House Democrats unanimously voted this week against legislation to build a new women’s history museum on the National Mall. The reason was an amendment that limited the exhibits to biological women to the exclusion of transgender figures. The museum failed 204-216 as House Democrats hoped that they could still secure a museum including transgender figures once they retake power after the midterm elections.
The amendment drafted by Rep. Mary Miller, R-Ill., states in part, “The Museum shall be dedicated to preserving, researching, and presenting the history, achievements and lived experiences of biological women in the United States.”
It further mandated that the museum would not depict “any biological male as female.”
The vote was notable after the release of the DNC “autopsy” report that flagged how transgender and identity politics contributed to the defeat in the last election.
The report specifically noted the success of Trump’s “Kamala is for they/them, President Trump is for you” ad. The report noted that “If the Vice President would not change her position — and she did not — then there was nothing which would have worked as a response.”
The fact that this was a unanimous vote among Democratic members is particularly notable and suggests that transgender issues will remain a rallying point for the Democrats.
Democratic members called the exclusion a “poison pill” amendment.
In the meantime, transgender issues continue to occupy the courts with a major decision by the Colorado Supreme Court this week that ordered Colorado’s largest provider of gender-affirming care for young people to resume medical treatments like puberty blockers and hormone therapy.
That puts Children’s Hospital Colorado in direct conflict with the Department of Health and Human Services, which has moved to block federal support for institutions providing such care.
Justice William Wood III wrote that “We conclude that the actual immediate and irreparable harm to petitioners outweighs the speculative harm CHC may face if the federal government further acts against it.”
In his dissent, Justice Brian Boatright said that this was hardly a speculative matter, but “a decision driven by the direct threat to the viability of the entire hospital.”
Here is the opinion: Boe v. Child.’s Hosp. Colo.
Newsflash. There has never been a transexual human. Men cannot become women and women cannot become men.
No amount of plastic surgery, hormone therapy, hairdoos, manicures, makeup, wigs or method acting classes can make a man into a woman. It’s just a stupid idea.
I can think of no historically significant positive contribution to culture that is directly related to a person’s sexual deviancy.
The political technique is to state as true something that is obviously, blatantly false in the eyes of any normal human being. When honest people object they are then pummeled with accusations of misogyny, bigotry, transphobia, homophobia, racism, xenophobia and more. It is nothing but a peurile method of telling people to shut up and take what is dished out. It’s a bait and switch. Once they shut down debate their actions will be focussed on money and power grabs.
The amazing thing to me is that Democratic politicians are so uniformly committed to transgenderism. The Democratic voters are not nearly so uniform in their support.

I have an opinion on why that difference exists, but I am reluctant to state it.
There’s way too much on the National Mall already. Less is more!
These Dems have abandoned heterosexual women. May this vote be remembered in November.
Identity politics is all they have and equality is killing them.
Trans is the final boss of dums identity politics.
If you beat trans you win the game.
