To the editor:


Transgenderism is a political construct, not a biological fact. All the hormone treatments, surgeries and wishful thinking don’t change the fact that a transgender person is doing an imitation of what they think the opposite sex should be.

People have a right to pursue their own lives, not to hold society hostage to their particular psychological anomalies or engage in the indoctrination of school children. For the State to compel citizens to participate in transgender dogma is as Orwellian as it gets.

Real women have a right to compete against real women, not transgender men who don’t have the slightest problem engaging in unfair competition or invading women’s restrooms with a sense of self entitlement and sometimes ulterior motives.

As heartbreaking for the trans community as it may be, fanciful supposition, cosmetics and highly profitable medical special effects will never change the fact that biological truth remains immutable.
