Trans Extremism: Silencing Dissent

Next month, New York’s state Board of Regents will adopt a “gender neutral” rule for school sports that encourages mixed gender teams and allows trans kids to play on whichever team they choose.

Count it as one more part of a full-court press to quash dissent when it comes to biological boys competing in (and dominating) girls’ sports. And any questioning of the larger “trans orthodoxy,” including the insistence that children should be rushed to and through medical, even surgical, transition.

Here in the city, parents on Manhattan’s Community Education Council 2 who voted for a resolution calling on the city Department of Education to review its gender guidelines in girls’ sports have faced a backlash in their personal and professional lives.

Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine canceled an award for CEC2 parent member Manpreet Boparai because she voted for the resolution. And he kicked Craig Slutzkin, a gay, single father and LGBT activist, off Community Board 5 in the midst of his run for board chair, calling Slutzkin “transphobic” for questioning the party line.

It’s all in the name of “equity” and “fairness,” but it’s the reverse. New Yorkers should use the Regents’ public-comment period to speak out against this lunacy. Don’t let the progressive power plays triumph: Girls deserve a league of their own.
