Abigail Spanberger, former member of Congress and candidate for governor of Virginia, has kept rather quiet about her career in the Central Intelligence Agency. As people should know, that could have something to do with her mixed signals on trans ideology. Last month, reporters asked Spanberger if she supported “transgender women” playing in female sports and using female restrooms. The Democrat replied:
So in Virginia, until very recently we have had a process in place where on an individual, one-by-one basis, schools, principals, parents, coaches were making decisions based on fairness, competitiveness and safety, where a child might be able or might not be able to play in a particular sport.
When reporters pressed the case, Spanberger said, “I would support a bill that would put clear provisions in place that provide a lot of local ability for input, based on the age of children, based on the type of sport, based on competitiveness.” And so on—a classic nonanswer.
Opponents have cited Spanberger’s vote against the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act, which restricted “transgender women” and girls from competing in female sports categories. The Virginia Democrat also supported the Equality Act, which sought to make gender identity and sexual orientation a protected class. On that theme, Rep. Spanberger had plenty of company, but her zeal for trans ideology may flow from a different source.
