The Triumph of Reason and Fairness in Women’s Athletics
A Thankful Reflection Today is a good day.

Sports is ‘genocide’
What is going on in Minnesota? If anyone needed yet another example that elections have consequences, here it is. The sheer absurdity of Representative Kozlowski’s statement is a testament to how far modern rhetoric has drifted from reason, evidence, and even the most basic understanding of language. To suggest that preserving women’s sports for biological…

A Defense of the Innocence of Children: A Response to the Kansas Decision
It is a sign of great moral confusion that we must now contend for truths so obvious that our ancestors would have regarded their denial as madness. That childhood should be protected, that the bodies of children should remain inviolate, that no man ought to maim or sterilize a child under the pretense of mercy—these…

Debunking Myths: Gender Identity vs. Athletic Competition
