In October of last year, in a girls high school volleyball game in North Carolina, a student was injured painfully. The ball was spiked by a member of the opposing team only it wasnt by a biological female but a biological male a transgender player. That had to leave a mark. Watch the video for yourself.

Today that girl, Payton McNabb, is speaking out to support a bill that would disallow biological males from competing in girls sports.

In our Brave New World, people can claim to identify as a member of the opposite sex, and so it is. But that neither comports with the Bible nor science.

In his new book, The War on Virtue, Dr. William Donohue, the president of the Catholic League, writes, Among many members of the ruling class, gender ideology is all the rage. But the fact is that we cannot change our sex. We are either male or female. We cannot change our chromosomes.

Congress acted last week to bar biological males from competing with biological females in schools and colleges that receive federal funds. It passed in the House, 219-203.

The sponsor of the bill, Greg Steube (R-Florida) said, The integrity of womens sports must be protected. Kevin McCarthy (R-California) called it a "great day for America, a great day for girls and women and for fairness in sports.

Sadly, not one Democrat voted for it. No, not one. And President Biden threatens to veto it.

Furthermore, punishment awaits those who deviate from the new sexual orthodoxy that claims a man can be a woman if he so wills it. Such as a Christian school in New England.

Last month, the New York Post reported, A Vermont high school has been banned from participating in state athletics after its girls hoops team forfeited a playoff game against a team with a trans player. And so it goes in our Brave New World.

Terry Schilling, executive director of the American Principles Project, has become an outspoken critic of the transgender movement. In a radio segment on its impact on womens sports, Terry told me:

The transgender movement believes that sex is not important. What is really important is your gender identity or who you identify as. Men and women are different. Our founding fathers would have said it is a self-evident truth that men and women are different.

Schilling adds,

We have studied this scientifically---the biological difference between males and females, and there are many of them. When they come to sports, they apply the most. Men have more bone density than women do. Men are taller on average. Men are typically faster. They have more muscle mass.This is what scientific research has shown time and time again. And its all related to our hormones and our biological makeup, and its why we needed to create Title IX.

The federal government notes that Title IX is a part of the Education Amendments of 1972: Title IX protects people from discrimination based on sex in education programs or activities that receive federal financial assistance.

Out of Title IX grew womens sports leagues. So that women could compete against women.

But the transgender movement is disrupting all this. Many girls who have practiced for years in a particular sport are now losing to biological males who have a natural advantage over them. The girls then lose out on valuable scholarships.

What are biological males doing in womens sports? It is grossly unfair. Sometimes its even dangerous as in the volleyball example.

One of the great ideals of America is basic fairness. Its abiding by the Golden Rule, articulated by Jesus, that we should treat others as we would want to be treated. If you were a biological female, would you want to have to compete with biological males claiming to be girls?

Some of our presidents noted the importance of the Golden Rule in a variety of contexts:

The longer society goes down this path, the longer we abandon our moral sanity, the worse off we are.
