Womens’ sports are now officially dead.

The whole friggin' country has gone nutso.

Electing President Trump was a step in the right direction, but we're a long way from healed.

[I want the USA back]

Good. All dickchoppers can now benefit from this insanity.

"I doubt he’s very impressive, but if he qualified as a woman, he took a woman’s spot."

Good point. Will this be enough for real women athletes to take some form of grass root action that will send a message to the thunderheads who organize and run the Boston Marathon? The clock is ticking.

A-Rod ran like a girl for many years in the MLB and no one complained about that.

[Vision]

Obama's insanity and gobsmacked ignorance dumbed down the world.

I assume any man can just show up run and win while claiming to be a woman, lol.

[upchuck]

This is very unfair. Like the HS gender dysphoric wrestler who has won championships two years in a row.

Men are built stronger than women. It’s in their DNA, something they can’t change as they pretend they are a woman.

I suggest the women boycott the marathon.

[bantam]

ABSOLUTELY!!!!
Beam me up !!!!!

it’s a mad, mad world. this guy can lift weights way above the women in the comp:

8 Apr: news.com.au: Games’ ticking time bomb explodes as rival nation protests transgender weightlifter’s presence
THE Commonwealth Games’ most controversial issue has erupted as Samoan coaches protest the presence of a transgender weightlifter.
by Tyson Otto
Games officials have repeatedly declared their support for Hubbard’s inclusion in the event, despite the 40-year-old having previously competed internationally on the men’s weightlifting circuit under the name Gavin Hubbard...
However, she has been the target of widespread protests and uproar from rival weightlifting federations which have publicly called on officials to ban her from competing...

Her expected success and potential to inspire has led to a push in New Zealand for Hubbard to be given the honour of carrying the Kiwi flag and lead the team into the stadium during the Games’ closing ceremony...

it threatens to destroy women’s athletics which they hold so dear.

Good point. They federally mandated equal funding for women's athletics, then turned around and allowed men to compete as "women." WTF?

[bantam]

I thought the same thing. Let the freaks have at it!!!
To many out there are to big of pussies to do it though

[NobleFree]

At least female marathoners will only be defeated - not pulverized like female ultimate fighters going up against trannies.

[Crucial]

Liberals ruin everything they touch.

“Hail Hail East Germany
Land of vine and grape
Land where you’ll regret
Any try to escape
No matter if you take a running jump,
or tunnel under the wall
Forget it, the guards will kill you—
if the electrified fence doesn’t first”

[DouglasKC]

Ten overtly male men should enter as women, win the top ten women’s spots and dare anyone to say a word.

[BigEdLB]

Lop it off, get a new car?

[Tax-chick]

Will this be enough for real women athletes to take some form of grass root action

I have no idea. If not, one wonders what would be "enough."

[Tax-chick]

Any man who says, “I feel like I’m a woman,” can benefit, if you call acting nuts in public a “benefit.”
