The Tide Is Turning Against Big Trans
Commentary.org ^ | 3/24/23 | Abe Greenwald

World Athletics (WA) announced Thursday that athletes who have gone through male puberty would be barred from competing with biological females in world rankings competitions. “As more evidence becomes available, we will review our position,” said WA president Sebastian Coe in a statement, “but we believe the integrity of the female category in athletics is paramount.”

These are weasel words. So pre-adolescent males who took
puberty blockers WILL be able to compete with
biological females?

The thing that makes boys aggressive and rumble tumble is the testosterone wash they get in the fetus. Even when girls have high t in childhood, they still don’t get that attribute.

Some hope of sanity indeed.
The idea that you can bend the soul by mutilating the body is as ancient as it’s insane. And modernity unfortunately has the means to put insanity on steroids.

Great question - taking this position will make the trans-pushers double down on going after younger and younger “candidates”. The fact is, boys are boys, men are men, girls are girls, women are women. No actual changes are possible - only pretend ones.

Oh, and pretend changes can be an adult decision, but minors are not qualified to make that adult decision.

“...we will review our position”

What is wrong with saying “FOREVER”? What is there to review in the future? I hate weasels.

WA president Sebastian Coe said “but we believe the integrity of the female category in athletics is paramount.”

Yeah, but you don’t believe strongly enough to PERMANENTLY ban women from female athletics.

If this is an example of pushback against “Big Trans” then we are done for.

I HATE weasels.

The big T is what makes us dudes who we are. It’s why we think we can do stupid stuff when we’re young….and even older.

Given how confused some people are, we should separate sports into those with penises. and those without.

This is a good start. It will stop 90% of the current craziness. And it establishes a beach head from which to stop the remaining 10%.

Let these freak weirdos have their own leagues. I can’t think of a clever name right now. I need help.

The next step is a Congressional investigation of who has been funding the Trans insanity.

Let us get some names.

Then get rid of their nonprofit foundations and other organizations.

Then go after their businesses with antitrust.

They need to pay reparations to us.

It is crazy that we even have to have these discussions, but that’s the world we live in.

I’ve heard that there are some lawsuits pending over these transgender issues. And the lawsuits would be based on the idea of that it is a civil rights violation if you discriminate against so-called transgender people.

Stay tuned.

The only reason for athletic groups to take this stance is that trans athletes are no longer of use to the revolution.

“...athletes who have gone through male puberty...”

This is talk around. You cannot change a gender, only mutilate a body. So if it’s a boy, he will have puberty as a male gender no matter what they try to change him into. Neither hormones nor intellectual (?) theory can determine gender, God does. All this puberty thing does is redefine an outlet to change what God did as man continues his agenda. Slippery slope created.

Should’ve been done no later than 2017-18. Sessions and Barr didn’t agree

All it will take is for normal people to ADAMANTLY REFUSE to participate in the trans nonsense. The ONLY option for such deranged persons is mental therapy or committal for the worst cases. Normal people should not be forced to accommodate the insane in any other capacity. If they call you names, laugh out loud at them, but hold to your position. They hate that!

I was listening to a doctor talk on the subject of sex changes. He said that if puberty was interrupted then that person would NEVER have an orgasm. It was the only time I ever heard this, but you’d think the subject should be front and center since “transitioning” is supposed to provide satisfaction. As far as I’m concerned, no orgasm, no satisfaction. Oh, and the suicide rate amongst transitioned persons if fifty percent. (Stats vary by source. See link.)

That’s how I feel about public schools, AKA indoctrination camps!

Isn't testosterone an amazing thing? It makes us contentious and energetic. It makes us challenge the rules and established norms. It drives us to do risky things and expand the boundary of what's possible. Testosterone is a double edged sword that is absolutely vital to improving the state of human happiness. In short, testosterone is required for progress ... which makes it more than ironic that so-called progressives would do away with it if they had their way.
