NOTABLE QUOTES

Norman Rogers contributor to American Thinker: Actively working to subvert democracy is a stunning rejection of everything that is American.  The leftists are the real illegal aliens, not the opportunists pouring across the southern border.

Joseph Klein contributor to Frontpage Magazine:  . . . the self-proclaimed unifier delivered an angry, divisive January 6 anniversary speech, falsely accusing former President Donald Trump and his supporters of placing “a dagger at the throat of American democracy” by questioning his legitimacy. Evidently, in Biden’s version of the Constitution, the right to protest is reserved for Antifa and Black Lives Matter, but not for Americans. The only dagger at the throat of democracy is Biden’s renewed effort to take over and rig national elections under the false flag of voting rights and manufactured emergency because polls show there is no other conceivable way he could win the 2024 presidential election.

Pedro Gonzales associate editor at Chronicles and contributor to Newsweek: If Americans are losing faith in democracy and its federal protectors, it is because rather than govern well and conduct themselves admirably, the managers of the established political order have declared war on half the country or dismissed its concerns as illegitimate. Rather than attempt a correction, a myth has been fabricated—a day of infamy that has to be magnified in importance by twisting and contorting facts into a gun pointed at the heads of millions of Americans.

Candace Cameron Bure actress and conservative tweeted: The idea that the biggest threat to democracy comes from the right is nothing more than projection. With all the institutional power in the world, leftism consistently seeks to limit free speech, religious liberty, the right to self-defense, medical freedom, & so much more. Take a gander at the world right now and see where people’s rights to work, travel, and move freely are being trampled on. See where parental rights & the rights to free speech & worship are being constrained. Are these right-wing nations? No. They are “progressive.”

J.B. Shurk contributor to American Thinker identifies the four horsemen of the global elite – COVID, racial violence, communist inflation and climate change doomsayers: In essence, Big Government oligarchs have unleashed their own “four horsemen of the apocalypse” as a last-ditch attempt to strangle to death the rise of unprecedented individual freedom and personal power.  Take a moment to ponder our reality.  Technology has opened up the door for the flourishing of human liberty.  Old Guard political and economic actors stand to lose everything.  And whereas the growing capacity for self-government and individual sovereignty is naturally coming to fruition, globalists and collectivists are artificially doing everything they can to stop what cannot be stopped. Why is tyranny exploding across the planet?  Because everything necessary for a freedom renaissance is here.  So buckle up!

Jeffrey Barrett contributor to American Thinker: Simply put the vaccine programs are really population control programs, because by pushing vaccines the elites are pushing vaccine passports which are the first step to creating digital ID numbers on a software platform where every subject’s personal information will eventually end up.  Control of information means control of the subjects. The real-life model for this is the Chinese social credit system.

Jason Hill contributor to American Greatness: Gender eugenics is the ideology that seeks to resocialize the moral sensibilities of Americans toward a view of understanding gender and biological sex as social constructs. Gender and biological sex, according to this ideology, are to be viewed as phenomena artificially identified in a nefarious biological taxonomy replete with dubious criteria that attempt to designate sex. The taxonomy itself is biased and suffused with gendered interpretations. Americans, the ideology maintains, must learn to reorient themselves to understanding that both gender and biological sex are “strategic fictions” created by a white, hetero-normative patriarchal culture. They must see gender and sex identity as naturally existing on a continuum. The attempts by parents to force their children to identity with one of the two binary sex categories of male/female are seen as a form of child abuse because binary identification is regarded as unnatural. Gender eugenics mainstreams institutional cheating and lying because it convinces persons that biological sex is malleable and mutable when it most emphatically is not. 

Sundance contributor to Conservative Treehouse: Before Donald Trump stepped into the political arena, the same institutions and agencies who attack him now were successfully able to manipulate public perceptions.  It was all a grand pantomime, a ruse, a Potemkin village filled with jesters, distractions and carefully coordinated illusions of false choice.

Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) in a Jan 5 press conference: The Chinese Communist Party steals America’s technology and is a threat to the semiconductor supply chain.  I am investing funds to increase microchip and semiconductor manufacturing in Florida so that the CCP cannot hold our supply chain hostage.

Matthew Vadum  award winning investigative reporter, author and contributor to Frontpage Magazine: How the Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum, with its invocation of witch doctors and Aztec gods like Xipe Totec, who wears suits made of flayed human skin, will enlighten California schoolchildren has never been explained. Maybe enlightenment isn’t the goal.

Daniel Greenfield contributor to Frontpage Magazine:  Every single Chicago teacher who refused to come to work is what child exploiters and abusers look like.

PRESIDENT TRUMP

Sundance: President Trump Sits Down to Discuss Joe Biden Introducing Communism to the U.S.
I am often asked why the ‘system’ is so intensely focused on eliminating Donald Trump.  Sure, the decades past have highlighted attacks against various politicians with the Alinsky purpose to isolate, ridicule and marginalize them; however, in the history of American politics, no individual has been targeted at the scale of Donald Trump.  What makes this different? I’ll answer that important question below this recent interview. […]  But what is it about Donald Trump that makes these attacks so profound and over the top? Why is Donald Trump considered a ‘threat”?  And what exactly is he a threat to? Donald Trump isn’t even in office, yet the exact same cast of characters have spent the entirety of their effort over the past year trying to destroy him. Think about the scale of effort. Why are they putting this much emphasis on destroying this one person? When you step away from the noise of what has been created to seem ordinary, that question is quite profound. I mean really…. what is it about this guy that makes things different? The answer is really quite simple. [NOTE: AFLDS is America’s Frontline Doctors]

Just the News Staff: Trump fires back at Biden for his remarks holding former president responsible for Jan. 6
Forrmer President Trump on Thursday responded to President Biden holding him responsible for incidents exactly one year earlier during the Jan. 6 riot.  “Biden is working hard to try and deflect the incompetent job he is doing, and has done, on the horrible Afghanistan withdrawal (surrender), the Borders, COVID, Inflation, loss of Energy Independence, and much more,” Trump said in an email from his Save America PAC. “Everything he touches turns to failure.” The email came about an hour after Biden, in a nationally televised speech inside the U.S. Capitol Building, said Trump “tried to prevent the peaceful transfer of power.”

Vespa: Band of Traitors: Ex-Trump Staffers and Officials Are Drafting a Plan to Stop Him
He had to deal with the liberal media. He had to fight the Democrats. He fought the deep state. And now, his own staff has come clean about their efforts to undermine Donald Trump. This didn’t just start today. These guys were working to hamstring the Trump administration from within. How can you do the job when you have snakes like this on your staff? There’s going to be a gathering of traitors of former Trump staffers and officials who are seeking to “stop” Trump. I feel like I’m reading Peter Strzok’s text messages to Lisa Page when I see stuff like this but it’s coming from people who were supposedly on our side (via The Hill): Former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham on Thursday said she and a group of officials who worked in the Trump administration are meeting next week to “try and stop” former President Trump. […]  The political class hates “Trumpism.” And it has enemies on both sides of the river. It threatens their gravy train which they rode for decades, screwing normal Americans in the process. They want a return to norms.

US SUPREME COURT

(1/7/22) CSPAN: Justices Hear Case on Vaccine Mandate for Health Care Workers
As you are likely aware, the medical consensus on the COVID-19 “vaccine” effectiveness is that they do not prevent the spread of SARS-CoV-2. As you also may know, AFLDS recently filed a brief with the Supreme Court noting that these injections are merely a personal treatment choice, and not a public health measure at all. With over 50 other citations, AFLDS’ brief breaks new legal ground. The Supreme Court hears oral argument on the Biden administration’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for health care workers at facilities that receive federal funding. We want to remind you that the SCOTUS has scheduled one hour of oral argument on the OSHA mandate tomorrow, Friday, January 7, 2022 at 10:00 a.m. EST. A second hour of oral argument on the CMS mandate for healthcare workers will be conducted at 11:00 a.m. EST.  Airing Details Jan 07, 2022 | 11:00am EST | C-SPAN RADIO  Jan 07, 2022 | 11:00am EST | C-SPAN 1  Jan 07, 2022 | 9:02pm EST | C-SPAN 1

GLOBAL RESET

Shurk: The Four Horsemen of the Left’s Artificial Apocalypse
Let me state firmly my belief that we are on the precipice of a dramatic shift in human relations.  The institutions, authorities, and cultural puppet masters that have hoarded power for centuries are screaming out today because they’re breaking…and panicking. […]  In response to their fear, everything the global elite do today is about pushing back against this organic revolution by consolidating power and wealth into as few hands as possible while trying to take over the technologies that have paved the way for greater individual freedom.  These initiatives are collectivist (leftist) and globalist (oligarchical) in nature, and they all pursue the same aim: to weaken individual sovereignty and strengthen governmental control. (1) COVID-1984 Bringing the Great Reset’s Conquest The Chinese Flu may be a minor pestilence, but after two years of scientific dictatorship taking hold around the world, it is clear that the lockdowns, small business devastation, church closures, and punishments for disobeying arbitrary and capricious mandates devised by petty tyrants have all been about conditioning national populations to accept total government control over their lives.  Plain and simple: Governments love the virus they have taught the world to fear.  It is their weapon of choice for initiating, in their own words, a “Great Reset” that allows them to conquer free nations and remake them into slave states mastered by a small coterie of the fantastically wealthy and politically powerful. […]  (2) Racial Violence Bringing War Polling on race relations in the United States was at all-time highs until Barack Obama and Eric Holder taught an entire generation of Americans to hate each other for the moral atrocities of distant ancestors.  We were on our way to being a race-blind society.  Now we are required by governing authorities to view everything through the lens of race.  College admissions, health treatments, social welfare, job hiring, and even movie scripts are all explicitly race-based now — something that not only plainly is unconstitutional, but also was withering to extinction twenty years ago. […]  (3) Communist Inflation Bringing Famine . . . […]  (4) Climate Change Doomsayers Bringing Death . . .

NOVEMBER 7, 1983: THE REAL VIOLENT DOMESTIC ATTACK ON DEMOCRACY

  • Michael Waller  Senior Analyst for Strategy, Center for Security Policy tweeted on 1/9/21: Fact: House Judiciary Committee Chairman @RepJerryNadler  got President Clinton to pardon terrorist Susan Rosenberg, who planted a bomb outside the US Senate chamber in 1983 to try to assassinate Republican senators.

(1/11/21) Justice:  Left-Wing Terrorists Bombed The Senate In 1983. Bill Clinton Let Them Out Of Prison Early — At Jerry Nadler’s Request
In his final day in office, Jan. 20, 2001, President Bill Clinton commuted the sentences of a pair of radical leftists serving time for bombing the U.S. Capitol building, where a 1983 blast shattered the second floor of the Senate wing. Linda Evans and Susan Rosenberg each served 16 years of lengthy sentences, with Rosenberg escaping 42 years of a 58-year sentence and Evans cutting short a 40-year sentence by 24 years. The FBI landed formal indictments on Evans and Rosenberg in the 1988 “Resistance Conspiracy” case for their involvement in the bombing of the Capitol along with five others. Evans and Rosenberg had already been in police custody for other crimes of the radical left-wing terror group May 19th Communist Organization (M19), named for the birthdays of Malcolm X and Vietnamese leader Ho Chi Minh. According to a historical chronology of the left-wing group by the Smithsonian Magazine, M19 also carried out successful bombings of an FBI office, the Israel Aircraft Industries building, the South African consulate in New York, and D.C.’s Fort McNair and Navy Yard.

Naylor: ‘The Former President’: In Scathing Speech, Biden Never Utters Trump’s Name
Biden never uttered Trump’s name in his speech, but he referred repeatedly to the former president with forceful, and at times personal, denunciations of his actions. Trump, Biden said, “values power over principle.” His “bruised ego matters more to him than our democracy,” the president continued, adding, “He can’t accept that he lost.” “He’s not just a former president,” Biden said of Trump. “He’s a defeated former president.” He said Trump sat in the White House “watching it all on television and doing nothing” as police were assaulted and “the nation’s Capitol was under siege.” Biden said the U.S. is in “a battle for the soul of America.” “I did not seek this fight brought to this Capitol one year ago today, but I will not shrink from it either,” he said. “I will stand in this breach. I will defend this nation. And I will allow no one to place a dagger at the throat of democracy.”

Earle: Liz and Dick Cheney stand ALONE as the only two Republicans in the chamber during Nancy Pelosi’s moment of silence: Former VP tears into GOP leaders for their response to Jan. 6th and kicking his daughter out
Just two current or former House Republicans were on hand for a moment of silence House Speaker Nancy Pelosi organized to mark Jan. 6th – and one of them left office in 2009.   Pelosi presided during the event marking the first anniversary of the Jan. 6th Capitol riot – with Rep. Liz Cheney serving as the only elected Republican present. The Wyoming lawmaker was joined only by her father from the GOP, making for a total of two current or former Republican House members. Pelosi had announced the moment of silence as one of a series of events to mark the anniversary days in advance, and had asked lawmakers to tell her office if they planned to attend. But when it came time for the moment at noon Thursday, Cheney, a member of the select House committee probing Jan. 6th, didn’t have much company on her side of the aisle.

Schnell: Cheney confirms she told Jim Jordan on Jan. 6 ‘Get away from me. You f—ing did this’
“That f—ing guy Jim Jordan. That son of a bitch,” Cheney told Milley, according to the book. “While these maniacs are going through the place, I’m standing in the aisle and he said, ‘We need to get the ladies away from the aisle. Let me help you.’ I smacked his hand away and told him, ‘Get away from me. You f—ing did this.’ ” Cheney’s confirmation of the interaction came on the one-year anniversary of the deadly attacks. The U.S. recognized the solemn anniversary with a number of events on Thursday, including addresses from President Biden and Vice President Harris and a conversation with historians on Capitol Hill “to establish and preserve the narrative of Jan. 6.”

Sundance: Governor Ron DeSantis Highlights the Political Motives of the DC Elites to Exploit their Manufactured Jan 6th Event
In typical leftist form the J6 events are now being compared to the attack on Pearl Harbor and the September 11, 2021, terrorist attacks by the Biden administration.   However, before the day’s insufferable events began, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was asked his opinion of what would take place.  DeSantis rightly noted this is Christmas Day for the DC system; they have been preparing for this day for almost a year.

Gonzales: The Myth of January 6 | Opinion
Shattered mirrors, chandeliers, and furniture littered the halls of the Capitol on a day when a group that “openly advocates the overthrow of the U.S. Government through armed struggle and the use of violence” according to the FBI struck at the heart of our democracy. This was not January 6, 2021 but November 7, 1983, the day that the May 19 Communist Coalition detonated a bomb that blasted a hole in the wall outside the Senate chamber. But the 1983 incident—the day that a group with the goal of violently overthrowing the government bombed the Senate building—has been effectively wiped from memory. Susan Rosenberg, a May 19 member, was initially charged with a role in the 1983 Capitol bombing and two others, but the charges were dropped as part of a plea deal. In 1984, she was arrested in possession of 750 pounds of explosives and firearms, including automatic weapons, and a jury convicted her the following year. But 16 years into Rosenberg’s 58-year sentence, President Bill Clinton commuted it on his last day in office. By 2020, Rosenberg, a convicted terrorist, was sitting on the board of Thousand Currents, which handles donations made to Black Lives Matter.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and other Democratic senators recounted their experiences on January 6 during floor speeches Thursday before the Senate held a moment of silence to observe the one-year anniversary of the Capitol attack.  Schumer recalled being ‘within 30 feet of these nasty, racist, bigoted insurrectionists,’ recalling footage that had been shared during former President Donald Trump’s second impeachment of the New York Democrat’s narrow escape. ‘I was told later that one of them reportedly said, ‘There’s the big Jew, let’s get him,” said Schumer. ‘Bigotry against one, is bigotry against all,’ he added.

Tobin: For Assisting The Jan. 6 Witch Hunt, Cheney And Kinzinger Should Be Booted Out Of The GOP
Cheney and Kinzinger tell fawning reporters that in joining the Democratic crusade against Trump they are putting patriotism over partisanship. But at no point have either of them pushed back against the rhetorical excesses of their committee colleagues demonizing all those who supported Trump’s claims. Nor have they attempted to use their outsized influence on the proceedings to limit its scope or prevent it from seeking to put House GOP colleagues in the cross-hairs of its investigators. On the contrary, they have nodded along when Democrats make extravagant claims about an insurrection or what they seem to be asserting is a vast conspiracy on the part of Republicans to support a coup and played a helpful role in their attack on figures like Meadows. Were the pair interested in defending ordinary Republicans or the party, they might use their places on the committee to act as a check on its activities or to reassure ordinary Republicans who voted for Trump and think there was plenty that was fishy about the 2020 election that this isn’t about targeting them or their beliefs. They might speak up when people like Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., refers to the support for Jan. 6 terrorism in the Republican Party. But they have done none of those things and instead, seem all too happy to be the token Republican members of a kangaroo court that respects no limits to its efforts to paint the GOP with the broad brush of “insurrection.” As such, participation in this farce isn’t mere dissent from a Republican consensus or opposition to the ongoing influence Trump exercises over the party.

GOVERNMENT RUN HEALTHCARE:  IT’S POLITICAL

Sibarium: Food and Drug Administration Guidance Drives Racial Rationing of COVID Drugs
In New York, racial minorities are automatically eligible for scarce COVID-19 therapeutics, regardless of age or underlying conditions. In Utah, “Latinx ethnicity” counts for more points than “congestive heart failure” in a patient’s “COVID-19 risk score”—the state’s framework for allocating monoclonal antibodies. And in Minnesota, health officials have devised their own “ethical framework” that prioritizes black 18-year-olds over white 64-year-olds—even though the latter are at much higher risk of severe disease. These schemes have sparked widespread condemnation of the state governments implementing them. But the idea to use race to determine drug eligibility wasn’t hatched in local health departments; it came directly from the federal Food and Drug Administration. When the FDA issued its emergency use authorizations for monoclonal antibodies and oral antivirals, it authorized them only for “high risk” patients—and issued guidance on what factors put patients at risk. One of those factors was race. […]  The triage plans show how federal guidelines can encourage this sort of race discrimination. They also suggest that the FDA is making political judgments, not just scientific ones.

Cerundolo, M.D.: Why the CMS’s Antiracism Agenda May Backfire
The subjective sensation of pain was reframed as an objective measurement, and through the implementation of pain scales was deemed on par with literal measurements of temperature, blood pressure, heart rate, and respiratory rate. The “pain as the 5th vital sign” campaign was incorporated into pain management standards, and linked to reimbursement from the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) for in-hospital care through patient surveys that included three questions about pain treatment.  When patients reported unrelenting pain despite non-opiate therapeutics, the next alternative to adhere to pain management policies and avoid a cut in reimbursement was an opiate prescription. Now, as the opioid epidemic rages, the AMA has since dropped “pain as the 5th vital sign”  . . .[…]  Like the pain campaign, fresh incentive payments from CMS aim to push forward a movement in medicine aspiring to achieve the equally broad and complex goal of social justice.  A new Improvement Activity, to “Create and Implement an Antiracism Plan,” will be added to a list of options influencing incentive payments for 2022, contributing to a score that can increase or decrease reimbursement by up to 9 percent.
The rationale for this initiative is to “address systemic inequities including systemic racism” as stated in President Biden’s executive order released in January 2021, to confront racial and ethnic health disparities. CMS references a toolkit to implement strategies that addresses these disparities using root cause analysis. […]  The AMA goes a step further, however, in favor of making race and ethnicity a bigger factor in patient care decisions.  In May . . .

California’s long-running descent into madness continues as its bizarre Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum (ESMC) now encourages public school students to pray to bloodthirsty Aztec deities. The California State Board of Education approved the almost 900-page ESMC in March 2021, saying teaching children about the systemic racism that supposedly plagues America has never been more urgent, as Fox News reported at the time. “The curriculum’s unequivocal promotion of five Aztec gods or deities through repetitive chanting and affirmation of their symbolic principles constitutes an unlawful government preference toward a particular religious practice,” Frank Xu, president of Californians for Equal Rights Foundation, said months ago as his organization filed a lawsuit against the state.

The U.S. Air Force acknowledged it changed the “norms” on how a candidate advances through its elite Special Tactics training pipeline after an anonymous service member accused the military branch of making special accommodations to advance a female trainee who failed to meet the program’s rigorous physical standards. Typically a candidate who quits the training program is reassigned to his or her previous duty, but that wasn’t the case with a female candidate who was kept in the program even after repeatedly quitting and failing to meet its physical standards, according to a Memo published anonymously Wednesday morning and obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. Advancing a candidate who quit the program violated the Special Tactics community’s “societal norms,” the memo states.

BIDEN/HARRIS/OBAMA REGIME: TRANSFORMING AMERICA

Sundance: They Know What’s Coming, White House Puts Port Envoy on Podium to Discuss Supply Chain Issues
The White House put Port Envoy John D. Porcari, who is also intricately involved in the supply chain taskforce, on the podium today to discuss supply chain issues.   The full video of his remarks is posted below, but my spidey sense is telling me they know what we know, and they are starting to prepare for what will ultimately become impossible to ignore. […]  It’s not just a port issue, as we have discussed on these pages, the interventionist policies and regulations from the people creating the COVID response (writ large) have been fubar from the beginning. {Go Deep} When they shut down the restaurants and hospitality sector (2020 lockdowns), the advisors and bureaucrats triggered a cascading series of events inside the food supply chain.

Blake: Why America’s Ruling Class Is So Incompetent
Our national elite is united enough to have the vices of a ruling class, but not the virtues. In particular, they are cohesive enough to be perceived as oppressive by much of the populace, but they are rarely gracious and conciliatory when needed. They know how to make enemies, but not friends.
Culturally and ideologically, America’s elites have consolidated into a regime, with Big Tech, the legacy media, academia, Big Business, the entertainment industry, and, of course, the leaders of the Democratic Party, all singing from the same hymnal, even if they sometimes squabble over the key. But many citizens refuse to join in. The American ruling class thus faces an ancient problem: how do political, cultural, and economic winners convince everyone else to accept the system; how do elites secure the consent of non-elites? Members of our ruling class cannot appeal to religion or immemorial custom to justify their place. Indeed, they cannot appeal to much of anything beyond their own supposed merits, both personal (they earned their place) and as a class (they believe themselves to be wise and leading us well).

Curley: Systemic racism didn’t cause the frozen nightmare on I-95 and boatloads of cash won’t fix it, Transportation Secretary Buttigieg and his fellow progressive radicals need to stop trying to save the planet and start fixing the potholes
The Biden administration apparently knows what went wrong on Virginia’s I-95 on Tuesday, after an entirely predictable winter storm trapped hundreds of drivers in frigid temperatures for 24+ hours. They didn’t pour enough money on it! Who knew dollars melt ice? Even as commuters sat shivering in their vehicles, Kamala Harris took to Twitter. The gaffe-prone Vice President never wastes an opportunity to make a bad situation even worse for the Biden-Harris administration. The tweet, even by Kamala standards, was incredibly tone-deaf. ‘Because of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, America is moving again. That’s what infrastructure is all about: getting people moving.’ The explanation for this poorly timed tweet is anyone’s guess. […]  But what makes no sense whatsoever is the fact that Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg decided to retweet the Vice President’s empty message. What is Pete’s excuse for being out of the loop?

A CULTURE IN DECLINE

Linning: Transgender man who fell pregnant while transitioning after a ‘Grindr one-night stand’ reveals he’s raising his daughter with a new husband – and wants MORE children before having full gender reassignment surgery
Ash Patrick Schade, 28, from Huntington, West Virginia, had been two years into transitioning and was taking testosterone and estrogen blockers when he discovered he was pregnant in February 2020, following a ‘Grindr hook-up’. ‘It had never occurred to me that I could get pregnant whilst on testosterone and estrogen blockers, as it’s such a rare occurrence,’ Ash explained. After finding out he was pregnant, Ash, a mental health worker and PhD student, stopped hormone treatment to allow him to carry a child. A month after finding out he was pregnant, he met his now husband Jordan, 28. Daughter Ronan was born in October 2020. The couple are raising one-year-old Ronan together and Ash, who underwent top surgery to remove his breasts after the birth, says he is holding off on having full gender reassignment surgery so they can have more children together.

THE DEMOCRAT LED WAR ON WOMEN

Hill: Lia Thomas Is Guilty of Institutional Cheating and Gender Eugenics
You were born a biological male. You have XY chromosomes that irrevocably designate your sex as male. You began to identify as either non-binary or female around two years ago. You are currently a member of the University of Pennsylvania’s women’s swim team where you recently were victorious against Cornell University women’s team. […]  As a professionally trained ethicist who is also a cisgendered gay man, I respect your individual right to self-identify and to cull a conception of the good life for yourself around your gender identity. You have a right to be treated with dignity and respect. No one should ever violate your bodily identity. Your decision to view yourself as a woman should never permit others to eviscerate you of your individual rights as a human being. But I also advocate the individual rights of women. Your freedom to cull such a life stops when you foist that identity as an unassailable truth onto others and force them to adopt it as a normative mandate. You and the cowardly NCAA are guilty of wholesale cheating on a massive scale. Biological men competing with women is a form of massive cheating. There are rules that create different sporting categories for men and women based on objective criteria found in nature and reality. You swam on a men’s team, and you competed with men. You know very well what those differences are.
