What do you call the top two finishers in the girls 100-meter dash at Connecticuts recent State Open track and field championships? First and second place? If youre not the mainstream media, you may call them boys.
In fact, one of them set the girls State Open record in both the 100 and 200-meter runs. Welcome to our (not so) Brave New World.
Bulkeley High Schools Terry Miller, a boy claiming girlhood (BCG), won the events. In the 100-meter dash, the runner-up was Andraya Yearwood of Cromwell, also a BCG.
This now is nothing new. For example, Laurel Hubbard a man claiming woman status whose name originally was Gavin Hubbard won the womens 198.4-pound division in the Australian International weightlifting championships, besting his nearest rival by almost 45 pounds and setting new national records in the snatch and clean and jerk, according to 1NewsNow, as I reported last year.
Then there was the 55-year-old man going by the name Lana Lawless, who claimed womanhood and won the womens division of the World Long Drive Championship in 2008. There are many more examples here, and there will be even more in the future and you can largely blame feminism.
Its ironic that the ideology claiming to take up the cudgels for women would be responsible for robbing them of sporting glory, but thats exactly what has happened.

It’s not that conservatives “stood aside while this insanity happened” it’s that conservatives obeyed the laws as were passed down by the courts.
Now if you want to talk about overthrowing the courts and laws by other than political means, I’m all in!
P.S. It all started with Renee Richards
I agree. The more, the better. Stupid people only learn when they experience the fruits of their wretched ideas.
I am constantly surprised at how most parents go along to get along with this PC foolishness. The majority seem to be afraid to ‘rock the boat’ and then be called intolerant.
A certain percentage don’t think they have much choice;
they cannot afford to send the kids to private school, plus some parents don’t believe they are educated enough to create and run a home school either.
Take it from there, FReepers . . .
Welcome to the Michael Obama Olympics.
Unlike the NFL, THIS is the kind of event where it would be APPROPRIATE for athletes to “Take a knee”... as soon as the starting gun fires...
JUST ONCE I would like to see a video where the starting gun fires, and the only ones running are the trannies.
Yup, the schaudenfreude is strong for me on this.
Same thing.
I would like to see BCG golfers start claiming the LPGA and WTA golf and tennis prizes. Those are some sweet purses. If the ladies don’t like it, they can come out against this insanity.
Just what I was thinking!
IMO, it's more that they don't want to cause trouble for their kid. Every school has a Hogg and some ass-wipe teachers/administrators to back him/her/it up in the bullying that their kid will be forced to endure.
A certain percentage dont think they have much choice; they cannot afford to send the kids to private school, plus some parents dont believe they are educated enough to create and run a home school either.
Parents in households that depend on two incomes may not have the time to home school and/or fight all the legal roadblocks that the system will throw at them. Then there is the chance for college scholarships...
Don't get me wrong, I'm not pro-school system and anti-home schooling, it's just that this is just the way things are.
Women are mostly to blame
They’re way more likely to support liberals and their stupid policies
Female athletes crushed by ‘women who were once men’
http://www.wnd.com/2017/03/female-athletes-crushed-by-women-who-were-once-men/
And that doesn’t include cases where the girl on testosterone beats other girls, such as the Euless, TX girl who says she’s a boy and then beat all the girls in the state in women’s wrestling.
We should ban ALL transgenders as unfairly advantaged due to hormones and drugs.
Liberal bullies are even throwing hate crime charges at classic feminists for opposing mentally ill men in the women’s bathroom, locker room, changing room, shelters and dorms.
Labour feminist who took on the party’s trans activists is questioned by police, accused of ‘hate crime’

In any sporting event where trans and straight folks are competing, all participants should have to take a drug test. The test would look specifically for hormones, etc. that trannies take. Any one found to be taking these substances should be disqualified for seeking an unfair advantage.
Sorry, I read this whole thing and I don’t see how “feminism” is responsible for it. There’s a good feminism - which means that women should get equal pay for equal work and shouldn’t be disqualified automatically from certain fields - as happened when I was an art student in the lates ‘60s with an interest in printing. Unfortunately, women couldn’t go into the printing and graphic design industry because the unions wouldn’t let women join and the unions controlled the industry.
The “bad feminism” is victimology, and the whole transgender (there’s no such thing) bit gave males a chance to benefit by claiming female victim status.
The best suggestion I saw was having two competitions: an XX race and an XY race. That means, regardless of what you think you are or claim to be, your chromosomes will give you away...and you’ll be racing against competitors of the same body type and with the same advantages and disadvantages.
That race was disgraceful and I can’t believe that those two boys were crowing about winning over a bunch of girls while they themselves were pretending to be girls. Disgusting.
There is no good feminism.
Once again we see how leftist perversion destroys everything they touch. Now for the feminists? Where are their voices? The King has new clothes and no one is brave enough to say anything.
There are the Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminists, who are keeping to XY chromosomes, biology, etc. Those are scorned by many who are excluding those poor Transwomen, who only want to be accepted. The ones advocating for fake women use tenuous logic to make the argument of "What is Woman?" to break down any attempt to excluse those who aren't born XX.
But in the realm of competition, allowing this sort of imbalanced competition is destructive, which I do think some guys secretly appreciate since Title IX "took away Men's college sports" and other rubbish I've heard ad nauseum.
The only moment of care I have is that almost all of these young people, who are claiming these exemptions to compete on a secondary tier and winning outrageously, are using Title IX in a way that probably wasn't thought of when enacted, but is a loophole to the means to destroy women's athletics and women, in general.
Allowing this, where young men who claim to be women, and aren't on any hormones or blockers (and shouldn't before age 18, at the least!) makes a decisive disadvantage to those girls who are competing clean.
My ire is with the handful of special people who sued to be able to compete in this way and the courts deemed that it was harmful to exclude them from whatever choices they made, while harming the other 99% of those impacted.
The libs pushed for it, in an effort to break down women yet again, as well as confusing children on certain absolutes with is Marxist doctrine. Freedom is Slavery, Work shall make you free, etc.
These kids should be getting help to deal and cope with their illness, not have it enabled and allowing the fantasy to destroy others as a way to placate their fantasy.
These kids need help and not enabling their illness with Munchausen's by the parents.
And the actual miniscule percentage that can't be helped? They should get more care, paid for by their parents, until they are made whole again, even if it is long-term in-patient care.
