Transgender athletes are a threat to women’s sports

President Joe Biden proposed changes to Title IX recently, including strengthened protection for transgender student-athletes. This initiative sparked debate within a House of Representatives subcommittee over whether transgender women should have the right to compete in women’s sports.

Straight Arrow News contributor Star Parker believes that allowing transgender women to compete in women’s sports is unjust and poses a potential threat to the safety of cisgender women.

This is a threat not only to the fairness of women’s sports, but also [to] the comfort and safety of all female athletes as well. We’re hearing so many stories now about these men, biological men, in the shower rooms with women. Young girls.

Of course, Biden’s Secretary of Education, Miguel Cardona, has already said that he supports allowing biological-male transgender people to compete in women’s sports. But right now, that proposed rule has not been finalized by the Department of Education. In fact, 60 Democrat members of Congress, they recently sent a letter to the secretary, outraged that it wasn’t finalized by October. 

Yeah, there’s probably a lot of reasons it’s not finalized, because it’s obscene. It’s absurd that we as a country would even have to have this activity here in Washington, D.C., and especially in the Department of Education.

You see, Democrats won’t stop, though, in their pursuit of injustice. That means we can’t stop in our pursuit of truth and what’s right. Congress must do everything they can to protect women’s sports. Everything.
