All House Democrats except one signed onto a bill that would force public schools to allow biological males to join all-female sports teams, claiming — incredibly — that physically, there’s no difference between biological boys and girls.
The Equality Act, which has zero chance of passing but is highly illustrative for political purposes, broadly amends civil rights legislation to ban discrimination against LGBTQ Americans in employment, housing, public accommodations, jury service, education, federal programs, and credit, NBC News reported. The bill’s specific language prohibits discrimination based on peoples’ “sexual orientation and gender identity.”
Okay. Got it.
However, some of the bill’s co-sponsors and supporters see it as a way to allow Democrats to destroy gender-specific sports by requiring that transgender athletes in public schools be permitted to compete on teams that match their claimed sexual identities.
One of the party’s lead crazies, Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) the House Judiciary Committee chair, had this to say about the Equality Act:
Many states have sexual orientation and gender identity nondiscrimination laws, and all of them still have women’s sports. Arguments about transgender athletes participating in sports in accordance with their gender identity having competitive advantages have not been borne out.
