Washington Times ^ | July 15, 2019 | Vixtor Morton

The transgender conquest of women’s sports continued over the weekend as a New Zealand weightlifter took home multiple gold medals at the 2019 Pacific Games in Samoa.

Laurel Hubbard won two gold medals and a silver in the three heavyweight categories, for women weighing more than 87 kilograms, or 192 pounds, finishing first in the snatch-lift and combined categories and second in the clean-and-jerk.

Until a man’s brain can be scooped out and placed into a freshly cloned/bioprinted female body, these sports she-manigans are just that... shenanigans...

“because there may or may not be a slightly greater percentage of women voting for democrat candidates than men.”

Oh okay.

Whatever, lol.

Time have four sports categories:

Men’s sports for real (xy) men.
Women’s sports for real (xx) women.
Trans-men’s sports for tranny she-hes.
Trans-women’s sports for tranny he-shes.

These weidos have become privileged beyond reality AND it is the fault of government.

They're going to have to start using chromosome results as the criteria if sports are to continue.

U.S. weightlifting organizations are the only ones who have stood up against this so far. They have refused ti recognize transgender weightlifter records. For bow, anyway.

This whole nonsense has always been about harming women — but liberal women are too dense to see past the trees.

Men don’t care if a woman is in their bathroom. Women do care if a man is in their bathroom.

Men don’t care if a woman showers in their locker room. Women do care if a man showers in their locker room.

Men don’t care if a woman attempts to compete in their sport (most will never make it). Women do care if a man competes in their sport.

If you’ll notice, the main path of “transition” is male to female. There are very few examples the other way (”Chas” Bono is an uncommon exception). Young boys are forced into it by abusive parents — usually overbearing mothers. Older men transition to it through a disturbed or abused upbringing or mental illness. In the end, though, it’s the female tradition and person-hood that suffers. Very little of it affects men directly.

And make no mistake — this IS a mental illness. No different than anorexia. Like anorexia, a person looks into a mirror and sees someone different than who they are. Both afflictions lead to misery, suicide, and death. I would challenge anyone to find one who is comfortable in their own skin as a “transitioned” human being. But yet, like the mentally ill homeless in liberal cities we are told to look the other way — accept them as is. Don’t try to help them.

This is really a tragedy that we will come to grips with at some point. In the meantime people will continue to suffer under the boot of liberal “help” and “compassion”.

The official agencies simply need to switch the categories from Men’s and Women’s to XX and XY.

Problem solved.

Someone needs to ask Megan Rappinoe how she feels about this.

Will she man up and take Martina Navratilova’s side on the ridiculousness of men pretending to be men, or go full SJW wuss and deny reality?

(Btw, these stories always remind me of Johnny Mac’s accurate assessment of Serena William’s possible ranking in the men’s game: under 500.)

I believe that the pendulum always swings back. It’s just Nature.

When you can’t really DO anything about something, it’s relaxing to sit back, in faith, and just watch the wheels turn. (And it’s good advice, when the enemy is digging itself into a hole, to just let them go at it.)

Not necessarily. As a teacher, I've seen too many high school and college girls "transition" to "men."

While a few may make it into Tarjet mens bathrooms and on Oprah for being a "man having a baby", just about all of them won't be making any headlines for taking first place away from the boys.

But, sadly, they're out there.

A war is brewing between the Feminists and the Transgenders. I need to get some popcorn.

Gavin looks like he can do a mean snatch-lift.

Women did this. No pity. I can’t wait for the Olympics when men win men’s and women medals. Will they learn then?????
