The Supreme Court’s decision on Title VII employment discrimination has potentially set the stage for the demise of all women’s sports. Several states have the opportunity to stand in the way — or at least to try.
In Bostock v. Clayton County, the court decided 6-3 that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act protects people from employment discrimination based on sexual orientation and transgender status. The latter is particularly noteworthy, as the opinion written by Neil Gorsuch could easily be used to argue that women’s sports are discriminatory if they do not allow transgender women to participate.
According to the left-wing activist organization Human Rights Campaign, 14 states still have bills being considered that would bar men from competing in women’s sports, including those who identify as transgender women. While Idaho’s bill has passed, and Gov. Brad Little is expected to sign. Others have been put on hold thanks to the coronavirus and nationwide protests.
Special legislative sessions could see these bills start to move forward again, especially in the wake of the decision in Bostock.
The debate has been laid out for all to see in Connecticut, where two biological men have won 15 women’s state track championships and broken 13 individual women’s records. In both Montana and New Hampshire, biological men have been running track events at the NCAA level, winning events, awards, and spots for future meets that otherwise would have gone to female athletes.
The natural biological advantages of men have been put on full display in women’s track. Meanwhile, left-wing groups are trying to gaslight the public into disbelieving our own eyes. The American Civil Liberties Union hilariously claims that because males don’t win every single time, there must be no differences between male and female athletes.
The ACLU would have us ignore the results out of Connecticut; and that the WNBA has had only six players in its history dunk a basketball; and every video that exists of Fallon Fox, a mostly unskilled biological male capable of beating women senseless in mixed martial arts. (Sure, Fox did lose 1 out of 6 total fights, but that probably doesn’t make the woman who suffered seven broken orbital bones in the octagon with Fox feel any better.)
The ACLU definitely doesn’t want anyone to know that the U.S. World Cup Champion women’s soccer team lost 4-0 in a friendly match against a team of 15-year-old boys training in the farm system for a middling MLS team, FC Dallas.
All 13 states with bills pending on this subject should follow Idaho’s lead and pass them. The ACLU is already trying to pressure the NCAA to punish Idaho, so the solidarity of other states is going to be necessary to stave off the pressure for more insanity.
You cannot claim to be pro-woman and then run roughshod over female athletes. It’s important for states to get out ahead of this issue while they can and while women still have sporting events of their own.
