Last month, ABC anchor Martha Raddatz was mocked by J.D. Vance when she tried to minimize the threat of gangs in Colorado taking over apartment buildings by force. “The incidents were limited to a handful of apartment complexes,” she said. It’s too bad for you if you lived in one of those buildings.
“Do you hear yourself?” Vance asked.
That’s echoing now on biological males invading women’s sports. On his HBO soapbox “Last Week Tonight,” British comedian/activist John Oliver expressed disgust that Kamala Harris couldn’t rebut Donald Trump on this.
“There are vanishingly few trans girls competing in high schools anywhere,” Oliver claimed. “Even if there were more, trans kids, like all kids, vary in athletic ability and there is no evidence they pose any threat to safety or fairness.”
Out came the “no evidence” argument, which is simply overstated. You can easily find evidence, like 17-year-old volleyball player Payton McNabb getting injured in the head and neck and suffering partial paralysis after getting spiked in the face by a man in 2022. But Oliver dismissed her and her side. “It’s very weird for you to be so focused on the subject,” he said as he focused on the subject.
MSNBC anchor Jen Psaki echoed Oliver, taking after Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.) telling The New York Times he didn’t want his girls to be run over on the field by a male. The backlash among Democrats was intense.
“Reflection is good, but if that were actually an issue at thousands of schools across the country it would be worthy of a debate,” she said. “There are just incredibly few examples of transgender girls playing in youth sports, and when we do see these examples, there is no evidence that these kids are a threat to safety or fairness.”
Psaki mocked the red states who passed bans on boys in girls’ sports since they could only find one in Utah and one in South Dakota. She may have a point, since it’s in blue states where this is all the rage, and the blue states wouldn’t dare offend the LGBTQ forces. The social contagion of transgenderism is at odds with the notion that the number is “vanishingly few.”
Oliver and Psaki are mad that this was a losing issue for Democrats. A survey from the University of Chicago found that 65% of Americans said transgender athletes should never or rarely be allowed to compete in sports leagues that don’t match their biological sex. The election seems to have underlined it.
“Trump and the Republicans have managed to amplify their bad-faith attacks to the point where people do have concerns, as misguided and misinformed though those concerns may be,” Psaki claimed. On the Left, any challenge to transgender orthodoxy is considered a “bad-faith attack.” You’re “misinformed” if you think this issue isn’t insignificant. Dissent equals misinformation.
Psaki described it as a fight between “manufactured panic” on the Right versus “actual facts” on the Left. But this professional Democrat failed to consider the actual fact that biological males simply cannot “become” girls in athletics. They have a pronounced physical advantage.
The libertine Left creates a “manufactured panic” that laws against transgender crossover into women’s sports is “targeting” people and harming their mental health to the point of suicide.
Consider the actual fact that nearly 900 biological females were robbed of medals in sports competing against transgender athletes, according to a United Nations study titled “Violence against women and girls in sports.” Concerns about young women’s fairness and safety cannot be mocked away by comedians and cable TV hosts.

They always keep saying “ITS a tiny threat”.
BUT ARE NOT the liberals always whining about gun control “IF it saves but one life its worth it!”?
SO HOWS about applying the same logic here.
To this treasonous self-righteous, lying Democrat Party and their supporters and their media/political propaganda media our U.S. Constitution, Laws, Gender, Truth, Facts, Reality and History are all irrelevant. If the Democrats or their journalists do not WANT to believe them, or they disagree with them. Democrats and their rag journalists will just make up their own, laws, Gender, Truth, Facts, Reality and History to fit what they WANT to believe or fits into the Con or Deception that they are running at the time.
The main reason societies separate women and men in competition that would or could cripple the less physical strength endowed women is obvious. Female bodies are created by God to birth and create the next generation of American life that today have become the “Easy Bake Ovens” of liberal insanity whose lightbulbs within are allowed to be competition crushed toys, all for the deluded justification that all sexes are equal, which when put into action just validates the inaccuracy of their delusions, and puts our girls at risk of becoming individually as broken and barren as our nation has now collectively become, in a reflection of that baron secular ideology. This is just another mental mind-bending action to diminish belief in a divine creator, to disparage his original productive designs for the human race to attain where opposites not only attract, but complement each other in human synergy were the combined whole becomes greater than it’s individual parts,,,,, now proactively abused by liberals to replace the Creative god of infinity, with the finite foolish god in the mirror, where the sum of the individual unequally endowed parts become separated, diminished, and abused in violent acts of physical confrontation, all for the sake of creating a new, but totally unworkable state of human reality. You cannot fool mother nature, and a penalty is always paid when you do.
These people must live in a planet far far away.
In their own reality in their minds.. PITY WE can’t send them there for real!
