Transitioning out of trans madness.

The U.S. Supreme Court is currently hearing a case on the constitutionality of states making laws prohibiting transgender women and girls (aka biological men and boys) from competing on women and girls' athletic teams. If this past week's oral arguments are any indication, SCOTUS is primed to allow such laws to stand. 

Perhaps one of the most damning exchanges occurred when Kathleen Hartnett, attorney for one of the challengers of these laws, couldn't coherently define a woman when pressed by Justice Samuel Alito.

Justice Alito continued with even more pointed questions. 

 

Justice Samuel Alito: “Suppose this school has a boy’s track team and a girl’s track team… A male student… that has never taken puberty blockers, never taken female hormones, never had any gender-altering or affirming surgeries, says never the less, ‘I am a woman.

Conservative commentator Erick Erickson put forth a theory that, despite fighting vehemently for "trans rights" for about a decade now, elected Dems may actually be pining for a way out of this madness. 

 

Right now, Republicans are on their knees praying fervently that the Supreme Court saves Trump and the GOP from tariffs by throwing them out. Increasingly, Democrats are burning sage and taking psychedelics to channel their inner chakra and focus it on the karma of the Supreme Court, hoping the Court says boys can be banned from girls’ sports.

Both sides want the Court to save them from themselves. With the GOP, Trump is fleeting and will be gone in three years. The problem for Democrats, in addition to the Electoral College and census (particularly if deportations continue), is that Trump will go. But the Democrats are stuck with the progressive donors and trans-advocates.1

So they better be able to answer if a man can get pregnant with a straight face.

Well......they're not off to a good start.

Kinda hard to gracefully exit this movement when a good number of high profile progressives have referred to transgender rights as "the civil rights issue of our time."
