The all-male women’s pool final
spiked-online ^

Posted on 04/08/2025 10:54:04 AM PDT by algore

This is what the endgame of trans ideology looks like: an all-male final of a women’s pool championship.

Last night, the UK’s Ultimate Pool Women’s Pro Series Event 2 in Wigan had its final match. This women’s pool event wouldn’t ordinarily have grabbed the headlines, except for one curious detail: this year, there were no women in the final.

It was played between two transgender-identified men – Harriet Haynes and Lucy Smith.

They had defeated four female opponents each before making it to the final, which Haynes ultimately won. Broadcaster Piers Morgan took to X to call the incident ‘preposterous’ and ‘cheating bullshit’.

Meanwhile, former Olympic swimmer Sharron Davies described it as ‘bloody ridiculous and grossly wrong in every way’.

To make matters worse, Haynes already has multiple women’s championship titles under his (sizeable) belt. In 2023, he prevailed in the Women’s Champion of Champions final in Prestatyn, Wales, not because he outperformed the other players, but because his opponent refused to compete against him.

Lynne Pinches, an actual woman, forfeited her shot at the national title. She said that ‘whenever you play a transgender player, even if you win, it doesn’t make any difference because, in your heart, you know it’s unfair’. Haynes won the match by default.

While it’s true that, in pool, the difference between men and women might not be as pronounced as in other, more physically demanding sports, men do still have some biological advantages.

These differences – though hotly disputed by delusional trans activists – are obvious to anyone with eyes. The chief issue being that anyone who has gone through male puberty will have, on average, a much wider wingspan and be much taller than someone who hasn’t.

As Pinches has explained, ‘they have a longer reach, and a lot of them are taller than us’, making it easier for men to make shots with greater power and speed.

Not a peep from feminists. Men are better women than women are.

Haynes: Well Smith, it’ now between you and I, may the best man win... er, well, you know.

Smith: perhaps the others can make us some sammiches.

Haynes & Smith, couple of screwballs are probably good at pocket pool.

The New Uber-Liberal Feminisim twist - Even men are better at being women than women.

'two transgender-identified men'

As I've said before, we need an accurate definition of what a 'transgendered' person actually is and represents. It seems to be simply a matter of 'identifying' or simply saying so. It doesn't seem to have any other identifying traits or requirements to fulfill, than that.

I don't know how we can possible take that seriously, any more than saying a White person who 'identifies' as Black *is* actually black.

This is so stupid. It mocks and destroys women.

It’s not like physical strength was much of a factor, so maybe men really are better than women ...

Pool Final

Oh, you mean the game, not the swimming pool.

Pool is a game of skill and focus, not a sport, and I can see no advantage to a male over a female in it. I’ve seen barroom women beat guys at pool regularly, back when barrooms around here had pool tables.

So a couple of fags pretending to be girls shouldn’t matter much.

The Left lies and claims to support women while they clearly side with men taking over women's sports.

Advertisers make so little money in women's sports that they're willing to embrace any controversy to increase viewership.

Back in the day, Gloria Steinem used to claim that the best man for the job was a woman.

These days the best man for the job is a woman who is really a man pretending to be woman.

You’ve come a long way, baby.

Interestingly, women cannot really compete against men even in chess.
Judit Polgár, the best female chess player ever, was rated #8 in the world at her very best!
