Who could forget that iconic picture of Donald Trump sitting at the desk, ready to sign his Executive Order to restore Title IX safeguards for our female athletes, with all the young girls crowded closely around? It was one of the most real, heart-warming scenes of his second presidency so far. But the impact of the EO is worth examining. Our society, during the Biden administration, welcomed the transgendered population with open arms, including transgender athletes, allowing men to participate in women's sports, to use women's locker rooms, to transfer from men's prisons to women's, all if they just say they identify as a woman. Several questions have not really been answered in the public forum, but we'll seek to address them here. How big is the transgender community, and how many transgender athletes does Title IX affect? What are some problems caused by transgender men and transgender athletes?
First, the adult transgender community is approximately 0.5%, or about 1.3 million people. Among adolescents the number is somewhat higher, at 1.6%, or about 4 million, due mainly to the WOKE and Diversity agendas incorporated into our school curriculums, rather than English, Math, or History that used to be taught. Athletes, of course, are a considerably smaller subset of this. We don't have statistics on adolescent transgender athletes, but we do know, according to Charlie Baker, President of the NCAA, that the number of transgender athletes is fewer than 10 out of over 500,000 NCAA student athletes. So, the Biden Administration decided to cater to a handful of student athletes at the expense of several hundred thousand female athletes.
It needs to be noted here that there is little to no dispute that there are significant physical differences between males and females. Men are biologically stronger, larger, and have significant advantage over their female counterparts. For example, Lia Thomas, a transgender swimmer competing in the NCAA first as a male, was ranked 66th. After declaring his identity as female and switching to women's sports, Lia shattered women's record after record, proving the physical differences are very real. Males that can "transgender" to female while remaining completely 100% biologically male is just wrong.
Second, allowing anyone who identified as female, (because the issues don't seem to be females identifying as males), access to all the female facilities, despite the fact that they are 100% biological males allows those who may be sexual deviants a platform to prey on young women. Now before you get all upset at that comment, there are a number of recorded cases of just such occurrences. In one, a 6'1" male identifying as a female tried out for the swim team, and after practice was reported to be watching the naked girls shower and dress while he masturbated. More recently, in September 2024, in the Commonwealth of Virginia, a girl's swim club went into the locker room after class, to find a naked man standing in the middle of the floor watching all the young girls change, many with their mothers' present! The police were called, but the perpetrator wasn't apprehended until December, then in court in February 2025. Clearly, if you find women stimulating it should question your commitment to your transgender identity, versus your desire to sate your sexual perversions.
As for male prisoners, they have discovered that "identifying" as female can result in a transfer to a women's prison. Since this "transgender boom" over these past few years female pregnancies are up 35% among female prisoners. According to one prison official pregnancies are up from two instances a month to over twenty per month, mainly due to the influx of transgender inmates. Costs to care for pregnant inmates, or to cover abortion if desired by inmates, far exceeds the costs for regular inmates.
So, here's my dilemma: Why are so many progressive lawmakers so willing to sacrifice the rights of the vast majority to sate the desires of the so very, very few? What is the purpose of living in a Constitutional Federal Republic with a democratic system of government, where the will of the majority supposedly rules, yet a good number of our elected officials continue to try to force the will of the few on the rights of the majority? Clearly those elected are not following the will of the majority of their constituents, rather choosing the "squeaky wheel" over the welfare of the many. It is time that the silent majority, the everyday people- our friends, and neighbors, stand up for what is right. We may differ in our opinions politically, religiously, or other ways, but we all live in the same neighborhood, attend the same churches, shop the same grocery stores, go to the same dentists or doctors- and we tend to get along well with each other despite our differences. If our government wasn't so divisive much of the animosity would disappear from our nation. Our nation is so polarized, so divided, and it starts with all the divisiveness of our elected officials, and their inability to work together...
Food for thought...
