Two days ago I posted a note that explained that the US DOJ is planning on suing the state of Tennessee to overturn its new law that protects minors from certain medical procedures and treatments generally known as “gender affirming care”. In its suit the DOJ states these “facts”:
”FACTUAL ALLEGATIONS
19. Gender identity refers to a person’s core sense of belonging to a particular gender, such as male or female. Every person has a gender identity.
20. Transgender people are people whose gender identity does not align with the sex they were assigned at birth.
21. The American Psychiatric Association has stated “[b]eing transgender or gender diverse implies no impairment in judgment, stability, reliability, or general social or vocational capabilities”
Just to be clear, the DOJ asserts that: “gender identity” is a “sense” much like seeing, hearing or smelling; that gender is “assigned” at birth; and that if a 5 year old boy decides that he really is a 5 year old girl there is nothing wrong with his judgement or “social capability”. In other words, God’s creation is false, biology is irrelevant and gender is a matter of opinion — even among children who may or may not be able to read, write or tie their own shoes.
Let there be no doubt that the Biden Administration is using the United States Department of Justice to bully the people of Tennessee into accepting a position that they have legally rejected. The people of Tennessee, through their elected officials according to their own Constitution and the Constitution of the United States took legal action to protect their minor children from dangerous medical treatments. In response, Joe Biden and his administration is pandering to its LGBTQ+ base and taking action to overturn the will of the people of Tennessee.
This use of federal power to attain a political, social or ideological goal against the will of the people is by definition, an act of domestic terrorism. Further, this administration is pursuing this action based on three lies which it asserts are “facts”. Rather than use the heading “Factual Allegations” it would be more accurate if that section was called “Factual Assertions”. Remember, that when the nation began to become aware of the extent of the intrusion of transgender ideology into our lives, our culture and our government it was revealed that Vanderbilt University in Nashville had been profiting hugely from conducting “gender affirming surgeries” on children. The people of Tennessee had cause for their action.
There is one other point to be made. If the DOJ prevails in their argument that minors are being denied their alleged 14th Amendment right to equal treatment under the law it will further advance the notion that children belong to state and that their parents have no say in how they will raise them. Both conditions cannot simultaneously exist. The federal government and parents are not partners in the raising of children. On this God has been clear and so are our laws.
If nothing else the transgender community is rich in venomous rhetoric. Brittany Griner a Women’s National Basketball Association star was made “important” because she was the first openly lesbian woman in the NBA and because she is taller than virtually every other player in the league and is also a very gifted athlete.
Off the court, Griner is known for political activism and for breaking Russia’s drug laws which she knew about when she entered the country with an illegal substance. This led to her arrest, trial, conviction, and imprisonment in Russia but the intervention of the Biden administration secured her release in exchange for a well known arms dealer who was being held in a federal prison in the U.S.
Griner most recently, has taken up the cause of the transgender community. In a recent interview Bill Rhoden of ESPN asked Griner:
”And I was wondering, again, I’d hate to put one more thing on your plate, but in terms of on your radar, where is that?” he asked. “You’re gonna have a tremendous platform, but where is that going to be on your radar in terms of advocating for athletes, all transgender athletes being able to play?”
Griner: “I mean, that ranks high on the list of things that I’ll be fighting for and speaking up against, you know, everyone has, everyone deserves the right to play, everyone deserves the right to come here, sit in these seats and feel safe and not feel like there’s a threat or they can’t be who they are or, um, like it’s just all eyes on them.”
“So, I think it’s a crime, honestly, too, to separate someone for any reason,” Griner claimed. “So, I definitely will be speaking up against those, that legislation, and those laws that are trying to be passed for sure.”
In short, Griner believes that denying men the ability to play in women’s athletic competitions should lead to criminal chargers. Explain that to your daughters.
Not to be out done, Dylan Mulvaney, has also called for the arrest of any person who calls him a man or refuses to use his preferred pronouns. I will let you know if the police come knocking on my door. In my defense I will argue that Mulvaney is interfering with my First Amendment right to the freely exercise my religion and during discovery I will demand that the results of a physical examination including DNA analysis be provided forthwith.
This is very simple. Both Griner who claims to be fighting against “gender bullies” and Mulvaney a trained actor are using their notoriety to bully people into accepting the position that men can be women and women, men; a position which demands the rejection of God.
Griner and Mulvaney have the right to say and do what ever nonsensical thing they wish to say or do BUT they are not allowed to force anyone to believe as they believe or to use our legal system as the cudgel of their authority to do so. To do so is to use force to further their ideological goals. In other words, both Griner and Mulvaney are committing acts of domestic terrorism.
