You’re all registering this incorrectly:

I’m ROFLMAO at the fact that they’re having to deal with their own fallout and fight among themselves.

Let ‘em fight; it’s great entertainment.

Left wing women have helped bring this on themselves. No sympathy here.

It is STILL a small number...

There are nearly 8 million boys and girls competing in high school athletics...

How many trannies do you think it will take to completely stop girls athletics???

I mean, I understand where y’all are coming from...I think ONE is one too many, but I doubt there will be enough to wipe out girls athletics...

Just my opinion....

What really should be interesting is when the transgenders want to join the girls swim team-——the bathing suits barely hide anything.

Answer to this is simple. In falls into the category of equal pay for equal work. Just no longer separate contenders by sex. All contestants compete at the same time. If you are the best you win. Anyone against this must be a sexist.

Well now they’re in a crack. The libs have argued that women are as capable as men when it comes to ranger school...didn’t they?

It is more than just this case. It is happening across the board, across the nation.

Female athletes crushed by ‘women who were once men’

"...The cream rises to the top,” Baker added. “Athletes now will tell you if you put UConn women on the court with men, UConn men might lose. It’s all in the spirit of competition, hard work and heart...”

I cannot remember reading a more unbelievably delusional statement in my life.

This has absolutely ZERO to do with the heart or desire or amount of hard work a female athlete puts in. This is not about disrespecting that effort. I know some people may read my post and think I am a misogynist or that I disrespect women or don't thing they have talent. Nothing could be further from the truth. But when it comes to women in the physical space as described below, people need to FACE the truth.

But in the physical arena, women CANNOT compete against men. They simply cannot. Men have the advantage of naturally produced steroids which increase the muscle mass, increase the size of the athlete, and the strength and density of the bones.

To say that they can does a great disservice to women, and to have them competing head to head with a boy who is in high school who is mentally ill and "identifies" as a female is both cruel and unfair.

And the media, advertising, and entertainment industries bombards them with this fantasy, that if they work hard enough and have enough desire, they can defeat any male. They show a 130 lb woman kicking the snot out of five buffed and physically accomplished men. They target them with advertising that reinforces that, to the near complete exclusion of men. They show stories about some girl on a football team who might make the team as a kickers and laud her as as feminist icon.

If they limited it to this arena of athletic competition, that would be one thing.

But they don't, and that is the real danger.

There is a real push to put women in all combat billets in the military, and they have already done this in firefighting and police services. Those are bad, in my opinion, but it means occasionally individual people may die because the lack of upper body strength is a factor, which is unfortunate, but a price people are apparently willing to pay (until it is them)

In the military, this has far more serious ramifications, and it is where this is all leading to. If a firefighter cannot physically perform a task, a civilian or fellow firefighter may die. If a female police officer cannot subdue a larger, stronger male, she might get killed or the suspect may escape. Again, that is something people seem willing to accept.

But in combat, large groups of soldiers may be killed or captured, a warship lost, and battles and wars lost due to weak points.

I would encourage people to read this article by Jude Eden-"Jane of Trades", USMC on women in combat and training.

In particular, about halfway down is her seminal piece: Women in Combat: The Question of Standards, by Jude Eden. I cannot recommend this page highly enough, she served in the USMC in the Middle East, honorably, in non-combat roles, and she knows of what she speaks.

Here, from that article, is the passage that says it all: "...Meanwhile, the argument to maintain the combat exclusion makes itself easily in every aspect. Including women in combat units is bad for combat, bad for women, bad for men, bad for children, and bad for the country.

The argument for the combat exclusion is provable all the time, every time.

Political correctness has no chance against Nature. Her victories are staring us in the face at all times.

The men just keep being able to lift more and to run faster, harder, and longer with more weight on their backs while suffering fewer injuries. They just keep never getting pregnant.

The combat units have needs that women cannot meet. Women have needs that life in a combat unit cannot accommodate without accepting significant disadvantage and much greater expense. Where 99 percent of men can do the heavy-lifting tasks typical of gunners, but 85 percent of women cannot, there is no gap women need to fill..."

And it isn't just the infantry, either. I watched a video of USMC artillery, and they were humping 155mm artillery shells off the back of a truck. They were pulling them off at chest height, duckwalking them over 15 yards, putting them on the ground, then going back and getting another one.

I think they are somewhere around 100 lbs per round.

Sure, there are women who could do that. But the average woman could not.

When in a combat situation, I can certainly imagine times where that nice loader and transporter thingie is not going to be available, or you are simply in a situation where you gotta move the rounds fast using a bunch of people.

To boil it down, my objection to women in combat is twofold: First, simple differences in physical capability and function between men and women, and Secondly, the effect on morale and logistics associated with military activity due to a mixing of the sexes in that environment.

But to get back to the context of this article: It is this lack of reality, of being unable to accept that women cannot do certain things head to head with men, that I think is culturally corrosive and destructive, and as it bears on the military...dangerous to the women who are going to serve in combat, the men who will serve with them and most of all, to our country that is going to have to depend on them.

When he hit puberty his natural testosterone fueled his muscles with massive growth. If those girls had been given that much testosterone at the same time they would have been disqualified for doping.

Leftists are blind to irony.
