Trump Defends Nature

by Steve MacDonald

What is observable immutable fact does not change because an individual or a group demands otherwise. Up is up, down is down, trees, rocks, animals, weather; we can call them Claudius or Claudine, but it doesn’t change what they are. Pluto was always a planet, so take that. There are, of course, areas where we’ll disagree, but that should not put health or safety at risk.

Letting any man who wants to say he feels like a woman at any given moment into the ‘ladies’ “safe spaces” was always going to enable predators, and it has. Women and girls have been attacked and raped in their bathrooms. Women prisoners have been forced to cohabitate with sexual predators who claim to be women.

The girls and women have been injured (some killed) by men posing as women in athletics. Pandering to this notion has caused real harm, while the evidence mounts that leaving kids alone is no more a threat than convincing them they are in the wrong body.

That’s not possible. Your physical self is immutable. But people are entitled to insist they are something they are not, assuming they do not commit fraud. Some of the best at it become very successful, including actors and politicians. If you are a guy who likes wearing women’s clothes, be you, but it does not change the fact with few exceptions, that a stone sinks in water. You’ll always be a dude, no matter how much surgery you can afford. That’s between you, your insurance company, medical professionals, and your friend group. None of my business.

When the fad grows tendrils with force or intimidation (as it has) and, in some cases, defended by law, that results in women and girls or anyone getting harmed, then we can stop and take a look. And we have. Hundreds of articles are likely an understatement, but to simplify it all down, there is no individual right to let men harm women, of which you’d think the Party of Women would have been the strongest supporter. Not at all. Democrats hate women. Donald Trump, much to their dismay and contrary to their narratives, loves women and he feels obligated to help protect them when and where he can.

“My Administration will defend women’s rights and protect freedom of conscience by using clear and accurate language and policies that recognize women are biologically female, and men are biologically male.”

It is the formal policy of the US government.

Sec. 2.  Policy and Definitions.  It is the policy of the United States to recognize two sexes, male and female.  These sexes are not changeable and are grounded in fundamental and incontrovertible reality.  Under my direction, the Executive Branch will enforce all sex-protective laws to promote this reality, and the following definitions shall govern all Executive interpretation of and application of Federal law and administration policy:

(a)  “Sex” shall refer to an individual’s immutable biological classification as either male or female.  “Sex” is not a synonym for and does not include the concept of “gender identity.”

(b)  “Women” or “woman” and “girls” or “girl” shall mean adult and juvenile human females, respectively.

(c)  “Men” or “man” and “boys” or “boy” shall mean adult and juvenile human males, respectively.

(d)  “Female” means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the large reproductive cell.

(e)  “Male” means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the small reproductive cell.

While I’d like to say that’s the end of it, it is not. The constitution is silent on this, so states will continue to mess about, but federally, this is the standard. The Department of Ed, whether it gets is wings clipped or not, will have to abide, and only so many lawsuits from teachers’ unions or the rest of the deep state will stop it, and I can’t say I’ll complain about them wasting their money on lawyers instead of spending it on the 2026 elections.

They are boys and girls, men and women. Everything else is a social construct and that is that.

They’ve got 30 days.

(e)  Agencies shall remove all statements, policies, regulations, forms, communications, or other internal and external messages that promote or otherwise inculcate gender ideology, and shall cease issuing such statements, policies, regulations, forms, communications or other messages.  Agency forms that require an individual’s sex shall list male or female, and shall not request gender identity.  Agencies shall take all necessary steps, as permitted by law, to end the Federal funding of gender ideology.

It’s worth the read. like this bit.

Federal funds shall not be used to promote gender ideology.  Each agency shall assess grant conditions and grantee preferences and ensure grant funds do not promote gender ideology.

Not only does the EO specify that men will no longer be housed in women’s prisons no federal dollars will be used for drugs, treatments, or surgeries to conform in appearance to the opposite sex.

And?

Each agency head shall promptly rescind all guidance documents inconsistent with the requirements of this order or the Attorney General’s guidance issued pursuant to this order, or rescind such parts of such documents that are inconsistent in such manner.  Such documents include, but are not limited to:

(i)    “The White House Toolkit on Transgender Equality”;

(ii)   the Department of Education’s guidance documents including:

(A)  “2024 Title IX Regulations: Pointers for Implementation” (July 2024);

(B)  “U.S. Department of Education Toolkit: Creating Inclusive and Nondiscriminatory School Environments for LGBTQI+ Students”;

(C)  “U.S. Department of Education Supporting LGBTQI+ Youth and Families in School” (June 21, 2023);

(D)  “Departamento de Educación de EE.UU.  Apoyar a los jóvenes y familias LGBTQI+ en la escuela” (June 21, 2023);

(E)  “Supporting Intersex Students: A Resource for Students, Families, and Educators” (October 2021);

(F)  “Supporting Transgender Youth in School” (June 2021);

(G)  “Letter to Educators on Title IX’s 49th Anniversary” (June 23, 2021);

(H)  “Confronting Anti-LGBTQI+ Harassment in Schools: A Resource for Students and Families” (June 2021);

(I)  “Enforcement of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 With Respect to Discrimination Based on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity in Light of Bostock v. Clayton County” (June 22, 2021);

(J)  “Education in a Pandemic: The Disparate Impacts of COVID-19 on America’s Students” (June 9, 2021); and

(K)  “Back-to-School Message for Transgender Students from the U.S. Depts of Justice, Education, and HHS” (Aug. 17, 2021);

(iii)  the Attorney General’s Memorandum of March 26, 2021 entitled “Application of Bostock v. Clayton County to Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972″; and

(iv)  the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s “Enforcement Guidance on Harassment in the Workplace” (April 29, 2024).

Works for me.

In related news, Trump fired all the DEI employees. Gone as in DEI is banned in the US Government. Websites must be gone and offices vacated by 5 PM ET tonight! They’ve even got a clause in there to prohibit them from renaming the thing and hiding the perps who are scheduled for decruitment.
