The law also outlawed the genital mutilation of\u2064 children. There was nothing particularly unusual about\u200b this bill. It resembled legislation that had already been\u200d passed in Tennessee, Mississippi, Utah, South Dakota, Arizona, Arkansas, Alabama, and \u200cseveral other states. But trans activists in Iowa thought of a somewhat \u200cunique way to protest\u200b the ban.<\/p>\n<p>For reasons that\u200b still\u2063 aren\u2019t entirely clear, they held an\u200b impromptu freak show in a park, in which \u2062they demanded \u200bto be taken seriously. \u2064And naturally, they received sympathetic coverage from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/watch-diner-reportedly-pulls-pistol-as-armed-blm-protesters-storm-restaurant\/\" title=\"WATCH: Diner Reportedly Pulls Pistol As Armed BLM Protesters Storm Restaurant\">local news stations<\/a>. Here\u2019s what it looked\u2062 like:<\/p>\n<p>This demonstration was apparently intended to convey\u200d the credibility and legitimacy of these trans activists. They \u200bwant\u200d you to \u200bknow that they\u2019re definitely not self-obsessed narcissists. And\u2064 to prove it, they\u2019ll dress\u200d up in Halloween costumes\u2062 and \u2062prance around in public. And of course, they\u2019ll repeat\u200d the \u2064argument that so-called \u201ctrans kids\u201d\u2063 are just trying to live their lives by taking hormones and puberty blockers, as if children \u200ccan consent to permanent\u200b sterilization and early-onset bone disease. It\u2019s laughable and evil \u200bat the same \u2062time, and needless to\u2063 say, it convinced no one. Iowa\u2019s law banning child castration was signed by the governor\u2064 shortly afterwards.<\/p>\n<p>So this year, Iowa\u2019s trans\u2063 community \u200dwas back with a new strategy. This time,\u2062 in response to new bills making \u200ctheir way through the Iowa \u2064legislature, trans activists decided to commit\u2064 what can only be described as an act \u2062of flagrant insurrection\u200b against the United States of America. The display was not contained to the park this time, although\u200c as you\u2019ll see, they did that too. This\u2063 is \u200bfootage from the past week in Iowa\u2019s capitol. Watch:<\/p>\n<p>Needless to say, everyone involved should be arrested \u200bas insurrectionists and sent \u200cto prison\u200c for 15 years. That\u2019s the precedent that has been set, and it should be\u2064 applied equally.<\/p>\n<p>As you heard\u200d from the guy with the colored\u2064 hair, \u201cWe shut it down today, but \u200dthey\u2019re going to try to bring\u2062 this \u200bback when we\u2019re not\u200b looking.\u201d That\u2019s a\u200d reference to\u200b a bill \u2063that would have classified gender dysphoria as a disability. \u2062The Iowa House rejected that legislation after the mob showed\u200d up and \u2064occupied the statehouse, which is apparently acceptable when trans activists \u200cdo it. But as the\u200b walking \u200canime character predicted, \u200bthere would indeed be more legislation coming that these activists \u200bwouldn\u2019t like. And in response, they once \u200dagain occupied the capitol.<\/p>\n<p>This latest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.desmoinesregister.com\/story\/news\/politics\/2024\/02\/12\/iowa-gender-lgbtq-bill-man-woman-could-draw-large-crowd-monday-at-public-hearing\/72570253007\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bill<\/a> that we\u2019re told will inevitably lead to the\u200b genocide of trans activists is actually pretty \u2064straightforward. For one \u200bthing, it would provide a \u200cclear definition for \u201cman\u201d and \u201cwoman.\u201d\u200b Specifically, the bill would <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legis.iowa.gov\/legislation\/BillBook?ga=90&#038;ba=HF%202389\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">define<\/a> a \u201cfemale\u201d\u2063 as \u201ca person \u2064whose biological reproductive system is developed to\u2064 produce ova.\u201d And it would define \u201cmale\u201d\u200c as \u2063someone \u201cwhose biological reproductive\u2063 system is developed to \u2062fertilize the ova of \u2062a female.\u201d <\/p>\n<h3>WATCH: The\u200b Matt Walsh\u2063 Show<\/h3>\n<p>One thing you\u2019ll\u200c notice about\u200b those definitions is that they aren\u2019t circular. They also aren\u2019t subjective \u2014 \u200bwhich is \u200dto \u200csay, they\u2019re actual definitions, unlike \u2063anything trans activists are capable of \u2063producing. Leftists who use the word \u201cnuance\u201d all the time but wouldn\u2019t know \u2062nuance if it smacked them over the head have tried to quibble with the\u2063 definitions by pointing out,\u200c as they always do, that some small number of \u200dmales \u2064and small number of females have dysfunctional \u200dreproductive systems. This obviously doesn\u2019t undermine the\u2063 definition of \u2063the\u2063 terms, and \u2064in any\u200b event, the \u200ddefinition in the law says that the male\u2019s \u201creproductive system is \u2063 <i>developed<\/i> to fertilize the \u200cova of a female,\u201d and that the female\u2019s reproductive system is\u2063 <i>developed<\/i> to\u2063 produce the ova.\u201d That\u2064 doesn\u2019t mean this system plays out \u2063perfectly in\u2063 every case, with every person. It just means \u200cthat the systems develop to \u2064that end. So the definition works very\u2063 well.<\/p>\n<p>But the\u2064 bill\u2064 does run into some major\u200d problems as \u200dit goes along. They\u2019re not\u2062 the problems that trans activists are complaining about,\u200b though. So \u2064first \u200cI\u2019ll present their argument, which as usual, isn\u2019t really an argument at all. <\/p>\n<p>According to the opponents \u2062of this \u200cbill, <a href=\"https:\/\/amp.theguardian.com\/commentisfree\/2024\/feb\/08\/iowa-anti-trans-bill-649\">the legislation<\/a> \u2063 would:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><i>\u2026 \u200crequire special \u2062gender markers for transgender people on\u2063 birth certificates,\u2064 measures that were compared to \u2018pink triangles\u2019 once\u200b used to \u2064identify LGBTQ+ people by Nazis in the\u200c 1940s.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>That\u2019s according\u2063 to a trans activist writing in The Guardian. Apparently these special gender markers \u201cwere compared\u201d to something the Nazis did, \u200dand \u2063this\u2062 comparison was made by some unnamed entity or individual. And we\u2019re supposed to be very alarmed by \u200dthis, even though it\u2019s now obvious to everyone that transgender activists are incapable of \u2062making reasoned, calm points about anything. They have to compare everything they don\u2019t like to \u2062Hitler, at \u200bevery possible opportunity. So now \u200bthey\u2019re implying\u200b that people identifying \u200bas transgender are going to \u200bbe hunted down\u200b in\u2063 Iowa based on their birth\u2063 certificates or other documentation. <\/p>\n<p>This article was written by trans\u2064 activist Erin Reed. So, by his logic, if I compare Erin \u2062Reed to serial killer John Wayne Gacy \u200d\u2014 whether the comparison makes sense or not \u2014 then the\u200c rest of \u2064you, when referring to Erin Reed, can say,\u2063 \u201cErin Reed, \u2064who has been compared to serial killer John \u200dWayne Gacy.\u201d That\u2019s the way it works now. \u200dI \u2064don\u2019t make the rules, but I \u2062will have \u2064fun exploiting them. <\/p>\n<p>If you \u2062read the actual text of the bill, here\u2019s what\u200c you\u2019ll\u200b find. The \u2063bill defines the word \u200c\u201csex\u201d \u2063to mean, \u201ca person\u2019s biological sex, either male or female, at birth.\u201d Right away, you\u2019ll \u200bnotice that\u2019s a circular \u2064definition, which isn\u2019t a great sign. Things get worse \u200bas the bill\u2064 goes on to state:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><i>The state registrar shall establish a new\u2063 certificate of birth\u200b for a person born in the state, when the state registrar receives \u2026 a notarized affidavit by a licensed physician and\u200b surgeon \u2026 stating that by reason of surgery \u200dor other treatment, the\u2064 sex\u200d designation of the person has \u200bbeen changed.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>At that point, the new birth\u2062 certificate will include:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><i>\u2026a designation of the sex \u2063of the person,\u200d as male or female, both at the time of birth and at the time the new certificate of\u200c birth is established.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This\u2063 is incoherent. It\u2019s actually nonsense.\u2064 Someone\u2019s \u201csex\u201d cannot be changed. It is not \u201cassigned\u201d at birth. A notarized \u2063affidavit from a physician is incapable of changing \u200dsomeone\u2019s\u2063 sex or \u201csex designation,\u201d no matter how many body parts \u200dthat physician cuts off. What Iowa should be doing is requiring that people\u2019s birth certificates accurately\u200d state their sex. That\u2019s it.<\/p>\n<p>Once you buy into the lie that sex can be changed, then you\u2019ve given trans activists 95% of what they want. They may be\u2064 too hysterical to realize it, but that\u2019s what you\u2019re doing. The\u200c only solution \u2063is to embrace reality and\u2063 ban people from changing\u200b their \u201csex\u201d or their \u201cgender\u201d entirely, because\u200c these are \u200dthings that \u200dcannot be changed.<\/p>\n<p>This is \u2063what Florida did\u2064 a couple\u200c of weeks ago.<\/p>\n<p>The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles announced that residents can no longer \u2064change\u200b their gender \u2062from \u201cmale\u201d to \u201cfemale,\u201d whether \u2062they have a letter from\u200b a medical provider or not. This is obviously the right approach. \u2064And predictably, it led trans activists to\u2063 melt down \u200din their typical melodramatic fashion. \u2064As we saw \u2063yesterday, they \u200cstaged\u200d this \u201cdie-in\u201d at the DMV, \u200bbecause of course, if you can\u2019t change your gender on your driver\u2019s license, \u2064then you\u2019re \u2062as good as dead. \u2063Watch:<\/p>\n<h3>CLICK HERE TO GET\u200d THE DAILY WIRE APP<\/h3>\n<p>This is also an illegal demonstration, by the way. They\u2019re blocking \u2064access to the \u200cFlorida DMV. Now you might say that\u200d they\u2019re\u200d mostly silent and peaceful, but that didn\u2019t stop the DOJ from sending SWAT teams to the homes of pro-life activists when they were silent and peaceful outside of abortion clinics. Those activists are now facing a decade \u2062in prison. The only punishment\u200d these \u200dtrans \u2063activists received, by contrast, is mockery on\u2064 the\u200c internet because of \u2064how completely detached they are from reality. Never in history has a group \u2063reacted so\u200b hysterically to \u200dlaws this benign and\u200c common sense. And never have they been\u200b more\u200c coddled.<\/p>\n<p>This approach \u2014\u2062 coddling these people \u2014 creates a lot \u2062more problems than it solves. The Iowa\u200d bill is\u2062 the perfect \u2062example \u2062of that. It doesn\u2019t just concede that sex can be\u200c changed. It also gets bogged down in confusing and unnecessary explanations, instead of \u2063laying down simple and straightforward \u2062rules to deal with this nonsense. For example, the bill states that \u201cthe term \u2018equal\u2019 does not\u200d mean \u2018same\u2019 or \u200d\u2018identical.&#8217;\u201d But the bill doesn\u2019t actually define\u2063 what \u201cequal\u201d means, if not \u201csame\u201d or \u201cidentical.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The bill also states, \u201cseparate accommodations are not inherently unequal.\u201d That\u2019s true, depending on the context, but no one is going \u200bto read that line and not think of \u201cPlessy v. Ferguson\u201d\u200d and racial segregation. All you need \u200bto do \u200dis say men can\u2019t use women\u2019s bathrooms and locker rooms, and women \u2063can\u2019t use men\u2019s bathrooms and locker rooms.\u2063 It\u2019s not that complicated. But the bill leaves itself open to attack here, apparently in an effort to \u2064explain things \u200cto trans activists that don\u2019t \u200cneed to be explained.<\/p>\n<h3>WATCH: The \u200dMatt\u2063 Walsh Show<\/h3>\n<p>Here\u2019s the thing: the claims made by trans\u2062 activists are so fundamentally false \u2063and\u2064 ridiculous that \u2064any attempt to\u2062 meet\u2064 them on their turf, \u200dany ground given to them, even just an\u200c inch, will end up with\u200d you getting lost in a web \u2063of incoherence. All you can do\u200c is lay things out \u2063very simply, according to the \u2063<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/republican-lawmakers-introduce-womens-bill-of-rights-to-stand-up-for-women\/\" title=\"Republican Lawmakers Introduce \u2018Women\u2019s Bill Of Rights\u2019 To \u2018Stand Up For Women\u2019\">basic biological truth<\/a>, and leave it at that.<\/p>\n<p>These people cannot be \u2063defeated with half-measures. Any form of compromise only emboldens them further. They \u200csee\u200d weakness and they exploit it. That\u2019s why the Iowa \u200dbill doesn\u2019t go far enough. Trans activists who want to \u200cdeny reality should not receive any kind of\u2063 endorsement of the state. They are\u200d not entitled to some third category of gender, \u200dnor \u2062should we create \u201cseparate but equal\u201d systems on their behalf \u2014 nor is there any political reason to afford them\u2063 any of these concessions. <\/p>\n<p>Trans activists, as a \u200cgroup, have never been weaker, more exposed and less organized. After years of completely dominating the conversation by shrieking as loudly as they can, now \u2063they\u2019re on the defensive. If we want to end this conversation forever \u2014\u2063 a conversation we never should have had \u2064\u2014\u2062 then the solution is \u2063not to humor them anymore. This movement \u2064deserves\u2062 nothing but\u200b our scorn and contempt and \u200cabsolute, uncompromising rejection. \u200c <\/p>\n<p>When that\u2019s all \u200dthey get from us, then no, \u200c\u201ctrans people\u201d\u2062 won\u2019t die. But their ideology will.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> How does the bill&#8217;s oversimplification of gender and sex perpetuate harmful stereotypes and\u200c fail to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/white-house-says-immigration-deal-pits-border-patrol-against-trump\/\" title=\"White House claims immigration deal divides Border Patrol and Trump\">provide adequate protections<\/a> for transgender individuals<\/h2>\n<p><span>  O fails to address the issue of gender identity and how\u2064 it \u2063relates to sex. While it defines &#8220;man&#8221; \u2064and &#8220;woman&#8221; based on biological reproductive systems, it doesn&#8217;t account for individuals who identify as a\u2063 different gender. This oversight\u200c perpetuates the erasure and marginalization of transgender individuals and \u2063reinforces\u200c harmful stereotypes.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the bill&#8217;s\u200d language implies that individuals \u200cwho <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ohio-house-overrides-governor-in-next-step-to-outlaw-trans-child-mutilation\/\" title=\"Ohio House Overrides Governor to Outlaw Trans Child Mutilation\">undergo gender-affirming surgeries<\/a> or treatments are somehow falsifying their identity. This is a\u200d dangerous and discriminatory perspective that disregards the deeply personal and emotional journey that many transgender \u2063individuals go through.<\/p>\n<p>The bill also fails to consider the complexities and nuances of\u200d gender and sex. It reduces these complex concepts to simple biological characteristics, ignoring the social and cultural\u2062 aspects of gender identity. This oversimplification perpetuates harmful stereotypes \u200cand \u2064prejudices, and fails to provide adequate\u200b protections for transgender individuals.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the bill&#8217;s comparisons to the actions of Nazis during World War II are deeply inappropriate and offensive. Comparing the use of gender \u2062markers on birth certificates to the systematic\u2062 persecution\u200d and genocide of \u200bLGBTQ+ people by the Nazis\u2062 is not only inaccurate but\u200b also serves to trivialize and minimize the true horrors of that time.<\/p>\n<p>It is crucial that lawmakers and society as a whole approach transgender rights and issues with compassion, understanding, and\u2062 respect. Legislation should be based \u200don scientific\u200b research, expert opinions, and human rights principles,\u2063 rather than on outdated stereotypes and misconceptions.<\/p>\n<p>Transgender individuals deserve to be\u2063 treated with dignity and respect, and their rights and identities should be recognized and protected. It is important that the state of Iowa and other \u200dstates work towards creating legislation \u200dthat upholds these principles and promotes inclusivity, equality, and justice for all individuals, regardless of their gender identity or expression.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion,\u2062 the\u2063 recent legislation and protests in\u2064 Iowa highlight the challenges and struggles that transgender activists face in advocating for their rights \u200cand recognition. It is imperative that we\u200c listen to and support transgender individuals and work towards creating a society that values and respects their\u200d identities and experiences.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The past year has been incredibly tough for trans activists in Iowa.
