Opinion: Will Oregon and Washington now ‘ban the trans’ from girls sports?

Today’s Supreme Court ruling throws down a challenge to Oregon and Washington: will the states actually stand up and defend the rights of young women?

The majority of America's states legally protect girls and women from unfair competition against biological boys.

Oregon and Washington not only DO NOT protect female athletes, they actually protect the right of so-called “trans” athletes to best them in sports.

And we’ve seen the results … in track and field fractions of a second usually determine winners and losers.

But when biological males masquerading as girls jump on the track, they often set new records and finish dozens of seconds ahead of the real girls.

In sports like swimming and volleyball, we’ve seen girls beaten badly and in some cases even suffer serious injuries.

Today, the Supreme Court decided states CAN ban the “trans” from girls sports.

Twenty-seven states already do it.

Today, I’m sure you will hear lots of reporters bemoaning the fate of trans athletes as though they’re the real victims.

What they should be doing is demanding answers from politicians like governors and lawmakers: you stand up for girls or go politically correct to preserve your own miserable backside?
