A few days ago, Feb. 7, Not the Bee posted a video of Donald Trump signing an Executive Order banning individuals born with penises from competing in Women’s athletic competitions. Surrounded by females, both young and somewhat older, he was greeted with gleeful approval. Intent on exposing the self-indulgent degeneracy of the Trans agenda, he pointed out that, for example, Arizona’s 800 mile endurance race for Female cyclists had been won by a trans Female who shattered the previous record for the event by more than 5 hours! Citing other examples of the obvious physical advantages enjoyed by those born biologically Male, was he in the grips of some sort of Anti-Trans bigotry or simply pointing out the Facts of Biological Reality?
The Left’s support of the Trans agenda suffers from the same inanity infecting most of its policies, the sentimental elevation of Feeling over the indisputable facts of Reality. I harbour no prejudice whatsoever towards those who identify as Trans, but at the same time must insist that they acknowledge the deviancy of their condition. They do not become Biological Females simply by declaring that they are such. “Wokeness,” however, champions self-indulgence, literally incites those who see themselves as “oppressed” to ignore Reality. Hence the assertion in many circles that Trump’s banishment of Trans Females from invading the washrooms, locker rooms and athletic competitions of Biological Females, is rooted in Bigotry, when it is in fact an expression of his undeniable defence of Women’s Rights. Yes, while it is possible that a Male may succumb to his baser instincts in dealing with women [i.e., Trump’s affair with Stormy Daniels], it is nevertheless also possible that he might be a staunch supporter of Women’s Rights. The newly elected president’s edict in no way imperils each individual’s right to Identify as they will, but it does deny the right of those born biologically Male to violate Women in all sorts of ways by insisting that they are their exact equals when they are Not!
Those who loathe Trump will of course say that the video of him signing his Executive Order before a roomful of admiring females was a contrived photo op. While this may be true, the approval of those females would seem to be genuine and his edict an honest attempt to defend Women’s Rights. Gee, is it possible that in this Woke World those on the Left are championing the ignorant agendas of certain “minorities” simply because they are minorities, while Trump’s defence of Women’s Rights actually makes him what used to be known as a Liberal?
