Common sense isn’t so common anymore, is it? We’ve reached a point where the basic facts of life—things we’ve known since we could tell a boy from a girl—are being thrown out the window in favor of something much more dangerous: feelings. Now, don’t get me wrong. I get that people are struggling with who they are, and that’s tough. But when we start rewriting laws, policies, and entire societal norms to cater to a very small percentage of people while leaving the majority scratching their heads (and, more importantly, feeling unsafe), we’ve got a serious problem.

Let’s talk about Title IX. This law was originally about making sure women and men had equal opportunities in education, especially in sports. It was about fairness. But somewhere along the line, that fairness got hijacked. What used to be about protecting girls in sports is now being used to justify letting biological males into female locker rooms and bathrooms, all based on “gender identity.” It’s all feelings, no facts. And here’s where the danger lies.

The argument goes like this: “We need to be inclusive and protect everyone from bullying.” Well, sure, no one wants bullying—unless you’re in Congress, where it seems to be a sport. But this isn’t just about kindness and inclusivity anymore. It’s about throwing biological facts out the window, making decisions based on how someone feels, and forcing the majority to accept it. So, let’s ask the tough question: What happens when those feelings are manipulated or outright abused?

There’s a reason we’ve traditionally separated spaces like bathrooms and locker rooms by biological sex—privacy and safety. And no matter how many flowery speeches someone gives about “gender identity,” it doesn’t change the fact that allowing biological males into female spaces creates an opportunity for bad actors to take advantage.

Now, here’s the kicker: we’re not just talking about hypothetical risks. There have been real cases where individuals have abused these policies under the guise of “gender identity” to gain access to spaces they should never have been in. In 2018, a man in Toronto identified as a woman just to get into a women’s shelter—and then assaulted women in that very shelter. Let that sink in. A law designed to protect people ended up exposing vulnerable women to a predator.

And before someone jumps up to say, “That’s just one case!” let me stop you right there. One case is one too many. But there are more than just a few isolated incidents. We’ve got real-world evidence that shows when we blur the lines between biological sex and self-identified gender, we leave the door wide open for exploitation.

There’s the infamous case in Loudoun County, Virginia, where a biological male identifying as female assaulted two girls in two different school bathrooms. The school district had adopted a policy allowing students to use the bathroom that aligned with their gender identity—no questions asked, no proof required. And guess what? The predator took full advantage of that loophole, leaving two young girls to pay the price for an inclusive policy that protected everyone except those who needed it most.

How does this make sense? I mean, really. When did we decide that a small percentage of individuals who are confused about their identity should have the power to dismantle privacy and safety for the majority? When did feelings become more important than facts?

Biology is straightforward. You’re either male or female, with very rare exceptions due to medical conditions like intersex traits. Science backs this up. Chromosomes don’t lie. A man is a man and a woman is a woman, no matter how much we try to convince ourselves otherwise. And it’s not just science that says this—scripture backs it up, too. Genesis 1:27 is pretty clear: “So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.” There’s no room for ambiguity there.

Now, I understand people will say, “Well, people are hurting and we need to make them feel accepted.” Sure, we can show compassion, but compassion doesn’t mean compromising common sense. Compassion doesn’t mean putting others at risk to accommodate confusion. You can love someone without agreeing to pretend that biological reality is negotiable.

And let’s be real about something else: the vast majority of kids do not want to be part of this experiment. Imagine being a young girl, heading to the bathroom or shower after gym class, only to find a biological male sharing that space with you. That’s not inclusivity; that’s intimidation. It’s an invasion of privacy, plain and simple. Why should young girls be forced into this situation, all because a boy feels like he’s a girl? Is the discomfort of the majority suddenly irrelevant?

What about the moral aspect? For centuries, societies have recognized the need to keep men and women in separate private spaces for modesty and safety. These aren’t arbitrary social rules; they are built on common sense and a moral foundation that recognizes the difference between men and women. That foundation is now being shattered, not because it’s outdated, but because a very vocal minority is pushing for the rest of us to pretend those differences don’t exist.

The bigger issue here is how these policies undermine trust and create opportunities for abuse. Title IX, like many anti-discrimination laws, was created with good intentions. But as it stands now, those good intentions are being hijacked. We’ve opened the door for bad actors to manipulate the system—people who have no sincere identity struggle but want to take advantage of these loopholes for inappropriate or predatory purposes. And in doing so, we are placing innocent people—particularly women and girls—in harm’s way.

So here’s the bottom line: we need to wake up to reality. Title IX is being misused. We’ve shifted from protecting equality to enabling situations where the safety and privacy of the majority are being ignored for the sake of the few. And all we’re doing is giving potential predators a new opportunity to exploit vulnerabilities.

It’s time to put common sense back into the conversation. We can protect transgender individuals without creating policies that expose women and children to undue risks. We can be compassionate without abandoning science, morality, and biology. Let’s stop pretending that feelings outweigh facts and start creating policies that genuinely protect everyone—not just the loudest voices in the room.
