The Evil Complicity of Dahlia Lithwick’s Fake Trans Outrage

A lot of people in journalism are hypocrites, but Dahlia Lithwick, the Supreme Court reporter for the far-left site Slate, is a particularly striking and sickening example. Lithwick was outraged to the point of despair over the recent Supreme Court ruling preventing “transgender athletes”—i.e. boys—from playing on girls’ sports teams and invading girls’ private spaces.

In short, Dahlia Lithwick doesn’t care if young female athletes get hurt.

In his ruling, Justice Brett Kavanaugh noted the following:

In assessing the reasonableness of the regulations, we also must recognize the distinctiveness of competitive sports—and the safety and competitive fairness issues that can arise when females are forced to compete against males. With respect to safety, allowing biological males to play on women’s and girls’ sports teams can put women and girls at significant risk of injuries. The safety risks are particularly severe in contact sports.

Upon reading that language, Lithwick and her colleague Mark Joseph Stern were outraged and despondent. Lithwick called the ruling “tragically predictable.” She lamented that “we keep talking about one body blow after another to trans kids and trans college students. This is a body blow penned by Brett Kavanaugh writing for the majority.”
