Matter of truth
 

One of the roles of government is to uphold that which is true and good, and to restrain that which is false and wrong.  Boys and girls are distinct, down to our DNA, so to claim that a boy can be a girl is false, it is wrong.  To allow a boy to compete in girls' sports is wrong, it is unjust.  And to go even further to allow a boy into an area where girls would be most vulnerable like a restroom or locker room is incomprehensibly wrong. 

In our nation's history, we have had laws in place that have perpetuated horrendous evils.  I am thankful that faithful men and women have spoken up in the town-square and sought to uphold truth and righteousness and many of those laws have been changed. This truly is a sad time when many in the public sphere cannot distinguish between something as basic as male and female, and because of that, would seek to allow boys in girls' spaces.  I am asking that policies be put into place upholding that which is good and true---boys should compete alongside boys, and girls should compete with girls.
