“Doonesbury”

 Monterey Herald, April 11, 2025

The April 6 Doonesbury comic strip is disgusting. Nobody is trying to ban transgenders on or off campus. In America, you can be anything you want to identify with, be it cute furry creatures or iconic science fiction characters. But when transgenders try to impose their values upon others, that is an entirely different story.

Men and women are biologically different. Men have more muscle mass than women. So, it is unfair to allow men to compete with women in sports. You would not put a 100-pound wrestler into the ring with a 300-pound contestant. Men beating up women in sports is neither fair nor liberating.

The Doonesbury cartoon strip is barking up the wrong tree. One wonders if they have lost their taste for Women’s Rights?
