Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito proved once again why he is a national treasure and one of America’s greatest all-time judges after blowing up the lie used by transgender activists to justify boys in girls’ sports.
As reported, the Supreme Court heard arguments on Tuesday on whether laws from Idaho and West Virginia that ban biological males from playing in girls’ and women’s sports violate the Constitution’s guarantee of equal protection and the landmark law known as Title IX.
Two bio males, Lindsay Hecox of Idaho and Becky Pepper-Jackson of West Virginia, sued their respective states, claiming they discriminate based on sex and transgender status. They claim the states’ laws ban every ‘transgender’ female from school sports, and treat them worse than others.
This is, of course, not true. West Virginia and Idaho are simply relying on science to ensure actual fair play and the rights of female athletes.
Kathleen Hartnett, the attorney of Hecox, was sent scrambling by Alito after he posed an incredible hypothetical question to challenge her argument for ‘trans females’ playing in women’s sports.
He inquired whether a boy who had never had surgeries or puberty blockers but still identified as a girl could be denied the ability to participate. After all, woke liberal logic is that you must oblige a person’s feelings on identity and seek to accommodate their wishes.
Hartnett fell into Alito’s trap and answered ‘yes.’ The justice then piggybacked off his first question by perfectly exposing the lie of gender identity.
He asked how this person could not be considered a woman if they identify as such. By Hartnett’s logic, the school is discriminating against the boy.
Hartnett replied by saying she would respect the boy’s ‘female’ pronouns but still maintained he could not participate.
Alito then closed out his inquiry by noting that Hartnett once again stated it was acceptable for schools to discriminate based on identity, thus undermining her argument once and for all.
LISTEN:
ALITO: Let’s say we have a school that has a boys’ track team and girls’ track team. And a student who has the genes and the reproductive system of a male and had those at birth…Has never haken puberty blockers or hormones; never had (gender reassignment) surgeries, says ‘nevertheless, I am a woman. That’s who I am.’
Can the school say, ‘No, you can’t participate?
HARTNETT: Yes, they can.
ALITO: Is that person not a woman in your understanding? The person says, ‘I sincerely believe I am a woman, I am in fact a woman.’
Is that person not a woman?
HARTNETT: I, I, would respect their self-identity in addressing this person, but in terms of statute, does that person have a sex-based biological advantage that’s going to be unfair for that person to be part of the women’s team? That’s the rationale for the regulation, and that’s the way we would be testing that…
ALITO: The reason I’m asking has to do with discrimination on the basis of transgender status. You seem to be saying that it is permissible for the school to discriminate on the basis of transgender status.
If this person is a trans girl and is barred from the girls’ team, then that person is being subjected to differential treatment based on transgender status, right?
