP “transphobic” in spite of Florida and Texas, with only 15% of America’s population, being home to 22% of its LGBTQ population (source: MAP). He calls the GOP “homophobic” despite 66% of young Republicans telling Pew Research same-sex marriage is “good.” Biden misses the issue entirely: 75% of voters want parental consent in school gender identity policies (source: KATV).
In other words, say “gay” all day, but leave our kids alone. This is lost upon this president. When asked if Mr. Biden would reassure parents worried about their daughters being injured by physically superior trans athletes, Karine Jean-Pierre accused the reporter of calling transgender kids “dangerous” people and said it was “irresponsible” to say female “safety is at risk.”
You want irresponsible? It’s a press secretary that won’t define “woman” in a country with 167.5 million confirmed biological women – leaving it to 14-year-old girl from Ireland to state the obvious:
- Women’s liberation is the fight against a man’s idea of a “woman”
- Being a woman is not an acquired skill
- A man in a dress is (just) a gender-dysphoric man
Sadly, she is talking over the heads of almost every Democrat in America.
