THE PATRIOT POST ALEXANDER'S COLUMN

Rising Leftist Opposition to the 'Transgender' Agenda

Democrats and Republicans who underestimate "trans" agenda opposition do so at their own peril.

Mark Alexander

"The foundation of national morality must be laid in private families." —John Adams (1778)

In case you missed it, on the culture warfront of the gender devolution revolution, the absurd has collided with the surreal — again.

USA Today, a leading Leftmedia propaganda organ of the socialist Democrat Party, is infamous for its "fact-checks" targeting conservatives for social media platform penalties. They are among the leftist MSM outlets selected by Big Tech First Amendment suppressors to give the pretense of legitimacy when silencing views that don't comport with their leftist orthodoxy.

Notably, when they have targeted The Patriot Post, we have documented that USA Today fails to fact-check its own fact-checks.

So, what from the USA Today fact-checkers now?

As the nation's self-appointed arbiters of truth, USA Today this week announced its "Women of the Year," and among the actual women, it included Assistant Secretary of Health and Human Services Rachel Levine. He is yet another man who identifies as a woman, and USA Today featured him among its list of "strong and resilient women who have been champions of change across the country, leading and inspiring as they promote and fight for equity, and give others a place to seek help and find hope."

That's right — the man whom Joe Biden chose to lead, in Levine's words, "the nation through this greatest public health crisis," the COVID pandemic, is a USA Today "woman" of the year.

Clearly, the fact-checkers at USA Today need a reality check-in from their woke alternate universe.

For Levine's part, he insists: "We need to be welcoming and celebratory for women of all aspects, of all sizes and shapes. And we have to work towards that compassion for all women and not put such an emphasis on thinness and appearance. I think that we need to work as a culture in the United States, but also globally, to be more compassionate and more accepting of girls and women, no matter what their size and shape."

That's special.

On the importance of women, "Admiral" Levine adds: "I think women are often the creators of change. In terms of the changes that we see in our society and our culture, I think that women are those change-makers."

Levine is one of two Biden administration poster children for gender dysphoria — those whom he holds up as models of normalcy.

The other is Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, who identifies as the "wife" of Chasten Buttigieg. The latter was recently busy indoctrinating children with his gender pathology at a homosexual youth camp, where he led the recitation of the pledge to the rainbow flag: "I pledge my heart to the rainbow of the not-so-typical gay camp. One camp, full of pride, indivisible, with affirmation and equal rights for all."

The latest addition to Biden's merry band of gender benders is a "non-binary drag queen," a self-described "kink activist" who is now in charge of nuclear waste disposal for the Department of Energy. (We can't make this stuff up.)

This appointment comes as Biden and sidekick Kamala Harris, the tag-team duo supervising the Russian invasion of Ukraine, are requesting $2.6 billion in taxes confiscated from U.S. citizens to promote their worldwide gender equity agenda.

The Rainbow Mafia has two primary targets this month who are gauntlets to their "transgender" agenda.

The first is Texas Governor Greg Abbott, who has issued a directive to prosecute parents who help "transition" their underage children with puberty blockers or "sex change" procedures. Anyone suggesting that such "help" is anything other than child abuse is deep in denial.

Second is Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who signed into law a Parental Rights in Education bill, which the Demos and Leftmedia are denouncing as the "Don't Say Gay Bill." In fact, what the bill does is prohibit the use of sexually deviant material being used to promote gender confusion in children, grades kindergarten to third.

The conservative pushback against absurd manifestations of the Demos' gender identity agenda, just one chapter from the leftists' identity politics playbook, is long overdue. At its core, it's an agenda designed to dismantle the foundational pillars of American Liberty — marriage, family, and faith.

That agenda is so entrenched as to allow, in some sectors, serious consideration of surreal questions like "Can men get pregnant?" and "What is a woman?"

These absurdities notwithstanding, I have written sincere considerations in response to gender disorientation pathology, which are anything but "gay." Though only 4.5% of Americans self-identified as "gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgendered," there is no such thing as "transgendered." The word itself constitutes an egregious and intentionally deceptive adulteration of science. Following the science and the obvious, there are in fact only two genders, male and female, despite protestations by heterophobic gender deniers.

Every individual, from conception to death, regardless of elective surgical alterations or personal pronouns, will irrevocably and unalterably be male or female. A gender dysphoric individual can "identify" and call himself or herself whatever he or she wants, but asking society to standardize and comport with his or her gender disorientation is absurd. The notion of so-called "gender reassignment" is equally fallacious.

Notably, given the proliferation of men competing as "women" in sports and shattering records set by women, now including even Olympic competitors, there is a growing resistance movement to gender adulteration from an unexpected quarter: leftist women.

They are objecting to what, in effect, is an assumption that anything a woman can do, a man identifying as a woman can do better.

Leading that charge is Kara Dansky, a feminist lawyer and president of the U.S. Chapter of the influential Women's Human Rights Campaign.

A lifelong leftist Democrat, Dansky declares: "My party has been pushing this gender identity agenda in law and throughout the society, and it's terrible for women and girls. The obliteration of the material reality of biological sex should scare everyone. ... Every single person is either female or male, there's nothing wrong with saying that ... How many women and girls have to be hurt before our society ... and our lawmakers and laws acknowledge that? The movement to promote the idea that men can be women is fundamentally anti-feminist, it is anti-woman and it is very politically regressive. ... I know at least two women who voted for Donald Trump last year because of this issue."

Dansky, the author of The Abolition of Sex: How the "Transgender" Agenda Harms Women and Girlswrites: "It is not an exaggeration to say that the United States is in crisis about the meanings of the words sex and gender. We are all victims of this crisis, but the primary victims are women and girls. Throughout U.S. law, the word sex is being completely redefined to mean 'gender identity' or 'transgender.' Congress is doing it. The Biden administration is doing it. The federal courts are doing it. Most Americans have no comprehension of the implications of this, due to no fault of their own. Very few media outlets will permit us to talk about it. Yet feminists have been talking about it for a long time."

She concludes: "Feminists have a saying: We cannot protect women and girls on the basis of sex if we cannot say what sex is. My hope is that lawmakers across the political aisle will get a grip and right the wrongs that have been perpetrated in the name of 'gender identity.' Every single human being is either female or male. No one 'is transgender.' It's long past time that lawmakers across the political aisle and members of corporate media said so."

She and some other high-profile individuals are finally emerging to confront the Demos' "gender identity" orthodoxy. And the leftist homosexual mob is fighting back, attempting to cancel them.

World-renowned Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling has boldly and repeatedly insisted that there are two genders — "If sex isn't real, the lived reality of women globally is erased." That led to her being labeled a "TERF," a "trans exclusionary radical feminist."

Right.

The mob is targeting leftist comedian Dave Chappelle for daring to declare there are two genders.

Students are being suspended if they suggest there are only two genders. And even conservative media outlets are self-censoring their reporting to avoid advertiser boycotts.

Finally, in Biden's recent State of the Union confab, he declared: "For our LGBTQ+ Americans, let's finally get the bipartisan Equality Act to my desk. ... As I said last year, especially to our younger transgender Americans, I will always have your back as your president."

Biden's so-called "Equality Act" is the bastard child of his White House Gender Policy Council. It's a pandering legislative effort aimed at firming up votes — particularly the votes of women who sympathize with the "gay" agenda.

The rising opposition suggests that Biden and his fellow leftists have overplayed their gender card.

And Republicans who underestimate the powerful constituent sentiments opposing the "trans" agenda do so at their own peril.

A few weeks ago, Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds signed legislation barring men from participating in women's sports, becoming the 11th state to do so. Of course, such legislation is framed as "anti-trans" rather than pro-woman. Previously, two Republican governors, Arkansas's Asa Hutchison and South Dakota's Kristi Noem, found out the hard way that hedging on this issue will cost them.
