On January 13th the Supreme Court of the United States spent hours hearing from attorneys about so-called transgender athletes in sports. This was a total waste of the Court’s time and money. When the day was done, we learned any judgment would be forthcoming in June. So, it will take 5 months for these learned Justices to make a decision about whether what is being called “transgender girls” can play in women’s sports. What a total travesty.
In the first place, the word “transgender” is a fictitious word with no meaning. It is an oxymoron. The parts of that word, “Trans” and “Gender”, simply do not go together under any circumstances. Impossible. Gender cannot be changed and is fixed at conception.
So, the issue is whether genetic boys can participate in genetic girls’ sports. It is biologically certain to be able to determine a boy (male) from a girl (woman). There are two terms used in genetics: phenotype and genotype. The former is the outward appearance of a organism and the latter is the genetic makeup of the same organism.
In the case of human beings, the genotype, I repeat, is determined at the moment of conception and cannot be changed, ever. A simple look at the chromosomes of an individual tells the tale. There are 46 chromosomes in humans: 23 are from the father and 23 from the mother. The chromosomes indicating gender are in fact called the gender or sex chromosomes. A male has one X chromosome and one Y chromosome. A female has two X chromosomes and no Y chromosome. Easy, don’t you think. And that cannot be changed. The chromosomes can be seen easily with a simple laboratory procedure called karyotyping.
About every cell in one’s body contains a full set of genes. There are a few exceptions of cells that carry no genes like red blood cells. No chemical (drug) treatment or surgery can change the underlying genotype. One is either male or female. No switch is possible. A person can adopt behavior of one gender or another. One can dress however one wants. One can get drug (hormone) treatments until the cows come home. One can get body modification surgery galore. Nothing changes the genotype. Nothing changes gender. I repeat again, it is fixed at conception.
And the fact is there are significant biological differences between a genetic male and a genetic female. The differences that would affect athletic performance are huge. A genetic male has more muscle mass, more bone mass, endurance difference, and more. All of which give genetic males an advantage when participating in genetic female athletics.
So, it should take the Supreme Court about 5 minutes to come forth with a decision, if that long. Boys (males) — call them what you would like — should never be allowed to compete in girls (female) sports. It is ridiculous no ruling will be available until June.
The entire Court hearing was a joke. Even the advocates of transgender athletes could not say what a woman is.

To All:
I write to call your attention to the lead article on page one of the Jan 14-20 issue of The Epoch Times. I hope you will have your staff obtain a copy of the full article. It is long and comprehensive. Headline: “Behind the Group That Controls Chinese Students in US”.
I have written about this subject before. It involves the presence of Chinese students at both Purdue and Indiana University, but particularly at Purdue. The subhead of the Epoch Times article says, “Chinese students in America are pressured to ‘fight with all their might for the motherland”.
The message from the Chinese government to all Chinese students in American universities is clear: copy and steal everything you can to send back to China. And we let that happen!
The largest student organization on Purdue’s campus is the “Chinese Students and Scholars Association”. This at one of our nation’s largest research universities: Purdue. As a multi-graduate of Purdue, I say to myself, “What the HELL is going on?”. Are we stupid or what?
I realize that Chinese students on campus bring many millions of dollars to universities and to the support services around them. So, the answer must be greed on the part of universities. In a July 2025 article, I read there are about 277,000 Chinese students currently in the US. I also read somewhere that President Trump is OK with up to about 600,000 such students.
Money!!!! I have read that some universities would have to close without the money from such as China coming in. My opinion: TOO BAD. My years at Purdue as a graduate student even at middle age told me the staffing bloat is huge. I suspect most large universities need an Elon Musk DOGE exposure and drastic cuts much like was needed in the federal government.
We have known for decades that foreign students have stolen intellectual property worth trillions from our research and technology institutions. Yet we continue to allow it in the name of money. We must be crazy.
Again, I hope you will have someone seek out the full article for you. It is important for you to not turn a blind eye to this. As you can tell, this entire matter makes me really angry. It is long past time to cut off the flow of vital research and information to enemies.
Sincerely,
Kent H Blacklidge Ph.D.
Awaken
The extent of the fraud perpetrated by Muslim Somali immigrants in the United States staggers one’s beliefs. It has now been identified as being in the tens of billions of dollars. It is not only in Minnesota but across the country.
But this can be a blessing. It has awakened our nation to what happens when immigrants incompatible with our nation’s foundations and beliefs are taken in. It is time for a reversal. It is time for deportation of all illegal aliens; no exceptions. It is time to end all “Temporary Protective Status” for thousands, then deportation as soon as possible.
It is time to closely examine all VISA holders and deport any who hold beliefs counter to USA values. This includes all in the country on student or visitor VISAs. It is time to totally end chain migration and lottery migration.
President Trump has already issued full suspension of immigration from 19 countries, many of which are Islam dominated countries. Many of those countries are harborers of terrorists wanting to harm the United States. Maybe it is time to suspend all immigration from anywhere for a time until corrective actions can be taken.
Our Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, has warned about the intrusion into the United States of Muslims. She warned that Islam beliefs are not compatible with the Christian foundations of our country. She warned about the Muslim Brotherhood and the Council of American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) with legal efforts to designate them as foreign terrorist organizations. CAIR is pushing for Sharia Law based on the Quran be a part of US legal systems. This cannot happen. Sharia Law must be by statute banned in all states.
Both Florida and Texas governors are leading efforts to target Muslim advocacy organizations to restrict funding to Muslim organizations by tying them to terrorist groups. Finally, we must recognize that Islam is not compatible with the Christian foundation and beliefs enshrined in the Constitution of the United States of America and the Bill of Rights.
Rather, Islam is both a religion and a political movement dedicated to domination of the entire world. It is the opposite of personal freedom. It is for rule by Sharia Law without exception. It will use whatever means are necessary to conquer including war. Look back through the centuries. Evidence is clear.
Now today look at what has happened and is happening in Europe. European countries with Christian foundations are being destroyed by illegal Islam believing immigrants. Soon Europe will not be recognizable unless those countries take drastic action to remove (deport) all Muslim immigrants.
We cannot let happen in the United States of America what has and is happening in Europe. It is time to identify and deport all who do not embrace the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights, speak English, and embrace our country’s traditions and customs. It is time to deport all illegal aliens whatever their beliefs.
We have been warned that Western Civilization is at risk. And, yes, the US Constitution guarantees a right to practice one’s religious faith, but it does not grant a right to dominate.
The time for bold and strong action is now.
