Congresswoman Ilhan Omar’s comments have gotten her into hot water recently, but she also said something that largely slipped under the radar – that it’s a “myth” and “unscientific” that transgender women have a “direct competitive advantage” in women’s powerlifting. Omar wrote a letter to USA Powerlifting after it refused to let a transgender women enter a Minnesota competition. “I urge you to reconsider this discriminatory, unscientific policy and follow the example of the International Olympic Committee,” she said. “The myth that transgender women have a ‘direct competitive advantage’ is not supported by medical science, and it continues to stoke fear and violence against one of the most at-risk committees in the world.”

If the M->F trans doesn’t have an advantage then what is the point of competing? Every competitor looks for an edge.

No, it’s a sharia question. Also, as I asked on another site, which member of her staff is the male relative whose function it is to keep other males away from her?

[McQ444]

That's a very valid question! No has actually brought that to her attention, I wonder what answer she will come up with to get herself out of that one without offending her fellow Muslim.

Question to ask a jihadi. Would muhammed hit it if it was a tranny ?

If, and only if, it was under the age of 12.

Couldn’t get anything wrong right.

Science, genetics, reality, truth, this moron is so stupid calling her a moron is an insult to morons. She and that other twit A.O.C are in a race for most imbecilic democrat of the decade, and you would have thought mad Max was a shoe in!

[Midwesterner53]

She really is an idiot.

[sphinx]

This is so obviously baloney, how could anyone believe anything she says?

The narrative trumps facts. The left has operated on this principle for many years.

[Trumpisourlastchance]

Why is this Jihadist warrior venturing into freakdom? It does not advance Islam or the Prophet’s influence in the world.

[Tommy Revolts]

I’ll take that bet.

[libstripper]

I’d like to see her do any power lifting.

[adorno]

It’s not a myth that she’s ignorant, uneducated, dumb, naive, lacking in common-sense, and a supporter of all things that would be destructive to the U.S.

Must be the product of in-breeding.

I identify as a kindergartner. I deserve free kindergarten education, including snacks and naps, every day.

Building Fantasyland by denying one truth at a time.

[savedbygrace]

She is a liar. She lies often.

[I want the USA back]

Good. I hope that millions of men claim to be women and compete against women and trounce them. Keep it up. Do it. Do not stop. You will win and you will not be stopped. So rake in the bucks.

Just maybe, maybe, women will complain enough and be listened to, but I doubt it. Specially privileged government-certified victim groups always win in the end.

[lerker]

liberals love science until it contradicts their BS

[libstripper]

C’mon. His skeletal structure is male, his muscle mass and structure is male, his hormone balance is male. Dudes a male, has always been male, will always be male.

The proper generic term for all such “procedures” is “Mengelization” in honor if Josef Mengle, the Nazi “doctor” who pioneered them at Auschwitz.

This guy made a mockery of this idea.
