In a display of breathtaking delusion that would make Captain Ahab proud, Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) declared this week that transgender people "hurt absolutely no one" - a statement so divorced from reality it belongs in a work of fiction rather than coming from a sitting member of Congress.
Like Melville's obsessed captain chasing his white whale, Democrats have become so consumed with their trans ideology that they're willing to ignore the wreckage left in their wake. But unlike Ahab's fictional pursuit, the damage from the left's gender madness is all too real for American families.
Jayapal's absurd claim comes as parents across the nation are fighting to protect their children from radical gender ideology being pushed in schools, sports, and healthcare. Tell that to the female athletes who've lost scholarships and championships to biological males. Tell that to the parents whose children were secretly transitioned by activist teachers and counselors.
"The left's obsession with trans ideology has become their white whale - they'll sacrifice women's rights, children's safety, and basic biology to chase their radical agenda."
Under President Trump's leadership, we're finally seeing pushback against this insanity. The administration has moved quickly to restore sanity to federal policy, ensuring that biological reality - not leftist fantasy - guides government action. From military service to Title IX protections, Trump is putting America's women and children first.
Meanwhile, Democrats like Jayapal continue their deranged pursuit, willfully blind to the harm they're causing. They've convinced themselves that mutilating children's bodies is "healthcare" and that erasing women's spaces is "progress."
The good news? The American people see right through this madness. That's why they elected Trump for a second term and rejected the Democrats' radical agenda at every level of government.
How many more children will Democrats sacrifice on the altar of their gender ideology before they finally admit they're wrong?
