Fight Gender Ideology, and You Go to War
American Thinker ^ | 30 Jan, 2025 | Carole Hornsby Haynes

Does Trump know what he’s getting himself into? He’d better if he hopes to win.

Keeping a promise he made after winning the 2024 presidential election to end transgender ideology in public education, Trump signed an executive order on Monday after the inaugural ceremony. The order rescinded all U.S. Department of Education guidance documents related to gender ideology, including a toolkit for creating “inclusive and nondiscriminatory schools environments for LGBTQI+ students”; guides for supporting transgender students; a back-to-school message for transgender youth from the U.S. Departments of Justice, Education, and Health and Human Services; and a tip sheet for “2024 Title IX Regulations: Pointers for Implementation.”

This last document is a reference to court decisions that allow males access to the dressing rooms of females under the guise of ending “discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.” This has not ended well for advocates. Parents on both sides of the political and racial spectrums are outraged over naked males sharing dressing rooms with their daughters. Their anger has erupted in shouting matches at school board meetings, with parental rights being pitted against the education bureaucracy. Not surprisingly, many parents have removed their children from public schools.

Trump’s order states that the policy of the United States is to recognize two sexes: male and female. The order notes that “sex” refers to a person’s “biological classification as either male or female” and is not a synonym for the concept of “gender identity.” Only the term “sex,” and not “gender,” can be used on federal policies and documents.

No federal funding is allowed for the promotion of gender ideology, including funding for grants.

Trump’s ban has triggered a meltdown from liberals, proclaiming the end of “our democracy” (we have a constitutional republic, not a democracy).

Trump simply said what everyone has been thinking. Gender theory is madness and it’s got to stop.

Fight Marxism and the true believers go to war with you. It’s pretty much the same thing.

I have a wild theory.

We've haven't heard anything from Trump in the last five days about Russia, Putin, or Ukraine.

I think he called Putin and said, "Take the damn thing."

When did mental illness and delusions become constitutionally protected rights?

This isn't a " slippery slope">p> we as a society need fences.

The 10 commandments aren't a " slippery slow" they are a fence. You can go to here,

God isnt asking or going to move the fence.

It's mankind who wrote the other 600+ Jewish laws.

Just as the aclu wants to keep pushing boundaries until no one remembers what the original law or boundary was...

trans, gays , child molesters are all an Abomination. That's the fence. Stay on the right side or stay in the closet.

Trump isnt in any more trouble over this issue then he draws by his very existence. Gender weirdos don’t mean anymore to the demon party than gays or blacks or illegal immigrants ever did. The battles they rage ostensibly for those causes is and has always been a battle against America and her freedom and Law. Trump, since 2015, has been in their eyes a target for the vast unforgivable evil of attacking their god…GOVERNMENT which they believe they morally own. As many have said it’s a no brainer that the demons will get violent . That is who they are. Just listen to AOC lately. She outlined the violence that is coming. The gun is all these monsters have left and they’ll use it; against us when they are in office (as they have done) or against what they consider to be an illegitimate usurper government.

It’s not “war” until some leftist loon breeches the peace.

When and where they do, immediately eliminate the threat. See the IDF Playbook in Gaza.

As most leftists feel and don’t think, their learning curve is abnormally gradual.

It may take more Kenosha Hat Tricks than one would reasonably expect, but the left will either abandon their “war,” or go extinct.

Long past time to reopen the mental hospitals closed in the 1970s. Mass murder and public sexual perversion really took off like a rocket when closed.
So many criminals arrested today have mental issues dating back to those days of the 1970s.

Most people know the science... the leftists and the radicals are retarded for trying to turn scientific fact into unreasonable mental turmoil. It’s absurd.

Along with “equity”, this is the hill the Education/commie/government complex will die on.

Buck up. They will pull out all the stops.

I don’t really care which hill they die on as long as they die.

Trump’s order states that the policy of the United States is to recognize two sexes: male and female. The order notes that “sex” refers to a person’s “biological classification as either male or female” and is not a synonym for the concept of “gender identity.” Only the term “sex,” and not “gender,” can be used on federal policies and documents.

This is so important. One of the reasons we are in this mess is Gorsuch's blurring of these terms, as if they are truly interchangeable, in his execrable 2019 decision in Bostock which, in turn, enabled Joe Biden to trash females' safety and promote decadence in our schools and workplaces. His majority opinion equated transgenderism with sex, and made transgenderism subject to protection under Title VII:

Because discrimination on the basis of homosexuality or transgender status requires an employer to intentionally treat individual employees differently because of their sex, an employer who intentionally penalizes an employee for being homosexual or transgender also violates Title VII.
So my question is, will Trump's order be able to stand SCOTUS review when the inevitable pro-trans lawsuits work their way up? I hope they come soon, while there is still a thin conservative majority.
