Democrats are running away from their old support for letting boys play in girls’ sports. They used to say it was about fairness and rights. Now leaders like Senator Elissa Slotkin say it’s up to local schools to decide. This flip-flop shows they know most Americans disagree with them.
Gavin Newsom, the Democrat governor of California, shocked his party by saying it’s “deeply unfair” for males to compete against females. Even though he’s a liberal, Newsom admitted what parents see every day – biological differences matter. His honesty exposes the radical side of his own party.
A new Senate bill to protect women’s sports failed because every Democrat voted against it. They called it a “distraction” and “cruel.” But polls show nearly 80% of Americans – including most Democrats – want girls’ sports saved from unfair competition. Democrats are ignoring regular people to please activists.
Senator Andy Kim of New Jersey says local communities should handle the issue. That’s the same excuse Democrats used after losing on abortion. Letting states decide led to strict limits on abortion. Now they’re setting up transgender athletes for the same treatment in red states.
President Trump signed an order banning men from women’s sports on day one. Republicans tried to pass a national law, but Democrats blocked it. They claim “transphobia” but can’t explain why they oppose simple fairness. Their radical gender policies are too extreme for Middle America.
Sports are about talent and hard work – not feelings. When boys break girls’ records, it destroys opportunities for female athletes. Democrats used to fight for women’s rights. Now they’re throwing girls under the bus to push a woke agenda most families reject.
This isn’t complicated. Girls deserve a level playing field. Parents don’t want their daughters undressed by strangers to “prove” their gender. Democrats calling these concerns “hate” shows how out-of-touch they’ve become. Common sense is winning, and liberals are scrambling.
The 2026 elections will be a reckoning. Voters see Democrats putting ideology above children’s safety. Republicans stand with families who want fairness. If Democrats keep ignoring science, they’ll keep losing the trust of working-class Americans.
