Protection of girls in sports scrimmaged in House, as Democrats fight for boys’ right to beat girl athletes
The bill is being filibustered to death in the House with all kinds of silly amendments, such as the “Chess Amendment” by Rep. Andy Josephson. Next, we expect the “Checkers Amendment.” After that, the Spelling Bee Amendment.
Refresher course on chromosomes from NIH
For those legislators feeling flaccid on the topic of whether boys should be allowed to compete in girls’ divisions, a quick mammalian biology lesson from the National Institutes of Health may be in order:
“Every individual must have at least one X chromosome. Since the female is XX, each of her eggs has a single X chromosome. The male, being XY, can generate two types of sperm: half bear the X chromosome, half the Y. If the egg receives another X chromosome from the sperm, the resulting individual is XX, forms ovaries, and is female; if the egg receives a Y chromosome from the sperm, the individual is XY, forms testes, and is male.
But if you were to listen to Rep. Andrew Gray on Thursday night, you would have heard him say this:
“Trans-girls are not biological males. In their biological brains, they are females. We want trans-girls to play girls sports because they are female.”
Democrats are destroying both females and science, it’s just that simple.

The Juneau Arts & Humanities Council’s confession of colonial guilt
Here’s what the Juneau Arts & Humanities Council wants you to know, in its confession of colonial guilt:
“The Juneau Arts & Humanities Council resides on the unceded territories of the Áak’w Ḵwáan on Lingít Aaní, colonially known as Juneau, Alaska. We acknowledge that the Lingít Peoples have been stewards of this land on which we work since time immemorial and are grateful for that stewardship and incredible care.
“As an arts and humanities organization, we commit to meaningful collaboration through listening, learning, and holding space with Indigenous communities. We recognize the series of unjust actions that attempted to remove these communities from their land, which includes forced relocations and burning of their villages. We aspire to work toward healing and liberation, recognizing our paths are intertwined in the complex histories of colonization in Alaska.
“To foster a strong, healthy, and purposeful arts community, we commit to celebrating diverse expression, listening to lessons from the past, and creating access and opportunities which carry us into the future.”
Um, about that lingering slavery in the 20th century … The Tlingits said they were a sovereign nation and not subject to the anti-slavery laws of the United States, thus their practice of slavery continued. They were the last slave-traders in North America.
