Democrats are in disarray and continue to flounder after President Trump’s November election win and the GOP’s taking control of both the Senate and the House. In the aftermath, they’ve spent much of their time navel-gazing, trying to figure out why they’re being so rejected by the American public. “We just need to improve our messaging!” they cry. Or "Kamala Harris lost because of racism, and sexism too of course!" Or, "The country’s voters are just too uninformed to understand how great life was under Joe Biden’s rule, and just because we all felt poorer after four years of his disastrous leadership, it doesn’t mean it wasn’t the bestest economy ever!"
The one thing they rarely seem to be doing is looking in the mirror and realizing that it’s their policies and worldview that are just too extreme for the average citizen. To wit, a mind-boggling exchange occurred in the Pennsylvania state capitol Wednesday when State Senator Lindsey Williams delivered such a bat-guano take on the men in women’s sports issue that I can’t believe fellow legislators were able to refrain from bursting into laughter.
Despite mountains of evidence to the contrary, Williams claims that men beating up on women is a "made-up issue." It gets worse, though, as she ludicrously contends that men’s and women’s bodies are essentially the same:
Williams, in prepared remarks ahead of the committee vote on the Save Women's Sports Act, suggested that female athletes are physically comparable to male athletes, and don't face biological disadvantages.
"I want all girls to know that there are elected officials like me who believe female bodies are just as strong and fast and capable as male bodies," Williams said.
Yes, she actually said that.

Next, they'll be telling us that men can have babies. Oh wait, they already did that.

Not only are men and women capable of exactly the same feats, Williams declared, women beat men all the time in athletic competition:
"I want all girls to know there are elected officials like me who would never underestimate your ability to beat a boy at their own sport, because that's what the premise of this bill assumes, that female bodies are less than male bodies, that girls are at an automatic disadvantage, and can't possibly compete against boys. Even though girls do it every day."
She added, "For what reason, other than political gain, are we spending time and taxpayer dollars on a completely made-up issue?"
Talk about being out of touch—80 percent of Americans don’t think men should be playing women’s sports and hanging around in their locker rooms. While it is true that women can beat men in certain athletic situations, the competition is not fair the majority of the time.
As Dr. Debra Soh, author of "The End of Gender," said in a 2021 interview:
"Individuals who are born male are on average larger, stronger and faster than individuals born female. And even those trans individuals who are on hormone therapy — so they are suppressing testosterone or on estrogen therapy — this does not override that structural foundation. It also does not change muscle mass or muscle strength after a year being on hormones, typically the guideline used for many sports. But I would argue it does not override the advantages that someone has from being born male," Soh said.
"It's not fair. And it's absolutely heartbreaking when you listen to the girls and women who are competing against these individuals. They know before the competition starts what the outcome is going to be. They know they don't have a fair chance. It doesn't matter how hard they train."
Ask yourself if this looks like a "made-up issue," Lindsey:

Even though this is just a state senator espousing these idiotic views, it’s still to me a perfect encapsulation of where the Democrats have gone so wrong. They regularly eschew obvious facts and try to convince you that their extremist views are in fact perfectly normal and in line with the way most people think. On virtually every issue, they are doubling down on failure, from securing the border to voter ID to women’s sports to crime to sanctuary cities, ad nauseum.
Lindsey Williams is the perfect poster child for what’s wrong with the progressive movement. They’re extremist, clueless, and leery of facts and the truth.
And that is why right now they’re on the outside looking in politically—and we can all hope they keep doubling down on stupid so it stays that way for a long, long time.
