The Trump administration has opened an investigation into Washington State for alleged Title IX violations, and the facts are clear: biological males are being allowed to participate in female sports and use girls’ locker rooms. This isn’t about feelings; it’s about fundamental fairness and the objective reality of biological differences.
The Department of Education has announced a first-of-its-kind investigation into Washington’s Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI). Why? Because they’re using their position of authority to coerce districts into hiding “gender identity” information from parents and adopting policies that smuggle gender ideology into classrooms. This is a clear violation of parental rights and female equality in athletics, both of which are protected by federal law.
Now, let’s say, for the sake of argument, that gender is entirely a social construct. Even if that were true (which it demonstrably isn’t), it wouldn’t negate the biological realities that give males a significant athletic advantage over females. Statistically speaking, males have higher bone density, greater muscle mass, and increased lung capacity. These are not opinions; these are scientific facts. Facts don’t care about your feelings, and the facts about biological differences are irrefutable.
The left’s position on this issue is, frankly, ridiculous. They argue that we should ignore objective biological reality in favor of subjective gender identity. But here’s where the logic breaks down: either we believe in the existence of women as a distinct biological category, or we don’t. If we do (and we should, because science), then protecting women’s sports from male competitors is not only logical but necessary for maintaining the very purpose of Title IX.
The violation of parental rights. The OSPI has instructed schools “not to proactively share information about any students’ gender identity without the student’s consent.” This is a fundamental misunderstanding of the role of parents in their children’s lives. The idea that schools should keep secrets from parents about their children is absurd on its face and a clear overreach of state authority.
In conclusion, the left’s push for transgender athletes in women’s sports is not about equality; it’s about ideology trumping biology. It’s about feelings superseding facts. And that’s something that not only violates the spirit and letter of Title IX but also undermines the very concept of women’s sports. Those are the facts, regardless of how they make anyone feel.
