After graduating with a degree in history, I began my formal work career teaching high school in a ghetto town called Opa-Locka, north of Miami, Florida. There was a fairly intense bullying situation at the school that many teachers ignored.

Not me.

The effeminate boys got it bad. It was a mixed-race school mostly comprised of working-class kids. This was the early 1970s when high school bullying was largely in your face, not done anonymously on a device as it happens today.

Anyway, I bullied the bullies and stopped a lot of bad stuff. But not all. Some kids got crushed.

Today, gay is widely accepted in American society and even celebrated with parades and ballpark expositions. Most people of good will have no problem with that.

But the aggressive trans movement is changing things. Allowing biological males to compete with females in sports is obviously unfair. Presenting complicated gender-based situations to eight-year-olds is absurd and destructive.

So the progress the gay community has made is now being undermined by lunatic progressives. This, of course, is ironic but, most of all, foolish and self-defeating.

And the backlash is real, as Target, Bud Light, and the Dodgers are finding out. I just hope vulnerable children will not be caught in the middle.

But some will be.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.
