Translunacy

The war on biological reality started long ago but no one wants to admit it.

It’s worth noting that while much of the country was still analyzing Donald Trump‘s remarkable comeback, Democrat leadership was busy celebrating the first transgendered member of Congress.

Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) led the way, castigating her colleagues who refused to see gender dysphoria under every bed.¹ Progressive activists may be on the wrong side of history, but like hating Trump, they can’t help themselves.

Neither can legacy media. Bud Light, Disney’s war on parents, Target ‘pride’ displays and Joe Biden’s Easter proclamation as a Transgender Day of Visibility?² No problem. The gender status of an Algerian Olympic boxer matters little to woke journalists at CNN who’d still be calling out trans critics if Mike Tyson had beat the tar out of a woman—as long as he identified as one.³

Ask Riley Gaines.

Or a courageous Boise State women’s volleyball team that decided to forfeit against San Jose State University rather than sanction unfair competition. After a federal judge refused to intervene, SJSU’s loss in its NCAA playoff bid ended the controversy just in time for the Supreme Court to hear a precedent-setting transgender case of its own.⁴

In of U.S. v. Skrmetti, the justices will decide whether Tennessee’s ban on minors obtaining puberty blockers, hormone therapy or sex-change surgery violates the Fourteenth Amendment’s guarantee of equal protection—meant to ensure fair treatment for all those in similarly situated circumstances.⁵

Biden’s Solicitor General is arguing that states are discriminating by not allowing sex-transitioning treatment for those under 18 despite the law merely adds to the list of other procedures that are prohibited in the name of safeguarding children and consumers. The same Biden administration that opened an investigation on the basis of a National School Boards Association memo that labeled parents who oppose the DEI agenda as ‘domestic terrorists.’⁶

It’s all complete lunacy. But so is the fact that Adm. Rachel Levine’s HHS office advocated for even lower age requirements for minors to obtain transgender surgeries.⁷ Minors! I guess they really are coming after the kids.

The equal protection clause is part of what we know as the Civil War Amendments, passed in 1868 to end race-based legal classifications, such as the infamous ‘black codes.’⁸ It did not, for the most part, tell the states what laws to pass—but along with the guarantee of procedural due process—only that they be applied equally to black and white alike.

So how, in the name of the Almighty, did we get from there to hormones, puberty blockers, adolescent surgeries, boys in women’s restrooms and referring to straight female athletes as ‘non-transgender women’?⁹

Rome didn’t fall in a day and we’ve been debasing ourselves for years. Salacious Madison Avenue ad campaigns for airlines and Big Pharma, not to mention real estate and vacation apps, that look more like a Joy Reid DEI segment than commercials. Olympic drag queen versions of the Last Supper at the Olympics, etc.

The law follows culture and it too has turned its back on 2000 years of Western Civilization. No one wants to go there, but I will.
