‘Kindergarten Cop’ kid smarter than Chuck Todd in biology.

During a recent episode of “Meet the Press,” MSNBC host Chuck Todd denied the existence of biological gender, prompting backlash from viewers. GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy accurately described gender dysphoria as a mental health disorder and called “gender-affirming care” for children cruel. Todd questioned Ramaswamy’s confidence in the binary nature of gender, asking if he knew this as a scientist.

Ramaswamy responded by stating the biological fact that women have two X chromosomes and men have an X and a Y chromosome. Todd’s denial of this basic scientific fact is frustrating, especially considering that he likely knows better. The transgender movement is relatively new, and many older Democrats struggle to keep up with the ever-evolving pronouns, orientations, and identities.

Unfortunately, when adults like Todd fail to stand up for reality and against child-abusing chemical castration and genital mutilation, impressionable children pay the price. Ramaswamy correctly points out that gender dysphoria has historically been characterized as a mental health disorder, and affirming it as a valid identity is not compassionate but cruel.

Real-World Consequences

When adults like Todd deny biological reality, they contribute to the confusion and harm of vulnerable children. It’s time to stand up for truth and compassion, rather than blindly affirming the latest trend.
