“Trans High School Runner Becomes State Champion, Faces Boos from the Crowd”

That’s the headline of an article appearing on Yahoo News today.  A “trans” (biological male) runner in Oregon won a race, became the high school “female” state champion, and was booed for doing so.

I posted the following on yahoo news in response to the article three times - and it was summarily deleted all three times for violating community guidelines even though I used no derogatory language or employed no personal attacks - unlike many of the other postings that were allowed to remain.  As I observed in my appeal, I guess they are threatened by objective reasoning:

It’s the science, remember? That’s the answer that trumps all others - until it gets in the way of the agenda.

The science says that “trans” runner’s chromosomes make him male. That’s the science. 

He can take all the estrogen and testosterone blockers he wants; it doesn’t change what he is at the genetic level. 

He can mutilate his body to make him appear female; it doesn’t change what he is at the genetic level.

He can believe all day long that he is really a female; it doesn’t change what he is at the genetic level.

A psychiatrist can “affirm “ his feelings all day long; it doesn’t change what he is at the genetic level.

At the end of the day, that science doesn’t change and it doesn’t care about political agendas. His chromosomes make him a male, and that’s the end of it.

Gentex: Spanish-Speaking Only Production Lines….

 In 2021, Gentex, “a technology company and long-time supplier of electro-optical products for the global automotive, aerospace and fire protection industries,” implemented exclusive Spanish language only production lines “to provide expanded employment opportunities for West Michigan’s growing Hispanic community… over 230 Spanish-speaking employees work on various production lines throughout the company.”

Regardless of the nobility of the intent, this constitutes blatant discrimination in hiring and promotion in violation of existing Equal Employment Opportunity laws.  Exclusive Spanish language only lines means speakers of other languages, regardless of how well qualified they might be, are excluded from employment opportunities that have, by definition, been reserved exclusively for Spanish speakers.

They say wrong is wrong, regardless of intent.

This is wrong.  And likely illegal.
