Miller and Exclusion

The eclectic Rod Miller, formeraly a Republican candidate for the House of Representatives against Liz Cheney, several elections ago, and more recently a columnist for the Cowboy State Daily in which he has notably taken on the Republican far right, and Frank Eathorne in particular, is now drawing a little flak from the political left.

Probably for showing that he is a thinking conservative, rather than a "RINO", whatever that means, like his critics likely imagine him to be.

I don't read very Miller article and I wasn't even aware of this one until somebody that I follow on Twitter was having a huge negative reaction to it.  The story in issue is this one:

Lex Anteinternet: Down the rabbit hole.

Miller, who has repeated stated he's a conservative Republican, came out with this column:

Rod Miller: The Case For Exclusion In The Equality State 

Well, reaction or no, Miller is right.

Miller tends to be blunt, and rankly some of my comments in this area have been blunt. Sometimes, bluntness is called for.

Miller:

Biological males should be excluded from all-female organizations such as the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority at UW. No matter how firmly he is convinced that he is a woman, he is still a dude doing sleepovers in a houseful of women. That chubby in his yoga pants as he watched his sisters undress was a dead giveaway. He is a biological male. 

For anyone who wants to debate that “separate but equal” went out with the Jim Crow South and the Civil Rights Act of 1964, you’re on. You’ll lose. If anyone wants to debate the “free association” clause in the Bill of Rights as a rationale for male inclusion on female athletic teams or sororities, you’re on, too. And you’ll lose. 

There are clear instances in our world where males and females should be separate but equal, regardless of the gender-fluid philosophy du jour. Perhaps all-trans sports teams and sororities is the answer. 

I have absolutely no problem with drag queen bingo, pride parades or guys going to the bar in tutus. That, to me, is a healthy and entertaining aspect of human diversity. I know it makes some of you cringe, but to each his/her own. 

But for men, born with male genitalia and all that follows, who identify as women, to insert themselves into an all-women world and cause harm is something that causes this cowboy’s hackles to raise.  

Frankly, somehow we've gone from applying science to everything, to detesting science, to applying pseudoscience to things.  

And part of that is ignoring biology.  This can't go on, and a society that does that, is, as they say, sewing the wind.
