Let’s be honest. You can only be a male or female. Or so I thought. With how society is becoming, forms you fill out will change from “What’s your sex?” to “How do you identify?” Or my new favorite, “Are you binary or nonbinary?” I also have never heard of pronouns being discussed so much. We are being given an English lesson every day. What in the world?

The political landscape couldn’t be more polarized on this subject. Democratic-run states support any and all people choosing to identify as whatever they choose and at any age, apparently. Republicans have severely restricted people in engaging in this behavior. For example, I don’t think a 15-year-old boy, who has gone through puberty, should be allowed at age 17-18 to compete against girls.

I can never get the image of Lia Thomas, a biological male with everything still intact, wearing a women’s swimsuit and celebrating beating women out of my head. How can any rational thinking person agree with what’s going on?
