"Sex is a biological fact, not an ideological whim." Owens Debates Bill Protecting Children

Published | Video Starts at 00:11

I'd like to start my comments with a simple truth. There are only two sexes, male and female. Sex is a biological fact, not ideological whim. Yet among and across the school across our country, School districts are actively pushing radical gender ideology on children, in some cases facilitating social transitions without parents' knowledge or consent. I grew up at a time when most Americans like me knew what a boy was and what a girl was, and this was not ever controversial. (00:11–00:23)
