However, what was once fringe gender theory only being discussed amongst radical academics has now become public policy in San Diego County.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At Monday&#8217;s San Diego County Board of Supervisors meeting, the supervisors held a public hearing on Agenda Item 34, and ended up voting in favor of the item 3-2. Agenda Item 34 was defined as \u201can ordinance to provide for the local implementation of the United Nations Convention on the elimination of all forms of discrimination against women (CEDAW).\u201d Sounds reasonable at first, but Item 34 actually enables biological men to legally identify as women.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ordinance was passed along partisan lines, with Democrats Nathan Fletcher, Nora Vargas, and Terra Lawson-Remer voting in favor of Item 34. Republicans Jim Desmond and Joel Anderson <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jim_desmond\/status\/1519107067142803457?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1519107067142803457%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.kusi.com%2Fsan-diego-county-supervisors-vote-3-2-to-redefine-woman%2F\">voted against the ordinance<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The board clearly doesn\u2019t represent public sentiment on this issue, as 437 people spoke against the ordinance in the public hearing, while only 40 spoke in favor of it. Despite San Diegans concerns that women can easily be degraded if men can simply identify as one, the Democrat-controlled board approved the ordinance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jim_desmond\/status\/1519114147648081921?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1519114147648081921%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.kusi.com%2Fsan-diego-county-supervisors-vote-3-2-to-redefine-woman%2F\">District 5 Supervisor Jim Desmond tweeted that<\/a> \u201cToday\u2019s action opens the door to biological men who identify as women to compete in women\u2019s sports, compete for women\u2019s scholarships, and for unique opportunities that only apply to women. Thereby, taking opportunities from biological women. That in itself is discriminatory.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the brightside, Democrats are shooting themselves in the foot by embracing these illogical and plainly ridiculous culture war positions. San Diego conservatives and patriots should continue calling out Democrats for their destructive agenda as they did on Monday\u2019s public hearing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Photo Cred: San Diego County Board of Supervisors<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written by William Hale It would have been hard to predict just a decade ago, that Democrats unironically don\u2019t know what distinguishes a man from a woman.
