Because basic biology is rejected by transgender activists and left-wing ideologues, they often resort to censoring dissent. Otherwise, they are forced to push inane arguments such as saying that male swimmer Lia Thomas competing against women is equivalent to Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier in Major League Baseball.

Such is the argument of Cheryl Cooky, a professor of “American studies and women’s, gender and sexuality studies.” Proving that professor is a title that should be treated with less reverence than it is, Cooky argues in her NBC opinion piece that gender-segregated sports are the same as “separate but equal” racial segregation was for schools, bathrooms, and restaurants.
