Under the Biden-Harris administration, so-called trans rights have been sanctified, becoming a holy mission for the mainstream left. Last year, Biden claimed on Transgender Day of Visibility that ‘transgender Americans shape our nation’s soul’. In the same speech, Biden claimed there is an ‘epidemic of violence against transgender women and girls’, although all the evidence would suggest it is actual women and girls who are being put most at risk from his trans-rights crusade, as sex-based rights are corroded and women’s spaces are thrown open to any man who claims to be a woman.
As Biden now prepares to shuffle off the global political stage, it’s worth looking at the damage he has done while waving the insipid baby blue, white and blush-pink tricolour trans flag. The president’s position was clear from the outset. On his first day in office, he blithely signed away women’s rights when he nodded through an executive order, entitled ‘Preventing and Combating Discrimination on the Basis of Gender Identity or Sexual Orientation’. By treating discrimination on the basis of ‘gender identity’ as equivalent to sex discrimination, the order effectively removed the sex-based rights of the nearly 900,000 women who work in the federal government, and more who rely on statutory services. A year later, his administration proposed similar changes to Title IX. Title IX was established to defend women’s rights in education. But the updated version instead obliterates single-sex bathrooms, sports and locker rooms in federally funded schools.
The ramifications for women at the sharp end of Biden’s trans-inclusive policies have been obscene. As Reduxx magazine has consistently reported, the most dangerous and predatory male prisoners are now routinely locked up with women inmates who are then penalised if they complain.
Many of Biden’s actions that have been heralded as great steps for ‘trans rights’ have been downright chilling. His appointment of trans activist Rachel Levine first as assistant secretary for health, and then as an admiral and head of the US Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, has allowed the dangerous fiction of the ‘transgender child’ to be embedded into medical protocols across the US.
In essence, the Democratic Party has sacrificed women’s rights and children’s safety at the altar of gender ideology, providing Republicans with an open goal.
Joe Biden was America’s first trans activist commander-in-chief. Here’s hoping he’ll be the last.
