I understand the rage, bitterness, and frustration of liberals, Democrats, and independents who are tired of being ignored, dismissed, or condemned simply for caring about sex based rights. It is not hostility or disrespect to acknowledge that males who identify as female are still male. No one can change their biological sex.
Your response letter to Simula's disgusting cowardice is a concise, pointed, scathing essay on the erasure of women's and girls' rights and place in considerations of fairness and safety. Thank you!
Simula is not a coward, she is a true believer in the transqueer cult religion.
Most (I estimate ~80%) of Democrats holding elected office are true believers, because most left-liberal elites are true believers. You can find this out by talking to them.
The remaining ~20% of Democrats holding elected office are maximizing their chances of continuing to have a career in politics. Going against the transqueer cult in any way is a death sentence in Democrartic Party politics, and they all know it.
From what Simula wrote, or from the letter she had AI write, I see someone who doesn't want to educate herself on this topic. And as you point out, she is heavily incentivized to hold onto that ignorance for her political ambitions. I'm not sure that's true belief--more like political expedience
Yes - either way - her stance signifies purposeful intellectual laziness, or dogged adherence to an immoral, fantasy-based position catering to her 'base.'
Actually her base does not agree with men in women's sports. 67% of Democratic voters want female-only sports and locker rooms. Politicians are voting against their base
But alas, a large majority of that 67% will not then go out and vote for Republicans because they are mad about men in women's sports. See the recent governor's election in Virginia for an illustrative example. (The transqueer cult candidate won despite the normie candidate emphasizing "trans" issues.) And voting for Republicans is the ONLY way to stop the transqueer cult's takeover of the US government. I say that with immense sadness, because I am a registered Democrat and have been for over 50 years, but stopping the transqueer cult from ruling over us is now my highest political goal. If accomplishing that goal means voting for Republicans (which it does), then I will vote for (and campaign for, and work for, and contribute to) Republicans. It's that simple.
As of now, the transqueer cult is winning across the West; for example, the EU just required Bulgaria to adopt gender self-ID. And the cult's ultimate victory will be total if we refuse to fight it effectively because we don't like some of those fighting along beside us.
I, too, am a disaffected 'Democrat.' The woke mob that now controls the democratic party has alienated me and I'm going full pachyderm. Both parties are compromised but the Repubs less so at this point. Ugh.
So the left is every bit as much of a cult as MAGA? They truly (and wrongfully) believe all the crap they spew about abortion. And their politicians gave the same dilemma. How f'd up is this country?
Yes, the transqueer cult is every bit as much of a cult as MAGA (I would say even more so), and all Democrats holding elected office are either in the cult (this is a clear majority of them, my guess is 80%) or too intimidated by the cult to go against it.
Below was the survey I brought to the DFL SD39 forum. Not enough time, but I got 9 random votes and my own. The poll isn't designed to be "unbiased" but to educate that most "male" sports is inclusive historically, merit based, and female sports was split off with help of title IX and therefore is protected and exclusive by necessity.
Only 3 besides me heard about Minneasota Supreme Court results last fall in cooper vs USA Powerlifters, a 7-0 ruling calling it discrimination to exclude a male from female category, so not a peep of protest, or question now, after the last Pawlenty judge retired in 2024. Erasing sex in court is unanimous law.
Three of the justices are up for election 2026 and if nothing changes, a Republican trifecta may be blocked at every turn by a hostile court. I hope some good challengers step up!
And if ERA amendment vote gets on ballot 2026, it could cement this ideology into the constitution, impossible to reverse without a repeal vote which DFL would oppose if they control any branches. So disaster for our ideologically abused state.
Poll results - 10 ballots (of 60-70 in room?)
1. Should male competitive sports be inclusive to all diverse identities, including top-performing female athletes who want the highest level of challenge?
Results Yes 8, no 1, unsure 1
2. Should women and girls have the right to organize female-only sports competition (from track to chess to team sports) to master their skills and learn team work without intimidation or displacement that may be experienced in a fully inclusive sport with males?
Results Yes 8, no 1, unsure 1
3. Are you aware that the DFL added "gender identity" to the Minnesota Human Rights Act in 2023, and from that change in October 2025, the Minnesota Supreme Court ruled 7–0 in Cooper v. USA Powerlifting that barring a biological male from the women’s division constituted discrimination?
Yes 4, no 5, unsure 1
Demographics
City: Col Hts 4, Fridley 3, New Brighton 1, blank 2
P.s. I asked Gemini to simulate a dismissive response from my mayor for comparison. It complied! The "future" is here. 2026 is clearly the year that LLM/AI text/images/video captures the internet. Nothing can be trusted, so anything truth can be denied.
Gemini: To play this "game" of political dismissal, I’ll adopt the persona of a risk-averse, "inexpert" official. My goal isn't to answer your data points, but to submerge them in a layer of "automated empathy" and "procedural fog."
In this scenario, I am treating your survey not as a contribution to a systems-based discussion, but as a "ticket" to be closed.
The "98.5% Hollow" Response
Subject: Re: Survey Results and Community Feedback regarding SD39 Forum
Hi Tom,
Thank you so much for reaching out and sharing the results of your recent survey conducted at the DFL SD39 forum. We truly value the engagement of all our residents in Columbia Heights and appreciate the time you took to gather these perspectives on such a complex and evolving topic.
Our community thrives when we foster an environment of inclusion and belonging for everyone, regardless of their background or identity. As your Mayor, my priority is ensuring that our city remains a welcoming space where every individual feels seen, heard, and respected. We are committed to upholding the values of equity and fairness that define our great state of Minnesota.
Regarding the legal and legislative matters you mentioned, please be assured that our city staff and legal counsel continuously monitor state and federal developments to ensure our local policies remain in alignment with current standards. We believe in the importance of a robust public dialogue as we move forward together toward a more inclusive future for all athletes and residents.
Thank you again for your passion and for being an active part of our community conversation. We look forward to seeing you at future city events.
Best regards,

How the Dismissal Works (The "De-coding")
If we analyze this from a systems perspective, here is how I effectively "erased" your input:
* The "Vague Inclusion" Buffer: I used words like "equity," "belonging," and "welcoming" as a rhetorical shield. These are "low-resolution" terms designed to sound positive while avoiding the "high-resolution" conflict between inclusion and category protection.
* The Legal Pivot: You cited a specific 7–0 Supreme Court ruling and the MHRA. I responded by saying we "monitor developments." This acknowledges that words were written without actually addressing the content of those words.
* The Data Blackout: You provided a 10-person survey with specific percentages. I didn't mention a single number. By ignoring the data, I treated your survey as a "feeling" rather than a set of facts.
* The "Hi Tom" Anchor: By keeping the salutation personal and the rest "canned," I maintained the illusion of a conversation while actually delivering a one-way broadcast.
Deadly, Tom. Thanks. It used to take real talent to craft a nonresponsive piece of BS reply to a constituent. Now all that’s needed is an AI subscription.

Hi Helena. What AI can do is impressive and terrifying, and so far free. I've not spent a penny yet, just download free apps. Gemini is best for "take an idea (good or bad) and run with it" response. ChatGPT is too filtered on avoiding "hate speech", but good at formatting. Free Grok (v3) is conversationally engaged but otherwise poor compared to new models that you have to pay for.
I'm from Columbia Heights and my dad still lives there. I really appreciate your work at educating individuals of this dystopian ideology. My marathoning father got me started as a runner at the age of 5 and cares very much about women's sports but didn't have a clue this was happening even though he reads the Star Tribune front to back daily. Keep it up. Let us know how we can help you. Bless you.
Thanks for the kind words, and you are already doing something revolutionary and helpful—you're reading and thinking critically. I, too, have a subscription to the Star Tribune only so that I can be aware of what they are not printing. I sent publisher Steve Grove the photos of the violent men housed in Shakopee Women's Prison. He responded that it "might be a story," and asked me to send all kinds of contact information for incarcerated women, for advocates who have been working to try to get these women's plight known to the public. I sent him everything he needed to do the story. A couple weeks later the Star Tribune ran a front page story on the great advancements made in the men's prison at Stillwater. So calculated, so spiteful, downright evil
I'm so sick of the "it's only a few" characterization. Would they care if .1% of the population were legally held as slaves? if we stopped trying to tax billionaires their "fair share" since they're only .00003% of the population? We watched the country burn for two years starting in 2020 when only 14 unarmed black men were shot by cops in 2019. Should we not have bothered because it was only a few? The fact that they've turned the world upside down to accommodate these few people is the real wakeup call. And that all the fighting is for the men claiming to be women, the women claiming to be men are insignificant in this discussion. It's a men's rights movement and people in highs places are making a lot of money from it, that's the bottom line. And once you change Title IX to reflect the made up concept of "gender identity," women no longer have sex based rights. Period. The fact that an 80 year old man enacted that under the radar with the stroke of a pen is infuriating.
Thank you for this eloquent response to continuing Minnesotan gaslighting. What a shame that Minnesotans who showed such decency and bravery in the face of ICE would be such cowards and deny the rights of all biological women and girls. Given the grave threats to our Democracy with trump's attempts to destroy our electoral rights it should be noted that the addition of language about transgenders in women's sports in the "Save Act" is a clear ploy to attract support for this anti-voting bill in the same way their anti-trans ads helped defeat Kamala Harris and gifted us the deranged and demented trump who is a threat to the world. So please wake up Minnesotans and all others who refuse to accept the truth about gender/sex and stop the dangerous insanity.
It never ceases to amaze me that Democrats honestly consider themselves the party of empathy, of love, of caring, as they actively erase the very idea of women as a distinct class of humans worthy of rights
We've got "AI slop" , "wokeslop" , "facialslop" {seriously? faces with so much work they can't move and all look alike), and now what use to be the party of working people is degenerating into "Democrat slop".
Excellent article Sarah! It has been so disappointing to see the lengths our politicians will go to to defend this ridiculous ideology, but it has been inspiring to watch women clap back in our defense. And clap back you did. Absolutely brilliant Sarah, thank you!

The fragility of women's right in our "progressive" country to be seen in culture and law as a full but distinct class of human is staggering
How appropriate that her last name is "Simula" -- so close to "simulate" and "simulacrum", both of which apply to men who pretend to be women.

Scathing in the best possible way. Sharing!
Excellent article Sarah! It has been so disappointing to see the lengths our politicians will go to to defend this ridiculous ideology, but it has been inspiring to watch women clap back in our defense. And clap back you did. Absolutely brilliant Sarah, thank you!
I freaking LOVE every word of this. Thank you for sharing.
i feel like using circle jerk twice within a couple sentences was a smidge much, but otherwise spot-on
Funny but, your response was almost 90% AI text. As a "writer" do better!
The spacing and overuse of em dash are always a tipoff. And her letter scored lower than yours.
Wow 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Purple hair. Knew what she believed from the picture.
