That we’re living in a post-truth era of politics was confirmed earlier today as every single Democrat in the House of Representatives voted against banning “biological men” (as if there’s any other kind) from competing in womens’ sports.
The House on Thursday passed legislation aimed at preventing biological males from competing as transgender athletes in girls’ and women’s sports at schools across the country, after a debate in which several Democrats accused Republicans of "bullying" transgender students by calling up the bill.
The Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act passed in a 219-203 vote Thursday morning – all the "yes" votes came from Republicans, and all the "no" votes came from Democrats.
Republicans defended the bill as an attempt to spare women and girls from having to compete against transgender women and girls – biological males who can sometimes dominate these sports and prevent some female athletes from making the team.
The irony is not lost in that the same people who voted against this are the same people who push ideologically driven nonsense about supposed “patriarchy” and “male privilege” permeating American society.
