CAP RETREATS ON TRANS SPORTS: "DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MEN AND WOMEN" — RESTRICTIONS "MAY BE APPROPRIATE"...
Read at americanprogress.org →
Center for American Progress — Democrats' flagship think tank — just dropped "Ending the Backlash on LGBTQI+ Issues." Mid-memo: "We all know there are differences between men and women." On athletics, CAP says keeping males out of female categories "may be appropriate," and treats the NCAA's ban as a fair call for that level of competition. Washington Post: accept some athlete restrictions, keep pushing the rest.
They're not converting. They're cornered. Gender ideology ran into biology, stolen medals, and a public that never bought the lie. CAP still wants the Equality Act, military service for transgender troops, and "medical care" for minors. The sports climb-down is the tell. Reality broke the maximalist line. Sex is real. APP said it when CAP wouldn't.
