It is more a matter of cowardice than the truth being “controversial.”

Not "freaks." Terry and Andraya are mentally ill young men in need of therapy. They should not be treated abusively, but their pathology should not be encouraged, and young women should not be abused in order to allow mentally ill boys to act out their fantasies.

Not necessarily. They may be perfectly healthy young men who made the rational decision that they are not top-line athletes, but since they automatically hold an advantage against girls, they claim to "identify" as female so they can "compete" without real competition. Against girls, they have no real competition.

If we are to believe the left that there is a patriarchy dedicated to keeping women subservient, then it looks like the patriarchy has come up with a fiendishly clever way to suppress women. Any man who wants to suppress women can just claim that he “identifies” as one, and *boom* the doors are open for him to suppress and displace women all he wants.

In Shakespeare’s time, women were not allowed to do anything and absolutely could not perform. All of the female parts in his plays were played by men. Have we really gone so far backwards in women’s rights?

I also did not know that Tamikka Brents was unaware that her opponent was biologically male.

That’s just wrong. She should have been informed and had the option to not “compete.”

She (and any other female who fought with Fallon Fox) is the “brave” one. It’s totally upside-down for a biological male to be labeled “brave” for fighting biological females. Would a heavyweight champion boxer be called “brave” for fighting a much lighter weight category?

I have some mixed feelings about this.

Women are much more supportive of this LGBTQRSTUV insanity than men, so in a way there is a touch of schadenfreude and that they deserve what they’re getting.

On the other hand, not fighting this idiocy will eventually negatively impact all of us, not just women.

“Better to spend those 3 mins here on FR.

Social media is a cesspool. Stop complaining.”

FYI - FR is social media!

Women athletes must start a movement to fight this insanity.

The college could make bunches of bucks if they put on some Christians vs. Lions fights, or even bullfights. Bullfights are very popular.
