Will the winning ever stop? As the Trump Train – in fact, less like a train, more like a killdozer – sweeps the Washington swamp clean of wokeness, the latest pin to fall is transgenderism: boys will boys and girls will be girls again.
And mediocre boys will no longer be allowed to put on some lippy and a skirt and beat the hell out of girls in girls’ sport.
Donald Trump has signed an executive order stripping federal funding from schools that allow transgender girls and women, whose sex at birth was male, to participate in female sports events in schools and colleges.
As is happening so often with Trump 2.0, the president barely has to get out his pen before the one-time enablers of wokeness are rupturing themselves with a triple backflip and a kowtow.
The move honours a key campaign promise, but even before he signed it, the National Collegiate Athletic Association indicated that it would move rapidly to change its rules ahead of the order that will affect every one of its 1,100 member schools.
Mr Trump’s latest order comes as government agencies move with lightning speed to implement his directives to roll back transgender rights, prompting a series of lawsuits unfolding by the day.
Note the typical MSM misdirection: ‘transgender rights’. There’s no such thing. There have only ever been transgender privileges – imposed at the expense of women. (Don’t expect me to use the grotesque, nonsense phrase ‘biological women’: that’s a tautology which implicitly denies the biological reality of womanhood.)
Since a flurry of Trump executive orders in his first two weeks in office, the military has paused transgender recruits and removed at least one transgender trainee from her barracks. Hospitals have cancelled surgeries and prescription refills for transgender patients, and turned away new patients for fear of losing government funding. Prisons started the process of transferring transgender inmates from women’s to men’s facilities.
Federal agencies also have been scrambling to implement a Trump order demanding they root out “gender ideology,” which has prompted at least the temporary removal of a number of government websites. The White House also cited Trump’s stance as one justification for the gutting of the U.S. Agency for International Development, saying foreign aid had funded projects including a Colombian opera and Peruvian comic book that contained transgender themes […]
Memos sent to high-level military personnel last week directed officials to pause the applications of new transgender service members, place some employees who work on gender-related projects on administrative leave and strictly limit access to gender-specific spaces along lines of biological sex.
The beneficiaries of all this are women – real women – who’ve been robbed of their rightful places in sport and exposed to unacceptable risks from predatory men in dresses. Above all, Trump is putting his foot down on the unconscionable chemical and surgical mutilation and sterilisation of vulnerable children.
Trump has said his series of executive orders are designed to restore commonsense distinctions between the sexes, protect women and girls in intimate spaces and shield minors from life-altering medical procedures. His order on transgender healthcare, issued on Jan. 28, directs federal agencies to withhold funding to institutions that provide common gender therapies, including drugs that delay the onset of puberty, to anyone under the age of 19.
“This dangerous trend will be a stain on our Nation’s history, and it must end,” Trump’s order said.
The president gave the Department of Health and Human Services 60 days to develop a plan and 90 days to publish updated guidance, but some providers were so concerned about the loss of federal funding for research, medical education and healthcare that they scaled back almost immediately. Several major hospitals have announced they aren’t taking on new patients, and cancelling routine hormone checkups and surgeries.
That other pillar of wokeness, DEI, is also toppling faster than a domino. Multiple government agencies are rushing to restore normalcy and merit.
NASA is working to comply with President Donald Trump’s crusade targeting diversity and inclusion at federal agencies, reportedly scrapping key terms from its websites related to accessibility, indigenous people, women, and other topics deemed “wasteful” by the current administration.
In a memo sent out on January 22, NASA employees were ordered to “scrub” mentions certain terms from the agency’s websites by end of day, according to 404 Media. “This is a drop everything and reprioritize your day request,” the memo read. “Note that the list below is the list that exists this morning, but it may grow as the day goes on” […]
Prior to Trump’s orders, NASA was named as one of the best employees in the US for diversity in 2023.
And how’s it worked out for them? Their flagship moon mission is years behind date, their brand new launch vehicle, also years behind date and over budget, is an embarrassing failure. Astronauts sent to the International Space Station on a two-week mission are still stuck there, eight months later. Elon Musk’s SpaceX is being tapped to come to their rescue.
The winds of change are blowing downstream from government to private enterprise, as well.
Google is eliminating its goal of hiring more employees from historically underrepresented groups and reviewing some diversity, equity and inclusion programs, joining other tech giants rethinking their approach to DEI.
So. Much. Winning.
