[If they were really inclusive, they’d have 57 gender categories - just saying]

It is too much to ask for a pool with 57 lanes?

I mean.......

Also give them their own locker room so they can’t stare at the woman. That would put a nail in their coffin.

Women come in all shapes, sizes, abilities, interests.

I could see some women who might like to compete against men to see how they’d stack up.

I have no prob with that as long as it’s in an open competition.

This will send the men who specifically go in for this insanity off the deep end (pun intended), as the only reason they do this is to beat the women!

I have yet to see much of the other side - that is, women pretending they’re men, inserting themselves into men’s sports and competitions. Gee, I wonder why that is.

And will the locker rooms and showers be open to both sexes as well?!?

Regardless, the World Aquatics officials demonstrate they have their Hotels jammed up their collective Alphas when they continue to use the woketardian term, “transgender.”

There was a big fanfare when a transgender was invited onto the Harvard men’s swim team.

From Wikipedia: “[Schuyler Miwon Hong Bailar was] the first publicly documented NCAA D1 transgender man to compete as a man in any sport... originally recruited in 2013 as a member of the women’s team..., after transitioning during a gap year, Bailar was also offered a spot on the men’s team.”

Between this being written in a rather covert style and my lack of understanding of how swimming places are determined, all I can say is that Bailar apparently ended up with a good breaststroke time on the men’s team.

Growing up in the local county swim league we used to call them the Wednesday Night ‘B’ Meets.

If you didn’t get to swim on Saturday, you had another opportunity for a ribbon on Wednesday night.

The ridiculousness of mass cognitive dissonance… Fun to watch.

But it will shine a light on the issue. The men clearly will beat any woman who joins the open category and the obvious hesitancy of women joining the “open” category will display how silly this all is.

What doesn’t send them into a rage? With any luck all the anger they display will eventually wear thin with the normals and then nobody will listen to them anymore.

I suppose. I don’t really have a problem with it either. If everyone, regardless of gender, want to jump in a pool and compete, so be it. I just don’t see it working. I just see a lot of the trans angle being men stealing medals from women. Hypothetically, say you have 32 people competing in qualifying events for an eight lane final. 8 men, 8 women, 8 trans men, 8 trans women. Based on time alone, the odds you end up with a final heat with a pool full of men would be pretty high.

Over time, I’d think trans competitors would be weeded out by men just as they would be in a men-only category. It’s an idea destined for lots of unintended consequences in my opinion.

The tranny idiots will not accept this and will inevitably compare themselves to blacks who had to deal with separate but equal policies.

Why not just change the rules and categories in all sports and contests to "Biological Male Competitions" and "Biological Female Competitions"?

(We know that is redundant to normal people but libtards and Woke Warriors are insufferable hair splitters and pickers of nits)

Sexual deviates, perverts, cross dressers and other democrats can call themselves what they will but chromosomes rule !!!

Trannies should have a “mentally-ill category” to compete in.

Why does no one have the nerve to tell them to pound sand?

It’s a great idea. It completely takes away the thing that was attractive to the trannies. Namely the chance to force themselves on women and unfairly win against them. And it does so while using the language of accommodation.

This will force trannies to complete against each other, which they never wanted in the first place. So the category will essentially collapse due to lack of interest by them.

Tyrus was on Gutfeld last night and said that if he or another bigger and stronger man beat the pretend woman this nonsense would stop...
