As Twitchy reported earlier, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis made even more liberal heads explode by signing a proclamation declaring Emma Weyant the best women’s swimmer in the NCAA 500-yard freestyle, a race that was awarded to transgender swimmer Lia Thomas. That’s made the news, and it presents quite a conundrum for headline writers. As Christina Pushaw notes, the Orlando Sentinel had to put “female” in quotation marks when describing Weyant, who is a female.
Gov. Ron DeSantis waded further into gender politics today, issuing a proclamation that said a swimmer from Sarasota is the nation’s best “female” in the 500-meter freestyle after she finished 2nd to a transgender athlete at the NCAA championship. https://t.co/pVSAUVn92a pic.twitter.com/c9zNgaaWtU

Uh, why is 'female' in quotes here? Emma is female; it is an undisputed fact. Florida media is truly going off the deep end this week. pic.twitter.com/Pd8GpSXIDH

I'd put the "competition" in quotes before "female".

Good point.
It’s not hard to see why Democrats can’t win statewide elections in Florida.

An actual female is questionable and a pretend female is legit. It's an upside down world

Because they are unable to accurately define female

Bc they can’t define “female” or else their worldview collapses 😃

Ironic, isn't it?
The real woman gets female in quotes, but the other thing is unequivocally female.
Big yikes.

So we’re supposed to refer to trans women as “women,” but to biological women as “cisgender women” to differentiate.
Stop being sexist, @OrlandoSentinel.

Mind games. It’s ALL mind games.

It's like these people never owned a pet.

They consider us fake females because we were not born with a penis.

The media sucks

The fact that the word "trans" need to be used to describe a "woman" is evidence they aren't the same. Emma is a woman

All the leftist propaganda media shills are long gone off the deep end. Today just happens to be "trans" week.

It would be considered hate speech if you referred to Lia Thomas as “female.”
LOL
Twister being an intellectual exercise is not really a sport. :o)
That's already been tried. She came in dead last.
“...the Orlando Sentinel had to put “female” in quotation marks when describing Weyant, who is a female.”
Did they EVER put quotes around either female or woman when describing the mentally ill “transgenders”?
Mockery is the sincerest form of insult...
Indeed-a Charlie Crist stronghold.
OK. I couldn’t resist. I did some research and found this.

Men DO perform better in pistol shooting than women by a small margin. BUT the number of male competitors is way larger than women. And drawing from a lager of pool of competitors may be the reason.
Now, what about Curling?
Yup. Did she even make the cut?
Oh, I can. To end this travesty for once and all. The power is in the hands of the females to end it if they stick together. They should all show up, all line up and when the whistle is blown - just stand there and cheer on the fake female. Once or twice of this and the show is over.
2 + 2 = 5
I’m not playing their games.
A MAN is a MAN and a WOMAN is a WOMAN.
Reminds me of what happened about forty years at a local Dairy Queen.
This feminine young thing came up to the window and I placed an order, then paid for it.
A short time later this feminine thing motioned to me and I picked up my order and said “Thank you mam!”
Response from the feminine young thing was “HEY! I’M A GUY!”
My response: “Oh sorry about that. I couldn’t tell.”
Back then boys were dressing so feminine you really could not tell!
Someone should start a give-send-go for this Emma Weyant gal who has been so wronged!
A million bucks and the acknowledgement of the donors that she is indeed the rightful winner couldn’t hurt.
:-)
Michelle Malkin started Twitchy. She sold it, but they still have her conservative flavor. They choose Tweets for their articles.
If they put quotes around transgender “woman,” they’d be mercilessly attacked by trans-activists.
I saw a tweet today, saying something like “Mao: construction is destruction. Beware of them.”
Liberals and their fake phony mentally deranged bubbles don’t even know the difference between a real man and real woman 🤪
They should be shunned and castigated for the complete ignorant morons they are.
“Now, what about Curling?”
The “woke” crowd would just complain that women are being made to sweep like housewives.
WTH?
A person is born with XY and thus born with frank & beans, decide at some point the person decides they don’t want the frank & beans. That makes them XY without the frank & beans (but not in this case as the transgender swimmer still has frank & both beans). XY = MALE. XX = FEMALE.
Now, if you’re XY, cut off your frank & beans, and get a garage made for you, but you still don’t want to be called FEMALE?
What the hell do they want to be called, mutilated dudes? Cuttadickoffame’s? Addadicktome’s? What?
