US President, Joe Biden has signed an executive order to end “gender-identity” discrimination that mandates allowing male-bodied persons who identify as women access to female-only spaces.

The order says: “Children should be able to learn without worrying about whether they will be denied access to the restroom, the locker room, or school sports”, and, “People should be able to access health care and secure a roof over their heads without being subjected to sex discrimination.”

Ryan T. Anderson of the Ethics and Public Policy Centre said it means: “Boys who identify as girls must be allowed to compete in the girls’ athletic competitions, men who identify as women must be allowed in women-only spaces, health care plans must pay for gender transition procedures, and doctors and hospitals must perform them”.

In reality, he said “it spells the end of girls’ and women’s sports as we know them. And, of course, no child should be told the lie that they’re “trapped in the wrong body,” and adults should not pump them full of puberty-blocking drugs and cross-sex hormones”.

A best-selling author and journalist, Abigail Shrier, commented that, on his first day in office, Joe Biden “unilaterally eviscerates women’s sports”. She said “any educational institution that receives federal funding must admit biologically-male athletes to women’s teams, women’s scholarships”, and she added: “A new glass ceiling was just placed over girls”.
