Schuyler Bailar is a female swimmer who identifies as a transgender man. She was joined on a recent episode of her podcast, “Dear Schuyler,” by Lia Thomas, a male swimmer who identifies as a transgender woman. Thomas addressed the issue of the middle ground in the transgender debate, saying: “They’re like, ‘Oh, we respect Lia, as a woman, as a trans woman or whatever, we respect her identity, we just don’t think it’s fair.’ You can’t really have that sort of half-support where you’re like, ‘Oh, I respect her as a woman here, but not here.”

He’s right. Trans activists and idealogues will never be satisfied with anything other than total acceptance of their agenda. So it’s not only wrong on principle to humor them, it’s ineffective. Men don’t belong in women’s sports. Period. Appeasement is not an option.

Here’s Kara Danksy of the Women’s Liberation Front on Dr. Phil, handling this question with great aplomb.
