Senate Committee to Consider Bill to Protect Fairness in Women’s Sports in Arkansas

On Monday afternoon the Senate Education Committee will consider S.B. 354 by Sen. Missy Irvin (R – Mountain View) and Rep. Sonia Barker (R – Smackover).

This good bill would prevent boys from competing against girls in female athletics in Arkansas.

In recent years we’ve seen biological males participate unfairly in women’s sports.

In 2019 a biological male who claims to be female won the female Cycling World Championship.

In other cases biological males have dominated at girls’ track and field.

S.B. 354 would prevent biological males who claim to be girls from competing in girls’ sports at school in Arkansas.

Letting males compete in girls’ sports destroys girls’ athletic programs. It hampers girls’ abilities to qualify for athletic scholarships, and it hurts their professional opportunities.

S.B. 354 would protect fairness in women’s sports at school and prevent these sorts of problems from happening in Arkansas.

President Biden Signs Executive Order Redefining “Sex” in Federal Law

Jan 22, 2021Jerry CoxCurrent Events, LGBTLGBT

On Wednesday night President Joe Biden signed an executive order instructing all federal agencies to interpret the word federal “sex” in anti-discrimination laws to include sexual-orientation and gender-identity.

This tracks with promises President Biden made during the presidential campaign to reinstate many of the pro-LGBT rules and guidelines that the Obama Administration rolled out prior to 2017.

The new executive order instructs all state agencies to evaluate and amend or rescind any rules or regulations that conflict with the Biden Administration’s redefinition of “sex.”

If left unchecked by congress and the states, this could result in federal agencies like the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, OSHA, and the Department of Justice rolling out new policies that affect businesses and force pro-LGBT policies on ordinary Americans.

Trust the Experts? Harvard Says Men Can Have Babies

Recently, Harvard Medical School hosted a panel discussion on Maternal Health. The topic was why women of color are statistically three times more likely to die during pregnancy or childbirth than white moms.

Throughout this event, talking about pregnancy and childbirth, every one of the panelists refused to use the word “woman.” On Twitter, the event was described as confronting problems faced by “pregnant and birthing people.” After wide backlash, they tweeted again: “Our panelists used this language because not all who give birth identify as women.”

The real tragedy here is that healthcare disparity for moms of color is a real problem. But if medical health experts refuse to acknowledge that the term woman refers to something that exists in reality, and that medical science itself depends on these biological realities, how can we expect them to solve an issue as complicated as ethnic health disparities?
