The Democratic Party’s transgender ideology does not hold up even against its own gender politics when it comes time to talk about how women are oppressed.

Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA) over the weekend declared that “Women are more likely than men to get seriously injured in car crashes — in part because vehicle safety features haven’t been designed for them.” Therefore, she “introduced a bill to make sure vehicle crash tests use female dummies too — it makes a difference for safety & is just common sense.”

But this shouldn’t be true, at least according to the transgender ideology of Murray’s party. Why would it matter if vehicle safety features haven’t been “designed” for women if there are no biological differences between men and women and people can choose to switch between them at will? How do you have a “female” crash dummy if gender is nothing more than a social construct with no bearing on biology? How do you determine what gender a crash dummy is if it can’t identify one for itself?

None of this makes sense, at least in the worldview of someone like Murray, who believes that telling the truth that you do not get to pick your gender is “erasing LGBTQ kids.” Most people would recognize that Murray might have a point because men and women are different, but for Murray, that should be incoherent. She is on the ideological side that believes being a man or woman is just something you can declare, that gender is malleable, and that there are no biological differences when it comes to things like sports.

This is not the first time this has happened with a Senate Democrat, either. Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT), in talking about a crisis in masculinity among young men, said, “We cannot avoid the biological/evolutionary differences between men and women.” And he would be right, except Democrats do avoid those differences when it comes to transgender ideology and allowing doctors to permanently disfigure “transgender” children or forcing girls to change in the same locker rooms as boys.

You cannot seriously argue that “sex is assigned at birth” and has no bearing on whether someone is a man or woman, and then argue that there are biological differences between men and women that affect society. These are undeniably contradictory, and Murray’s gendered virtue signaling should not be indulged until she addresses this fact.
