“Psychotic Gender Dysphoria” is still listed as an accepted diagnosis.

When I worked on the Napa State Hospital forensic units back in the early 90s we had a patient who fell into this category. He was on a forensic unit because he was charged with extortion. He had severed his penis off in an attempt to extort his doctor into performing a sex change operation. He had to be closely watched... what was left of his manhood was retrieved from a toilet and reattached, he was constantly threatening to repeat the performance... so, yes, the 'psychotic' aspects of this are very real....

But…the PTB continue to push this crap!

And half the disgusting population continues to lap it up!

I hate these communists. All they are doing is using ANYTHING to undermine our great republic and turn it on its ear so they can make it communist.

Later in the article:

Change in sports doesn't happen overnight, nor is it linear. Major professional sports leagues like MLB and the NFL resisted racially integrating their player rosters. It was not until 1962 that the last NFL team, the Washington Commanders, would racially integrate. Moreover, athletes of color played in the NFL in the early years of the league, only to be excluded as the league developed.

I assume she is suggesting that women should be allowed to play in the NFL. I don't no of any rule, other than the laws of nature, that preclude women from competing. I'm not sure there are any women that could last one involved play without serious injury.

“According to the NCAA, these assumptions are not well founded. Moreover, there is a lack of scientific evidence that conclusively demonstrates a direct link between testosterone and athletic performance.”

They can repeat this hogwash all the want. Joe and Jill Six Pack still see that every time a rather unathletic looking trannie joins a woman’s sport, they win the gold, usually in their first season trying. That’s not going to change, and people are not going to somehow not notice...

Yes, you identified the next battlefield. Normals against paraplegics. Wise observation, FamiliarFace.

Given their logic of 2 + 2 = 3, how can you be opposed to someone who “identities” as a paraplegic.

No, this isn’t some fluke, this is the result of a long and purposeful trajectory to get us where we are today. It’s not going to go away in a decade; it will only get worse.

The NCAA is totally wrong with the Lia Thomas affair. He spent his time developing musculature under male hormones to adulthood. Testosterone suppression does not change that. He has the muscles of a man. They cannort change that. He is a man who did not do so well competing against men so he decided to cheat and compete against women. The NCAA decided to go with all the liberals in allowing him to compete against real females. That simply is not fair.

It’s not women’s sports anymore, if you let men compete in it.

Anyone who cares about the advancement of sports, and women's sports in particular, should celebrate her win.

Why?! Why should anyone celebrate it? Maybe they should ask the ACTUAL women whose records he is destroying, and whose titles he is stealing, how they feel about it. These people are demented.

over-educated

Perhaps the better phrase is "over-indoctrinated".

Actually the MLB (pro ball) had “athletes of color” (colored people) in the early days, which was VERY early compared to NFL. But they sure make a thing out of Jackie Robinson and 1947.

Generally this whole truth is never discussed. Wouldn’t want anyone to think early white people might be open-minded.

Back to your discussion - which is correct.

We have got to ask ourselves WHY the left is so obsessed with promoting the untruth that a woman can “become” a man and vice-versa. It’s not about rights. That is a distraction.

Back a few years there was a marvelously coordinated effort to normalize trans. The official start was the picture on vanity fair of bruce jenner dressed as a woman and with women’s hairstyling.

In less time than it takes for a fake eyelash to fall to the ground, they were passing laws that would criminalize the use of the “wrong” pronoun. The entire left fell into place. The lefter you were, the tighter you held on to the delusion.

Essentially all of academia now promotes transgenderism, and mandates the use of “preferred” pronouns.

Google changes the searchstring “bruce jenner” to “caitlin jenner.”

Men claim they are women and compete on womens’ teams.

There has got to to be a reason for all the energy they are expending on this, and it’s not inclusion, and it’s not “rights.”

It’s to eliminate the influence of Christianity and Judaism on the public, and eventually eliminate those religions.

The British sports council actually studied trans males vs biological females. The evidence is incontrovertible. The British Sports Council says basically you can be inclusive or you can be fair, but not both. The author is simply wrong. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2021/sep/29/new-guidelines-for-transgender-participation-unveiled-by-uk-sports-councils
