Usually, once something enters the culture, especially under the idea of \u201cacceptance\u201d and \u201ctolerance,\u201d it becomes so pervasive that you\u2019re more likely to see Big Foot than see things go the other way. Yet, in this case, 69 percent of Americans say that transgender athletes should only be allowed to compete in leagues that match who they actually are (i.e. their biological sex).<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Now, you might be saying it\u2019s sad and disturbing that such a sizable minority still doesn\u2019t agree with such a common sense position, but context is everything. 69 percent represents a rise of <em>seven percent<\/em> since 2021. Further, there\u2019s been a <em>four percent<\/em> rise among the public since 2021 in the belief that it is morally wrong to \u201ctransition\u201d one\u2019s gender (a misnomer in itself).<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>In short, the pro-transgender ideological gambit that has engulfed the nation, specifically in the last two years since Joe Biden\u2019s ascension to the White House, is backfiring. People are looking at what\u2019s being pushed and deciding that it\u2019s not only contrary to reality, but that it\u2019s simply wrong. Children should be protected, not butchered by opportunistic doctors. Women\u2019s spaces, including sports, should not be invaded by mentally ill men. And yes, transgender ideology as a whole, even for adults, should be thoroughly rejected.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The article concludes:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>To summarize, this is why it\u2019s foolhardy for anyone on the right to dismiss the culture wars as secondary. Yes, the economy is important. Yes, foreign policy matters. But if you lose the culture, you\u2019ve left yourself nothing to preserve and improve. Keep up the good fight.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Governments can make all of the laws they want, but if the laws are ignored, they are worthless.
