The law of unintended consequences seems to spend a lot of time in Washington. One of the best recent examples is the “Equality Act” promoted by the Democrats in the House of Representatives. If the Democrats can maintain their majority in the House of Representative and win a majority in the Senate in 2016, they will pass the Equality Act. So what will the Equality Act do? It will allow men transitioning to women to compete in women’s sports in high school. High school women are losing athletic scholarships because they are losing to transgender women in sports events (article here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Yesterday The Daily Caller<\/a> posted an article about the Democrat Party’s plans for America’s future.<\/p>\n

The article notes:<\/p>\n

Democrats have made girls\u2019 sports a 2020 campaign issue, but establishment media outlets are keeping their viewers and readers in the dark.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every Democratic frontrunner<\/a> has pledged their support of the Equality Act<\/a>, which would make \u201cgender identity\u201d a protected characteristic under federal anti-discrimination law. Among other things, the bill would force public schools to expand female athletic teams to include biological males who identify as transgender girls.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every Democratic frontrunner for president has pledged their support for the bill, which passed the House in May with unanimous Democratic support<\/a>.\u00a0But when establishment media outlets have covered the Equality Act in relation to the 2020 election, the girls\u2019 sports issue has gone missing.<\/strong><\/p>\n

An Oct. 10 CNN article<\/a> noted that passing the Equality Act is a \u201ctop priority\u201d for the 2020 campaigns of California Sen. Kamala Harris, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren and South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg, but made no mention of the bill\u2019s impact on female sports. CNN\u2019s LGBT town hall<\/a> the same day included zero questions about transgender athletes in girls\u2019 sports.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

Polling from Morning Consult shows that majorities of Republicans, Democrats and independents agree<\/a> that male athletes who identify as transgender have a competitive advantage in girls\u2019 sports, a view supported<\/a> by scientific research<\/a> on the subject.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Biologically male athletes<\/a> have racked up victories in female sports.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Two biologically male runners in Connecticut have dominated girls\u2019 high school track<\/a> in the liberal state, which allows self-identified transgender athletes to compete as the opposite sex. At the NCAA level, a male runner who identifies as transgender won an NCAA women\u2019s track championship<\/a> in May after previously competing on the university\u2019s men\u2019s team.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Men competing as women harms women’s athletics. It defies science and common sense.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
