Walter Williams is a smart man and his tome is exactly correct, but I fear Walters voice is lost in the hurricane of media misinformation and outright deception of the facts that controls natural law.
Believe it or not, males and females are different for a reason, but this is lost on the progressive socialist liberals that are demanding all laws that control our civil society must be 'transformed' to accommodate the installation of the new world order that is front and center of Mr Objma's religious jihad for national obedience and capitulation.
Why is this so hard to understand? Why is it so clear to me what Mr Ogbjma and his minions in the progressive socialist liberal collective want to do to our country? Is this all about creating chaos to gain control? It defiantly doesn't have anything to do with personal freedom and liberty like our Constitution clearly lays out for all to see?
So why do many people that appear to be intelligent and yet believe Mr Ogbjma and his followers wishes us well? Is it that these people who mindlessly follow and agree with Mr Ogbjma are actually different then those that don't believe?
Given what has transpired over the last seven and a half years that defies all common sense and logic, this is a question that has to asked. Right?
When Transgender Inclusion Moves From Bathrooms to Basketball Courts
Walter E. Williams /
North Carolina’s legislative body passed a bill mandating a statewide policy banning individuals from using public bathrooms that do not correspond to their biological sex, as opposed to their opinion of their sex. The law, the Public Facilities Privacy and Security Act, means people must use bathrooms and other public facilities where occupants can be in various stages of undress according to whether their sex chromosomes are XX, in the case of females, or XY, in the case of males.
The lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community claims that the use of biology to determine sex is oppressive and limits alternatives. I agree. I all but argued this in a column earlier this year titled “You Are What You Say You Are.” Let’s look at some possible benefits of freeing oneself from the oppression of biological determinism.
Say that I am sentenced to a five-year prison term for bank fraud. Though confinement can never be pleasant, I’d find it far more tolerable if I could convince the judge that though biologically I have XY chromosomes, in my opinion I’m really a woman and thus my confinement should be in a female prison with a female cellmate. For the court to fail to take my sexual opinion into consideration would violate our Constitution’s Eighth Amendment prohibition of cruel and unusual punishment, I could say.
The Atlantic Coast Conference, the entire NCAA, and the NBA have threatened to remove important games and championships from North Carolina because of its law denying bathroom rights to males who feel as if they are females and females who feel as if they’re males.
I am wondering just how consistent they are.
Only a few college basketball players have the skills to make it onto a professional team, but most of these players have skills that exceed most players’ skills in the Women’s National Basketball Association. What if a college basketball star were to claim to be transgender and go out for the WNBA? Would the self-righteous NBA leaders come out and support him if he were to be refused?
Aside from this gender question is the gross pay discrimination between the NBA and the WNBA.
NBA players such as LeBron James (nearly $23 million) and Carmelo Anthony (also close to $23 million) individually earn twice as much money annually than every single player in the WNBA combined. The WNBA minimum rookie salary is $37,950, and the top salary is $107,000. I bet that if the NBA and WNBA were to permit transgenderism, salaries in women’s basketball would rise dramatically.
It’s not just basketball that would yield benefits for those with XY chromosomes. What about allowing transgender XY people to box women in the Women’s International Boxing Association?
Then there are the Olympics. The men’s fastest 100-meter speed is 9.58 seconds. The women’s record is 10.49. What about giving XY people a greater chance at winning the gold by permitting them to compete in the women’s event? They could qualify by just swearing that they feel womanish or have gender dysphoria.
President Barack Obama’s defense secretary, Ashton Carter, wants to promote sex equality in the nation’s military. I don’t think he’s serious. The minimum fitness test requirement for 17- to 21-year-old males is to be able to do 35 pushups, 47 situps, and a 2-mile run in 16 minutes, 36 seconds or less. A weak male soldier might simply claim that he feels feminine. That would mean he could pass the minimum fitness requirement by meeting the female minimums of 13 pushups, 47 situps, and a 19:42 2-mile run. To boot, he would get to reside in the women’s barracks and enjoy all the privileges attendant thereto.
For most of history, homosexuals were persecuted unfairly. They pleaded, “Get out of my bedroom. What consenting adults do is no one else’s business.”
I share that sentiment, and for the most part, homosexuals have won that objective. Had their early campaign against persecution included a demand that males be permitted to use women’s bathrooms, the persecution they suffered would have continued.
