Left-wing Lunacy

A hearing this week in the House of Representatives went off the rails because of the absurd antics of left-wing Democrats. The issue being debated was one that the overwhelming majority of Americans, including Democrats, agree on: Men should not be in women’s sports.

But so-called “progressives” in Congress continue to make this insane argument that keeping men out of women’s sports is like keeping black people out of white country clubs or certain schools and businesses. 

There is a legal term for that – invidious discrimination, where the only motivation is obvious bigotry. If an all-white NBA basketball team was turning down black athletes, they would be guilty of invidious discrimination. There’s no logic to it. 

But if someone sued an NBA team because they did not have a player in a wheelchair and claimed the team was discriminating against individuals with disabilities, people would say, “That’s crazy! That’s a distinction based on reality.” People in wheelchairs don’t make good NBA players.

When you tell a man who is physically larger and stronger that he can’t play in women’s sports, that has zero resemblance to racial discrimination. That’s recognition of reality. 

If a woman in the WNBA, where the average age is 27, went back to high school to get her diploma and demanded to play on the high school girls’ team, that would not be allowed. 

She cannot claim to be a teenager just because she’s in high school any more than a man can be a woman just because he’s in a dress. It’s just insane! 

But so, too, are today’s progressive politicians, who have lost all touch with reality.
