Default NBC's 'Quantum Leap' Reboot Promotes Biological Males in Female Sports

Last night, NBC's Quantum Leap reboot pushed a radical trans agenda, promoting inclusion of biological males in girls' sports and female locker rooms.

Monday's episode, "Let Them Play," was a full hour of trans propaganda. The show ignored, dismissed or derided the pain felt by young female athletes who have had their sports and privacy invaded by biological males.

The reboot, which premiered in September, is a new version of the classic 1980's show in which a scientist travels through spacetime, taking the place of others and correcting mistakes.

"Let Them Play" begins with the new scientist, Dr. Ben Song (Raymond Lee), leaping into the place of a 2012 high school basketball coach. He leaps into the middle of a game just as one of the players has suffered an injury. Song sends an alternate, Gia (Josielyn Aguilera), to play instead.

Controversy is soon ignited because it turns out the alternate is actually a biological male, a trans "woman." Gia is also the coach's child.

The rest of the show descends into a lecture about how Gia should be able to play and how amazing trans kids are. Opposition to Gia playing will only drive him closer to running away from home, it's alleged.

The fact that Gia cannot be in the same locker room as the biological girls on the team is portrayed as cruel. A mop falls on top of Gia in the janitor's closet where he changes.

A teammate's mother fights to keep Gia from playing.

"We had to fight for Title IX," the mother tells Gia's parents. "So I'm not gonna sit here as you take away women's sports because you think there's no difference between boys and girls."

But this concerned mother is portrayed as a cold, uptight Karen-like figure. Gia's own mother dismisses her concerns with the magic word, "inclusion."

In the end, Song succeeds in having Gia play as a full participant on the team and the female teammates all encourage Gia to change with them in their locker room.
