If you're going to be a trans
figure skater, helps to know how to skate.

You might have seen this video from a Finnish figure skating event over the weekend when it went viral. If not, it’s 46 of the most painful seconds you’ll ever witness because it’s all real.
I’m not usually the kind of person to jump all over someone who’s publicly humiliated themselves (politicians excluded, of course), and that’s not what I’m going to do today to poor Markku-Pekka Antikainen.
Antikainen is a 59-year-old man who at age 50 decided he was trans and wanted to train as a figure skater. Figure skaters usually begin somewhat younger, more than 40 years younger. Antikainen performs, if we can call it that, under the name Minna-Maaria Antikainen.
It should come as no surprise that Antikainen skates like someone who got started very late in life because he did. He has the build of a farmer, not a skater, because he actually is a farmer.
Nevertheless, Antikainen was chosen as the headline act in a “diversity” showcase at the opening ceremony of the ISU European Figure Skating Championships last week.
There’s nothing wrong with diversity. There’s everything wrong with putting a 59-year-old farmer who can barely skate out there as an “ice princess.”
Give some small kudos to Antikainen for having the balls to go out there, even though he had to know that he would look exactly like what he is: A 59-year-old man in a sparkly dress who can’t skate very well.
Antikainen’s true humiliation didn’t come until after he’d fallen. That’s when an actual woman — an actual ice princess, who must have been half his weight — had to help him up off his knees. That unnamed skater demonstrated genuine feminine strength and grace, unlike Finland’s mock ice princess.

Watching these trans/drag people is like watching drunks dressed-up in bad Halloween costumes parade themselves in the streets
And we are supposed to cheer for it??
Even the gay drama queen male figure skaters cringed at that performance.
Radical feminists ...
It’s All on you for allowing this.
I was waiting for him to pull his rescuer down onto the cold wet ice with him. Accidentally, of course. If that had happened it would have been classic slapstick. The reverent audience would be excused for laughing out loud.
He should have had a Walker.
Knowing the full story, seeing that photo, I now wonder if the whole thing was staged.
Well we have a SCOTUS judge who does not know the difference between a man and a woman.
Has it met Tanya Harding yet?
Are we sure Finland isn’t trolling the world?
True satire at its finest.
Ugly and evil and disgusting.
It’s one thing to be kind to the mentally ill and refrain from needlessly hurting their feelings. It’s another thing altogether to take part in their delusions. I’m fine with the former. The Left insists on the latter.
We make a mockery of FreeRepublic discussing this sick shit.
Condemn it and move on . . . we're trying to save a nation here, not read supermarket tabloids.
