The Democrat hopefuls for 2028 are already starting to try to make sure all of their web-footed fowl are arranged in a linear fashion. Now, that’s going to take a lot of work – these are Democrats, after all, and sometimes it seems like they can’t agree on the color of the sky without first consulting to see what the terminally woke, far-left voters are saying.
That doesn’t bode well for their chances in any national elections. But then, for many Democrats, if reality is over here, then they are miles away, over there. Case in point: Axios, in a recent questionnaire, asked “almost 20” Democrats if it was possible for a man to become a woman. All but one of them declined to answer. I never thought I’d give Rahm Emanuel any props for anything, but he was the only one who said “no.”
Axios questioned top Democrats who are considered possible 2028 hopefuls on trans issues, and found that “most didn’t want to talk,” including former Vice President Kamala Harris, New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, and California Gov. Gavin Newsom.
The questions were whether transgender girls who were born male should participate in girls’ sports, whether transgender youths under 18 should be allowed to be placed on puberty blockers and hormones, and, “Can a man become a woman?”
Only former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel would definitively answer, saying his responses were unchanged from an interview last year when he said a man can’t become a woman and biological boys shouldn’t play in girls’ sports.
I’d like to see the breakdown on who answered what on the “Can a man become a woman” question. A “yes” answer is a stark denial of reality – hint, a man can’t become a woman, nor vice versa; a man is a man and a woman is a woman, and ne’er the twain shall meet. That’s Reproductive Biology 101, which apparently none of these Democrats have bothered with. Either that, or the hyper-woke have laid such an emotional beat-down of these Democrats that they are now afraid to acknowledge reality.
Two other Democrats tried to split the baby.
Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg also responded to the questions.
Shapiro doubled down on his previous comments that local sports officials should be the ones in charge of determining the participation of transgender athletes in sports, but his personal view was that trans youths don’t deserve an “unfair advantage on the playing field.”
A spokesperson for Buttigieg referred Axios to an NPR interview he gave last year, where he acknowledged “serious fairness issues” in the trans athlete sports debate and called for compassion for transgender people.
That’s better, I suppose; at least they are leaning in the right direction where sports are concerned.

This is an issue in which the Republican Party has been handed a big, heavy cudgel to beat the Democrats with. This should be a debate question every time any Republican candidate faces any Democratic opponent; the Republican Party should insist on it. Put them on the record. Make them alienate either their hyper-woke constituents or the rest of America. I know which side a voting majority is going to come down on.
Most of us know the real deal – boys will be boys, men will be men, and girls and women will be girls and women. These are the options. And to that, all I have to say is, vive la difference!
