The Party of Women's Rights?

While 79% of Americans think trans-women (men) should not be allowed to compete in women’s sports, all 51 Senate Democrats disagree and voted unanimously to kill a bill to that effect. Democrats filibustered the Republican led Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act. The bill would have prohibited federally funded schools from allowing transgender athletes to complete in women's sports.

Meanwhile A New York Times/Ipsos poll conducted in January found broad support for the bill. They asked respondents whether “transgender female athletes — meaning athletes who were male at birth but who currently identify as female” — should be allowed to compete in women’s sports”. In response, 79% of American adults said they “should not” be allowed, while 18% said they “should be allowed.”

Some Democrats are picking up on what their constituents are laying down and speaking up. And some and some more are paying a price for standing up for women’s rights. But as long as ALL Senate Democrats ignore common sense, the rights of women, and what the people want, one can imagine they won’t be seeing the inside of the Oval Office anytime soon. This is the wrong hill to die on.
