An article recently published on the website of Not The Bee featured a photo of the track team of a Connecticut high school named Old Saybrook which included 11 lovely young biological females dwarfed by the presence of a 6 ft. 3 transgender who clearly weighs well over 200 pounds. Rose McNaughton, the person in question, recently finished second [ He didn’t win? ] in a shot put competition, thereby entitling him/her to compete in the upcoming girls’ State Championships of May 29. The writer of the article suggests it is outrageous that a biological female was denied access to that competition due to McNaughton’s presence.
This situation, sadly, isn’t the result of some random oversight but rather of the consciously articulated Non-Discrimination policies of the school board to which Old Saybrook belongs. Determined to protect those prone to discrimination based on their color, gender, sexual orientation, etc., the board apparently had no problem in ignoring the simple, irrefutable facts of Human Biology. That the political Left, which used to champion the rights of Women, is now perfectly willing to ignore their rights out of deference to a deviant sector of the species which refuses to see itself as such, is absurd. I must assert, of course, that I do not use the term “deviant” as an indictment, but to denote a simple biological fact.
Any sane person viewing the photograph posted by Not The Bee must conclude the 6 ft. 3 McNaughton has no right to compete against biological females. But while, as I have previously pointed out, there is a growing tendency amongst authorities to banish biological Males from competing in Women’s sports, the absurdity of the Connecticut school board’s decision to support McNaughton is an apt reflection of the absurdity of DEI itself, an irrational Leftist doctrine devoted to Equality which simply refuses to admit the very real diversity of our species. As a significant number of Women take great joy in tending to their children and have no desire to work 40 hours a week, Females often fail to fulfil the statistical expectations of Equal Outcome Fanatics who of course attribute that failure to Male Bias and Oppression. Ironically, while their outrage knows no bounds where well-paying, highly respected positions are concerned, it disappears altogether with regards to those many male dominated occupations [construction, mining, the military, etc.] which not only yield modest economic benefits but tend to be physically demanding if not dangerous. Is there a ludicrous double-standard in effect here?
Governed by what they deem to be a saintly compassion, some on the Left have willfully violated Women’s rights out of “empathy” for Transgenders, while others have defended those rights by demonizing Men for society’s failure to meet statistical expectations that fly in the face of Human Nature. The Left’s neo-Marxist Egalitarianism [i.e., all people are the same] is silly. But that it is costing Western taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars while at the same time undermining the fundamental values of our Civilization, is truly dangerous. Some of the insane repercussions of DEI well be the topic of my next blog.
