Big Sky Conference names male runner ‘female athlete of the week,’ leaves out he’s transgender
College Fix ^ | October 23, 2019 | Greg Piper

Even men who identify as women typically acknowledge that they are “transgender women,” clarifying that they were not born women.

The Big Sky Conference didn’t even go that far when it honored a transgender woman as its “Female Athlete of the Week” in cross country. The student’s university was even more circumspect, simply identifying the transgender woman as “Athlete of the Week.”

June Eastwood, formerly known as Jonathan, “finished second in a field of 204 runners at the Santa Clara Bronco Invitational” and helped the University of Montana finish seventh as a team, the conference said in a press release. Both pages for “June” and “Jonathan” remain live on a University of Montana Athletics website (source of collage, above).

Curious if this man has stolen a women's athletic scholarship.

If the farce of allowing men to pose as females and enter women's athletic competitions continues, women's athletics is pretty much done - every "women's" competition will be won by a man and every "women's" athletic record will be held by a man.

What goes around, comes around. Thousands of male athletes have been denied even the chance to participate in college athletics because of government demands that schools fund female athletic programs.

How long before it becomes a crime to call a man who dresses as a woman a man?

In the 1950’s we were wondering if we’d have flying cars in 2019.

Instead we’re questioning if individuals other than female can have periods and if pet animals with white fur are racist.

I went to Georgia Tech and played lacrosse (high level club).

The soccer guys and lax guys all had the same answer when asked if we would ever go D1: because of Title IX, we have to add a women’s team before we can add a men’s team. We don’t have the women or money to do that.

I believe this is going to kill women’s athletics. But in a broader view, how in the heck can we have Title IX coexisting with men playing women’s sports???

We can thank the feminazis and the alphabet people for this crap. They OWN it.

That is why I do not see more outrage from female athletes and their parents. Those female athletes have trained long and hard and spent money going to various summer camps to get better in their sport. And then they lose to a male.

Why have womens’ sports if they become infiltrated and dominated by dudes? Couldn’t a whole bunch of guys who are not good enough for mens’ basketball just become female players and take over?

Like I've said before, there is only one way to solve this injustice to female athletes having to compete against men.

Every athlete entered in a competition must be checked by a physician before competing. They need to drop their britches and be examined.

If the athlete has a penis, he is a man, no-matter what he self-identifies as, and can't compete against the women.

If the athlete has a vagina, she is a woman, and can compete against the other women.

If the athlete has neither a penis or a vagina, then they need to start their own athletic program to compete against their own kind.

Problem solved. Easy peasy.

It’s the essence of cultural destruction: Make people shut up and mouth complete falsehoods instinctively as a way of humiliating anyone with wrong thoughts.

This might finally be Leftism’s Bridge Too Far.

NOBODY on this planet can deal out wrath like a woman scorned. Particularly a Feminist. Transgenders continue to cross them at their own peril.

No, this isn’t sufficient.

Years of testosterone exposure have given a male-born athlete a significant advantage.

The only test is a karyotyping to determine whether an athlete has XX sex chromosomes, XY, or something else.

We live in the land of the free. You’re free to do and be anything you’re heart desires, including being delusional.

Every virtue taken to its limit becomes an evil.

Not just the feminazis but the majority of “normal” woman support these delusionals. So I’m having a bit of trouble working up any sympathy for women athletes.
