The Dems irrational support of trans in women's' sports

A Capitol Hill hearing descended into disarray Wednesday as Rep. Melanie Stansbury, a Democrat from New Mexico, clashed with Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency (DOGE) Chairwoman Marjorie Taylor Greene. The session, provocatively titled “Unfair Play: Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports,” aimed to scrutinize USA Fencing’s gender eligibility rules. Yet, it quickly became a stage for Democratic grandstanding, with Stansbury seizing the spotlight to champion transgender rights, much to the chagrin of Greene, who wielded her gavel like a metronome to restore order.

The hearing featured witnesses like fencer Stephanie Turner, USA Fencing Board Chair Damien Lehfeldt, and former high school volleyball player Payton McNabb. Each brought perspectives on the contentious issue of biological males competing in women’s sports. Stansbury, however, used her allotted time to press National Women’s Law Center CEO Fatima Goss Graves on the exclusion of transgender athletes. Her fervor outlasted her time limit, prompting Greene to interject sharply, “The gentlelady’s time is expired.”

Undeterred, Stansbury persisted, accusing Greene of speaking “for over a minute” herself. The exchange escalated as Greene fired back, “You took a minute of my time wasting my time on a non point of order. The gentlelady’s time is expired. I now recognize — ” Stansbury, unmoved, doubled down, declaring, “You’re time was not wasted and to the trans community, we stand with you, with the LGBTQ plus community, we stand with you.” Her defiance drowned out Greene’s gavel, which pounded repeatedly as Stansbury’s words rang through the chamber.

Greene’s frustration was palpable as she called for order, stating, “This hearing will come to order. I now recognize Miss McClain from Michigan.” The move to Republican Rep. Lisa McClain signaled an attempt to steer the hearing back to its purpose, but the episode laid bare a deeper Democratic tendency to prioritize performative activism over procedural discipline. Stansbury’s outburst was less about engaging with the issue and more about signaling allegiance to a cause, a tactic that often overshadows substantive debate.

If someone wants to pretend to be a different gender, that is evidence of gender dysphoria.  That is their problem, and they should not be allowed to make the rest of the world go along with their dysphoria.  I refuse to pretend that someone is something that biology says they are not.  Women's sports should not have to deal with men who pretend to be women.
