Female Track Runner Sidelined By Male Competitors Petitions The Department Of Education For Justice

It’s striking how quickly the culture can change. Just a short time ago, surely few would’ve believed that a common viewpoint — that it would be unfair to let guys take away athletic victories from girls by allowing them to compete in women’s sports — would be labeled the result of an irrational fear.

Yet here we are: What was considered common sense and common goodness is now a symptom of mental illness.

“Transphobia” has gotten so much traction, in fact, that Brazil just criminalized it — it’s punishable by a half decade in prison. See my coverage of that turn of events here.

About 4,000 miles north — in Connecticut — one girl’s standing against the athletic co-mingling of the sexes, transphobia be darned.

High school track runner Selina Soule is speaking her mind…to the government.

Selina was recently sidelined by not one but two men who beat her: After finishing behind a group that included a couple dudes in the 55-meter dash, she was unable to compete in the New England regionals.

As I’ve pointed out previously, this is what the infiltration of men into women’s athletics does: It steals attention and opportunity and scholarships and careers from women who would otherwise find them. It robs them of bright futures that their wins and awards would otherwise have brought.

On Tucker Carlson Tonight Monday, Selina and her attorney — Christiana Holcomb of the Alliance Defending Freedom — voiced their opposition to that confiscation.

Ms. Soule is right. No doubt about it.

But it's a brave new world, Ms. Soule. Just go to the back of the bus, take a seat, and shut up.

Or, to put it another way:

The good thing about this is it’s counteracting the leftist indoctrination going on in schools. When the kids see how much leftist ideals are harming them, they take notice and like this girl is doing take action.

She is going to feel the fury of the left. She dared to violate a taboo. She spoke the truth about sex “changing.” My bet is she has a hard time getting into college and getting a job.

If I win big in the lottery, she will be able to sue their f****** a$$es off.

The truth is under attack. Government forbids you to say the truth. THIS is what George Orwell wrote about!

F**K government fascism!

I bet it’s pretty funny watching this fool run track with a dozen She-Males lined up along side. They will just leave her in the dust.

To think this foolish woman would ever think she could get a fair shake when all these tortured souls can’t resolve their identity.

I’m getting so emotional...what’s this salty discharge?

It’s up to all the female athletes to band together and stop this lunacy.

I'll tell you what I'm waiting for, and hoping for. I want a few mediocre male golf pros to self-identity as women, then join the Ladies Professional Golf Association.

Those "guys" would clean up on the LPGA tour. And a good time would be had by all.

Is Al Czervik still available? If so, he ought to join the LPGA.

Rodney Dangerfield looking that slim?
Must have been before he hit it big. Delightfully vulgar!
I recall him looking more like Jackie Gleason by the time Caddyshack happened.

Let me see if I have this straight. The gals rave on about “the patriarchy”. Fact is, “the patriarchy” protects women by defending their right to a private place of vulnerability(restroom) or a chance to fairly compete against one another on the playing field. Now, a guy is kicking your butt, invading your privacy, basically usurping your rights, but as long as they “identify” as gals, it’s OK. Nothing more to being a woman than saying you are one. Basically no such thing as a woman, just whatever.

So, no problem with “the patriarchy” if it “identifies” as a woman. You liberal gals crack me up! Saddest part is, you have to live with your creation. I’ll just SMDH and laugh.

This is not just an academic discussion for me. I have a female cousin who has worked her whole life to be the best. She currently has the U.S. record in her event and has been in several Olympics. I’d hate to see her lose her chance because some pervert displaced her.
