One of the horrors that has developed for Americans because of the Joe Biden administration is the ideology of transgenderism.

Biden supported that scientifically unsound agenda throughout his presidency, promoting it domestically and internationally.

It’s the idea that men or women can, through chemicals and body mutilating surgeries, become the sex they are not. Actually, being male or female is embedded in the body down to the DNA level and does not change.

But proponents have not been deterred by that fact, or the damage inflicted especially on children caught in the agenda.

Now Franklin Graham, chief of the Samaritan’s Purse global Christian ministry, has delivered a verdict on a looming argument at the Supreme Court over the dispute. There, a coalition of extremists in the Democrat Party insisted the court endorse their transgender goals.

“If you believe men should be allowed in women’s bathrooms and to undress in your daughter’s or granddaughter’s locker room, then you should vote Democrat,” Graham warned on social media.

“Over 130 Democrats in the House and Senate signed an amicus brief urging the Supreme Court to support biological males in women’s sports.”

His opinion? “This is sick. If it turns your stomach, beware. It seems that most Democrats in Washington are buying into these lies. With many, it’s not about what is right or wrong, it’s about power—and they will sell their souls for power.”

He explained, “I’m not a Republican or a Democrat—no party has my loyalty. I’m going to vote for the platform that best supports American and Biblical values. Men in women’s sports and restrooms is perverted. Pray that God will guide the hearts of the Supreme Court justices to do the right thing as they deliberate this issue in just a couple of weeks.”

A report at Fox News explains the Democrats’ support for transgenderism.

“The coalition, which includes nine senators and 121 House members, is led by Congressional Equality Caucus Co-Chair Rep. Becca Balint, D-V.t., Democratic Women’s Caucus Chair Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández, D-N.M., and Sen. Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii.,” the report said.

Signers include all of the party’s leftist fringe, such as Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Ilhan Omar, D-Minn. The list also includes House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Rep. Nancy Pelosi.

The Democrats are calling for support for Becky Pepper-Jackson, a boy from West Virginia who went to court to overturn a state law barring biological males from competing in girls’ sports.

The second pending case involves Lindsay Hecox, a boy who challenged a similar law in Idaho to be on the women’s cross-country team.

Hecox had tried to run away from the court fight, but the agenda was rejected by District Judge David Nye.

The judge said in that case the state “has a fair right to have its arguments heard and adjudicated once and for all. … The court feels [the man’s] mootness argument is, as above, somewhat manipulate to avoid Supreme Court review and should not be endorsed.”

Hecox had claimed he just decided to “permanently withdraw and refrain from playing any women’s sports at BSU or in Idaho.”

Constitutional expert Jonathan Turley said, “Hecox clearly did not like the prospects on appeal and sought to withdraw the case after the granting of certiorari.”

After a transgender athlete won before the Ninth Circuit in blocking an Idaho law, the Supreme Court granted review. Hecox clearly did not like the prospects and sought to withdraw the case before the Court could rule. Judge Nye just denied that effort. https://t.co/drJnvkfbNg

He said, “We have previously seen the court struggle with litigants gaming the system to pull out of an appeal just before the court could rule. That was the case with New York when it moved to avoid a ruling on gun control laws and ultimately succeeded in getting a dismissal over the objections of some justices.”

The Democrats claimed, “Categorical bans—such as the bans in West Virginia and Idaho—undermine those protections and the ability of transgender students to be part of their school community.”

“In January, a New York Times/Ipsos survey found the vast majority of Americans, including a majority of Democrats, don’t think transgender athletes should be permitted to compete in women’s sports. Of the 2,128 people who participated, 79% said biological males who identify as women should not be allowed to participate in women’s sports. Of the 1,025 people who identified as Democrats or leaning Democrat, 67% said transgender athletes should not be allowed to compete with women,” the report said.
