Duke University found that high school boys out-perform the fastest, best adult female runners in the world in every single track event. law.duke.edu/sports/sex-spo…
“there is an average 10-12% performance gap between elite males and elite females. The gap is smaller between elite females and non-elite males, but it’s still insurmountable and that’s ultimately what matters.”
“...Olympic, World, and U.S. Champion Allyson Felix’s 400 meters lifetime best of 49.26. Just in the single year 2017, men and boys around the world outperformed her more than 15,000 times.”
“This differential isn’t the result of boys and men having a male identity, more resources, better training, or superior discipline. It’s because they have an androgenized body.”
“The results make clear that sex determines win share. Female athletes – here defined as athletes with ovaries instead of testes and testosterone (T) levels capable of being produced by the female non-androgenized body – are not competitive for the win against males—
here defined as athletes with testes and T levels in the male range. The lowest end of the male range is three times higher than the highest end of the female range. Consistent with females’ far lower T levels, the female range is also very narrow, while the male range is broad”
“These biological differences explain the male and female secondary sex characteristics which develop during puberty and have lifelong effects, including those most important for success in sport: categorically different strength, speed, and endurance.“
“There is no other physical, cultural, or socioeconomic trait as important as testes for sports purposes.”
Sorry, yall. You’re not going to win this one.

Saying “CRT” or “Marxism” is now a non-starter when trying to explain to Christians the errors in the mainstream narratives about social justice and systemic racism. I think the first task is to explain, without buzz words, why what they’re asserting is simply not based on fact.
& I think the way to do that is to ask before arguing. Ask them for specifics, for data, for clarification, for definitions. Ask them to lay down their buzzwords of “privilege,” “oppression,” “Christian nationalism,” etc just as they’ve demanded you lay down yours. Speak plainly
Keep picking and prodding until you both are really clear about what they’re asserting. Then, if you disagree or can rebut any of their definitions or assertions with truth, do that. I would start with data & logic then move into the Biblical realm, personally.
Let’s talk about justice & Micah 6:8. The word for justice used there is misphat, which is used most frequently in Scripture to mean judgment in the context of criminal procedures, in court cases, sentencing, verdicts. To “do” justice in this verse means to execute, carry out. 1/
Micah is prophesying to a people who had turned to idols and whose leaders were failing to enact God’s misphat. How do we know what God’s justice looks like? He makes it very clear in his law-giving to Israel. 2/
At least 4 characteristics that we see of procedural justice in the OT are 1) truthful (based on fact, evidence, witnesses) 2) impartial (unbiased, no special treatment) 3) direct (impacts those involved in the crime) 4) proportional (punishment fits crime) 3/
There is nothing more transcendent than the resurrection of the God-man, Jesus. Literally: his resurrection transcends our finite conceptions of science & rationality. That the Word became flesh, dwelt among us, then was slain for our sins only to conquer death 3 days later? 🤯
The irreverent "reverend" thinks Easter is 'bigger' than Jesus's resurrection because he doesn't care about nor believe in its significance. As an advocate of Liberation Theology, he views Jesus as an example in political activism, not as King & Conqueror of sin & death.
The lie of Critical Race Theory—that America is uniquely and pervasively racist and therefore has no authority to criticize other countries—is postmodern, morally relativistic nonsense that empowers evil, colonizing, enslaving empires like China.
Equating China’s crimes and the US’s is an insanity that teaches people here to hate their country and fellow citizens, weakening our resolve to stand for the very values that have always contained regimes like the CCP.
Every part of the culture war of postmodern left—like the redefinitions of both justice and gender—work to make us confused, divided, hateful, and weak. A divided & weak America is very good for the world’s worst countries, and very bad for their victims.
1) “Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’?“ - Jesus in Matthew 19
2) It’s poor theology all around. Jesus is God according to John 1:1. Therefore whatever God says throughout Scripture, Jesus says too. And, in this case, Jesus also said it.
3) We honor both prohibitions and definitions in Scripture. Scripture doesn’t just prohibit certain types of sexual behavior but positively affirms and defines that which is acceptable to God.
Christian conservatives have ceded ground in every possible arena for at least 50 years. At some point we decided science, medicine, entertainment and public & higher education were all secular endeavors whose degeneracy was inevitable.
So we resigned ourselves to yelling about the problems instead of doing anything about them. We said “Jesus said things would get worse...” and ignored our God-given capacity & responsibility to make them any better.
This is completely out of step with both historical Catholicism & Protestantism. Christians founded the universities that now scoff at the idea of a Creator. Christians built the hospitals now providing abortions & gender reassignment surgery for teens.
