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.”

I want to see some KARMA, namely that the purple-haired-lesbo-flag-kneeling-Trump-hating women’s soccer team gets taken over by trannies or defeated by a tranny team.

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.

Richard Dawkins declares there are only two sexes as matter of science!!:

World Athletics on Thursday announced its decision to exclude transgender female athletes who have been through male puberty from world rankings competitions. …

Dawkins immediately discredited the entire movement by saying, “It’s bullying.”

Mentioning famous people who have been demonized for going against these activists, the renowned researcher added, “And we’ve seen the way J.K. Rowling has been bullied, Kathleen Stock has been bullied. They’ve stood up to it. But it’s very upsetting the way this tiny minority of people has managed to capture the discourse and really talk errant nonsense.”

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%.

Exactly. I think vitriol against this organization is unwarranted. In this day and age, they are making a brave statement that is surely going to get them attacked. Now is the time to link arms, not throw each other to the wolves.

“Let these freak weirdos have their own leagues.”

The first thing that will happen is the tranny “women” will complain that “not real tranny women” when they get beaten. They only want to join women’s sports because they know they can win.

It should be divided by XY and XX. They cut penises off guys and build them for chicks, plus the chicks take testosterone like the old Russion and German ladies used to do to complete in the Olympics until it became illegal.

When men act like men, the left condemns it.

When women act like women, the left condemns it.

When either men act like women or women act like men, the left lauds it and celebrates it as it it’s some great feat of accomplishment.

What an evil, twisted world we live in.

The ability to discriminate against these dangerous trans faggot perverts needs to be enshrined into every state constitution. They seek to destroy our morals and thereby our society.

Regardless of this article, which I didn’t bother reading, I believe the headline is correct: the woke trend toward wholesale public sympathy and acceptance of transexuals will be short-lived.

I’ve been predicting a backlash all along, based on the fact that the trans movement harms the most powerful “victim group” of all, namely Women.

Although there are girls wanting to be boys, there are a hundred times as many boys wanting to be girls - all wanting to participate in and enjoy the hard won benefits of womanhood as a protected class.

Like it or not, Western society gives women a handicap in all things. Normal, decent men are raised never to harm a woman, but rather to protect them - even to let them win arguments and physical fights, and let them have their way.

Many men will deny this, and many women will be be insulted by the idea that they are the “fairer” sex - the “weaker” sex. But it is true.

Sure, there are ways in which females are stronger - but like it or not, there is a handicap system that favors women, and ultimately, women are not going to give it up, nor will they share it with men just because they claim to be women.

Rainbow League? Only I hate how they have co-opted the rainbow. Maybe Frankenstein League?

If you have a Y chromosome, you should not be allowed to play in XX chromosome sports.

See how easy it is !

“In short, testosterone is required for progress ... “

Yes, agreed. I’ve had a couple of big “lightbulb moments” since the arrival in my life of my two grandsons. They are very different from each other, but they are both real boys. That is to say they are crazy maniacs a lot of the time. And always seek to wear as little clothing as possible!

Watching them play in the yard, the younger one especially, he’s one of the most determined persons I’ve ever seen. And I realized, this attitude is what got us out of the caves.

And watching the older one play basketball. It’s just a recreational league, I guess the players are in the 8-10 range. And having watched the boys’ mom, who is my daughter, play basketball competativley for many years, the difference was obvious immediately. The boys play much faster and harder than the girls do. It really hit me then why people want to watch the NBA much more than the WNBA.

>> Some hope of sanity indeed.

As usual, the Left went too far and decided to eviscerate female sports. Any rational individual would see that as an effective rape of all female athletes
