Just asking a question...

While shopping the other day, I received a quarter in change after paying my bill.  It was a fairy new quarter (2024) and featured a lady on the back -- Patsy Mink Takemoto. I was not familiar with this woman, so I looked her up on Google.  It seems that she was from Hawaii and served in the US House of Representatives for 24 years. She was a democrat, and the first "woman of color and the first Asian-American elected to congress." 

OK.  That's cool. But then I noticed something -- the Google write-up said she was known as a champion for "women's rights and education." I also noticed on the coin that the paper she is holding has a reference to Title IX.

So, my question is ... where would she (as a democrat, as a champion for equal opportunity for women, as a Title IX proponent - see the coin, above) have stood on the question of banning men from competing in women's sports? 

She died in 2002.  If she were alive and serving today, would she have toed the line with others of her party just because she was told to do so? Would she have abandoned her Title IX beliefs of equal opportunity for girls and women to compete fairly only with other girls and women?  Guess we'll never know.

Ms. Takemoto is long since gone, but the answer to my question isn't. 
 

Follow the science.
