Representante Joe Kennedy: No hay competiciones deportivas para mujeres o niñas, solo para ‘seres humanos’1

El representante Joe Kennedy condenó las ligas deportivas solo para mujeres y niñas y dijo que las competiciones deportivas deben ser para todos los «seres humanos».

Kennedy, quien preside el grupo de trabajo sobre la igualdad de los transexuales de los demócratas, desestimó los deportes femeninos cuando Breitbart le preguntó durante una breve entrevista en el Capitolio qué diría a las mujeres y niñas que pierden las competencias deportivas a los hombres y niños “transgénero” que dicen que son mujeres .Breitbart TV

“Los seres humanos son seres humanos, hombre, eso es exactamente lo que diría”, dijo el 9 de abril, y dijo: “Los seres humanos tienen el 100% de derecho a competir con cualquier deporte con el que quieran competir. Los seres humanos son seres humanos … Ese es tu problema.

El despido de Kennedy de los deportes femeninos se produjo cuando los demócratas continuaron denunciando la política del presidente Trump de restaurar las distinciones legales basadas en la biología entre hombres y mujeres.

El viernes, por ejemplo, el Pentágono puso fin formalmente a la polémica política del ex presidente Barack Obama de clasificar a los hombres como mujeres si dicen que son mujeres. En cambio, el Pentágono de Trump ha reescrito las regulaciones de Obama para reconocer que la biología es la » línea brillante » entre los miembros del servicio femenino y masculino. La confianza de Trump en la biología, no en la idea de «identidad de género», permite a sus diputados preservar las instituciones y los derechos de las mujeres y las niñas.

El despido de Kennedy por los deportes refleja su papel como presidente del grupo de trabajo transgénero, que está impulsando la afirmación progresiva de que los hombres y las mujeres son intercambiables y deben ser tratados por el gobierno y los estadounidenses como miembros de cualquier sexo o grupo sexual que prefieran. En la práctica, esta ideología permitiría a los hombres, que tienden a ser más grandes, más fuertes y más rápidos, ingresar y utilizar cualquier institución deportiva creada para mujeres.

En contraste, los conservadores y los votantes dicen que hombres y mujeres son legalmente iguales, pero también son complementarios y diferentes. El gobierno debería apoyar a las instituciones cívicas y culturales que los estadounidenses evolucionaron para ayudar a los dos sexos a competir y cooperar en la igualdad de condiciones, especialmente cuando se crea la próxima generación de estadounidenses, dicen los conservadores.

The progressives’ effort to blur distinctions between the two sexes is allowing a growing number of men to compete against women in sports, including weightlifting, cycling, running, soccer, and fighting. This blurring is allowing men to literally beat women, to exclude women from competitions, to win prizes from women, and to break records earned by women amid growing political and media intimidation of women by progressives and by the men who say they are “transgender.”

“They bully women while claiming to be victims of bullying,” said Beth Stelzer, founder of Save Women’s Sports. “Women are afraid if we speak up we will lose our sponsorships, opportunities, relationships, and even our jobs,” she said at an April event organized by the Heritage Foundation. If men are allowed to compete in women’s’ sports, “there will be no longer women’s sports,” she said.

The transgender ideology will erase opportunities for women and girls in sports, and may try to redefine strong girls as masculine and therefore as men, said Jennifer Bryson, founder of Let All Play. “I do not want to see girls who are playing soccer who are tough face pressure to adopt gender ideology and say they are boys,” she said at the Heritage event.

Polls show the transgender ideology is deeply unpopular, especially among women and parents.

In 2017, Obama told National Public Radio (NPR) that his promotion of the transgender ideology made it easier for Trump to win the presidency. Multiple polls show that most Americans wish to help and comfort people who think they are members of the opposite sex, even as they also reject the transgender ideology’s claim that a person’s legal sex is determined by his feeling of “gender identity,” not by biology. A U.K. survey shows a similar mix of some sympathy for people with lopsided opposition to the ideology.

The transgender movement is diverse, so its different factions have different goals and priorities. It includes sexual liberationists, as well as progressives, plus feminists who wish to blur distinctions between the two sexes, and people who glamorize the distinctions between the two sexes. It includes high-profile children, people who are trying to live as members of the opposite sex, people trying to detransition back to their sex, men who demand sex from lesbians, masculine autogynephiles who say they are entitled to women’s rights, wealthy donors, politicians, political professionals, and revenue-seeking drug companies and medical service providers.

Transgender advocates claim that two million Americans say they are transgender to a greater or lesser extent. But very few people who describe themselves as transgender undergo cosmetic surgery of the genitals. Only about 4,118 Americans surgically altered their bodies in hospitals from 2000 to 2014 to appear like members of the opposite sex, according to a pro-transgender medical study.

Yet the gender ideology is rapidly gaining power, aided by huge donations from wealthy individuals and medical companies. In February, for example, an Ohio judge forced parents of a teenage girl to give up custody so she could begin a lifetime of drug treatments and surgery that would allow her to appear as a male.

The progressive push to bend Americans’ attitudes and their male-and-female civic society around the idea of “gender identity” has already attacked and cracked many of the popular social rules that help Americans manage the cooperation and competition among and between complementary, different, and equal men and women.

These pro-gender claims have an impact on different-sex bathrooms, shelters for battered women, sports leagues for girls, hiking groups for boys, K–12 curricula, university speech codes, religious freedoms, free speech, the social status of women, parents’ rights in child-rearing, children’s safety, practices to help teenagers, health outcomes, women’s ideals of beauty, culture and society, scientific research, prison safety, civic ceremonies, school rules, men’s sense of masculinity, law enforcement, military culture, and children’s sexual privacy.
