In July of last year, about a week before the Summer Olympics began, Andrew Fox posted a blog on his website. He was writing, he said, as a sincere advocate for women’s rights in sports.

Part of a blog series exploring the “woke uprising” from a Biblical perspective, Fox, a protestant minister and chaplain, used the new post to critique the growing trend of biological men transitioning and competing in sports as women. “The issue,” he wrote, “is about gender identity and how ridiculous it is becoming.”
