Woke knows no limits on crazy. It seems every week brings new examples of how unstable some liberal minds can be. This week did not disappoint.
On June 30th, the morning the United States Supreme Court handed down its landmark decision protecting female high school and college athletes from male intrusion, the NBC News’ TODAY show found it necessary to provide viewers with a trigger warning for why they were using the terms “biological male” and “biological female.”
NBC News anchor Craig Melvin announced, “Just a quick note here, the terms that we’re using here during our reporting – biological male, biological female – the high court put those terms in quotations in their decision and dissent. But just so you know, we’re using those terms from the decision itself, biological male, biological female.”
NBC News is wrong here. The majority mentions “biological sex,” “biological women,” and “biological men” 175 times in their decision and concurrences. Not once do they put those words in quotation marks. They state them for the objective facts that they are. Only liberal Justices Sotomayor and Jackson put “biological sex” in quotes as if they are not actual things.
This marks the gaping chasm in how gender ideologues and normal people see reality. Biological sex is a fact that is unoffensive to anyone who is not tainted by gender ideology.
George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley commented about this silliness from NBC on X, explaining, “This is how the press becomes a parody of itself.”
It certainly is.
Gender ideology is shot through with the ridiculousness of being scared to speak of male and female as objective biological fact. Just last year, Australian Senator Claire Chandler asked Dr. Anna Cody, Australia’s Sex Discrimination Commissioner, about the nature of biology as it concerns what it means to be a man or a woman.
Dr. Cody responded, “Men, uh, I think we have different language that we are using. I don’t understand the term ‘biological men.’” Cody is a well-educated law school dean who serves the Australian government as the Sex Discrimination Commissioner, and she refuses to use the words “biology” or “biological.”
This is the brain melting poison of gender ideology and NBC News has demonstrated that it is infected with the disease.
No one should ever try to play along with gender ideology, even from a misplaced sense of kindness or silly “pronoun hospitality.” It results in not being able to say what a man or woman is and apologizing for using biologically factual words.
LGBT ideology created and demands this ever-descending level of cultural insanity.

Editor’s Note: We Must Not Bow To The Demands Of Social Justice Totalitarians
Walt Heyer, who serves as Senior Fellow in the Center for Family Studies at Family Research Council, became a Christian after spending over a decade immersed in the confusion of transgenderism. As a follower of Jesus, Heyer has warned the church against embracing lies that keep individuals trapped in sin.
“As Christians, should we carelessly employ language that dishonors God and reinforces the false idea that men can become women and women can become men? Should we signal acceptance of the false belief that cross-sex hormones and/or surgery accomplish the impossible? Of course not,” he wrote in a recent article (How ‘Trans’ Language Has Amassed Power And Control Over Society… And The Church). “Reinforcing the false concept with our language keeps people stuck rather than showing them the way out.”
“’Gender-affirming care’ and language require the rest of us to profess something we know is not true and bow to the demands of social justice totalitarians,” Heyer stressed. “Scripture assures us that God made us male or female in the womb.”
“As a believer in Jesus Christ, I must choose words that are truthful and align with God’s word,” he emphasized. “This is how we as Christians can unleash the awesome power of our Lord Jesus.”
