Billionaire Tom Steyer made his fortune with a hedge fund that substantially invested in private prisons and coal-fired power plants. That was before he began running for political office as a Democrat, prisons and coal plants being toxic in those circles. He has\u00a0thus far\u00a0spent $132 million of his own money on his current run for California Governor, which has bought him third place at 15%–for the moment\u2014behind Xavier Becerra at 21% and\u00a0Republican Steve Hilton at 22%.<\/p>

California polling tends to reflect what Democrats want to happen rather than what is happening, particularly when a Republican is doing well; however, it appears Steyer is, once again, spending a large fortune for the dubious distinction of being an also-ran.<\/p>\n

When multiple Democrats vie for the same political job, they must out-Democrat each other. Since the advent of Trump II, the Trans Superiority Narrative\u2014TSN–which requires society to adapt to and praise the whims of the mentally ill, has been in precipitous decline, but Steyer is doing his best to keep it alive. That isn\u2019t a particularly difficult trick in California, one of the last and loudest bastions of trans lunacy:<\/p>\n

California gubernatorial candidate Tom Steyer defended transgender athletes competing in high school sports in a podcast posted on Sunday, arguing that excluding transgendered youth from athletics would worsen the emotional and mental health struggles many already face.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m totally in favor of trans athletes in high school,\u201d Steyer told \u201cI\u2019ve Had It\u201d podcast host Jennifer Welch.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you understand the vulnerability, the stress, the danger of being a trans kid, and you understand almost half of them try to commit suicide, then you think, \u2018We\u2019re gonna punish those kids, we\u2019re gonna cut them off from team sport.\u2019 It\u2019s like, no we\u2019re not.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

One need not read between the lines to understand Steyer is arguing against his own assertions:<\/p>\n

\n

Steyer made similar remarks when speaking to CBS Los Angeles but also branded dissidents for perpetuating a \u201cright-wing attempt\u201d to smear transgender individuals.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo be clear, this is not some huge epidemic,\u201d he said. \u201cThis is a right-wing attempt to victimize and villainize already vulnerable and desperate people, and my heart completely goes out to the people who are so sad, feel so rejected, and so unaccepted that half of them would try to kill themselves.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

There is good reason to think the assertion that 41% of trans will inevitably try to commit suicide is confirmation bias rather than fact. \u201cDo what I want, or I\u2019ll kill myself,\u201d is a circular, insane argument that argues not for doing what mentally ill people want\u2014\u201cgender affirming care\u201d\u2014but psychiatric care aimed at returning them to reality.<\/p>

That statistic comes from of 6,450 \u201ctransgender respondents.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

However, a 2021 paper\u00a0[3]\u00a0notes that the participants were recruited through transgender advocacy organizations and subjects were asked to \u201cpledge\u201d to promote the survey among friends and family. This recruiting method yielded a large but highly skewed sample. By targeting transgender advocacy groups, the survey underrepresented the experiences of transgender individuals who are not politically engaged.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In other words, people with a vested, desperate interest in holding society hostage with the threat of suicide affirmed they would commit suicide if their demands weren\u2019t met.<\/p>\n

Steyer\u2019s assertion of \u201cthe danger of being a trans kid\u201d is a self-imposed, self-imagined danger. So too is the idea that boys pretending to be girls for the purpose of athletic glory are somehow punished by not being allowed to beat, figuratively and literally, girls. Imposing the TSN on girls and women topples the foundations of sports, which require fair competition. That\u2019s why 200-pound men don\u2019t box against 135-pound men. That\u2019s why 60-year-old women don\u2019t run against 20-year-old women, and that\u2019s why males shouldn\u2019t compete against females at all.<\/p>\n

The TSN fails on every level. Among them is the reality that we hear nothing of girls pretending to be boys dominating boys\u2019 sports. That\u2019s where the TSN faith that there are no physical differences between males and females utterly falls apart. There is no advantage for a girl to participate in boys\u2019 sports, and when they try, they\u2019re quickly crushed. But a mediocre male athlete can pretend to be a girl and immediately vault to the medal stand.<\/p>\n

There is no \u201cright-wing\u201d attempt to villainize trans. Plenty of Democrats with athletic daughters don\u2019t want to expose them to boys in locker rooms, bathrooms, or on athletic fields. And if trans are \u201cso sad, feel so rejected, and so unaccepted,\u201d the cure isn\u2019t indulging their mental illness, but curing it.<\/p>\n

Part of that cure is defeating people like Steyer and other Democrats, enabling mental illness at the cost of the sane.<\/p>\n
