Apparently, there's an exhibit at the Smithsonian – inside the National Museum of American History – that asks visitors to give their opinions on transgender athletes. Not only that, but the exhibit is sponsored, in part, by sports apparel giant Nike.
Jillian Michaels, one of the original "fitness influencers" and a staunch defender of women's sports, brought it up during a segment on CNN, asking why the exhibit exists and why it is promoting a false claim.
"[The exhibit]… talks about how it's complex to do gender testing in sports. It's not complex. It's basic science," Michaels said. "Is it it fair to have biological men competing against biological women in sports? No, but why is this in the Smithsonian?"
To Michaels' point, gender testing is not complex. As OutKick reported, World Athletics has implemented testing for athletes so that only women can compete in the women's category. The "complex" test they plan to conduct on athletes to prove their biological sex is a cheek swab that is then used to check for XX or XY chromosomes. It's simple: if a person has XY chromosomes, they can't compete in women's sports. That's not complicated, nor invasive.

They must be pretty hard up for a new exhibit.
According to Ric Grennell, the woke sh!t at the Smithsonian is going DOWN! Huge audits of the organization are starting. I saw him interviewed this morning, either on Newsmax or Fox.
Looks like NIKE is still being run by those who lionized Colin Kaepernick and threw a gazillion dollars at him for a sponsorship deal. They’ll learn when the Board of Directors sees too many deep dive loses in earnings.
It is time to wind of the Smithsonian and distribute out its collections to legitimate museums.
It seems like every day something is read on these page that is even more ludicrous than the day before. Don’t see what any of this possibly has anything to do with the Smithsonian.
I have boycotted Nike for decades.
WTF Alert!
(It seems like every day something is read on these page that is even more ludicrous than the day before.)
It’s unbelievable 😲😲😲
Nike: we din’t give a sheet, just buy our shoes....who else can we whore ourselves to? Hamas?
The end goal for the progs is to memory hole the whole institution. Burn it to the ground. Erect some George Floyd and Obama statues. I am glad I never had the displeasure of seeing that place hearing what a liberal democrat commies have turned it into to.
Throw. These sick freaks off some very tall buildings.
It’s pay-for-play.
And I’ll bet Nike didn’t have to spend much.
Perhaps anthropology related to modern species. Tough call.
Nike has gone full retard.
Nike is a monopoly in college sport and taking charge, and this is what happens.
