It seems that we’ve heard nothing else but “coronavirus” for the past couple of weeks, which is a pity, because, if you pay attention, there has been at least one rare outbreak of sanity in recent times.

A government agency has finally worked up the un-tucked cojones to state a blunt truth: men in dresses are not women.

The U.S. Department of Justice told a federal court Tuesday that allowing transgender athletes to compete against biological females deprives the latter “of the single-sex athletic competitions that are one of the marquee accomplishments of Title IX.”

This is in relation to the court case – the first of many, it is to be hoped – filed by actually female high school athletes against pretend “females”, who are, of course, really men. The actual girls, who were previously at the top of their field, are being smashed (sometimes literally) by pretend “girls” who were merely mediocre when they competed against other boys.

The Justice Department has weighed in on a case involving three high school students who have sued the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference, the Connecticut Association of Schools and the school boards in in Bloomfield, Cromwell, Glastonbury, Canton and Danbury.

According to the teen girls’ lawsuit, a CIAC policy allowing transgender athletes to compete in scholastic contests gives them an inherent physical advantage against other students.

CIAC has said that its policy, implemented in 2013, is in accordance with state and federal law, including Title IX, the 1972 act which prohibited sex discrimination in education and related activities, such as sports.

“Under CIAC’s interpretation of Title IX, however, schools may not account for the real physiological differences between men and women,” the Justice Department said in its filing.

“Instead, schools must have certain biological males — namely, those who publicly identify as female — compete against biological females.”

Anyone who’s not a raving leftist idiot is able to comprehend basic biological science: men are not women. Such high-falutin’ science-talk, though, is mere hate-speechin’, so far as the wokesters are concerned.

After years of cowed silence at best, or more often ideologically-blinded complicity, the US DOJ is kicking back against the pricks tucked into sequined panties.

“Males will always have inherent physical advantages over comparably talented and trained girls — that’s the reason we have girls sports in the first place,” Soule, Mitchell and Smith’s attorney, Christiana Holcomb said Wednesday.

“And a male’s belief about his gender doesn’t eliminate those advantages.”
