Reminded me of a classic

A 59 year-old male Finnish farmer took up skating at age 50, declared himself transgender, and performed yesterday under the female name Minna-Maaria at the opening of the European Figure Skating Championship.
Finland was proud to announce that they would be including the world’s “first trans figure skater” at the proceedings, only to discover Markku could not skate.
How do you grow up in Finland as ANYTHING, and not learn to skate?!
Lotta jerks in this world looking for 15 minutes.
watching this freak is like watching a wounded deer hobble through a forest
You hope someone comes along and puts him out of his misery
An adult trains in skating for 9 years and no one from the Finnish athletic committee every sees him skate?
Skating is as Finnish as Skiing, Reindeer or Sharpshooting.
And who paid for his trip to the competition, his entry fees, his badge?
Well, they found a sport where pretending to be female doesn’t give you a competitive advantage.
I skipped looking at the other threads on this because I assumed it was some joke thing, didn’t know it was real.
He is going to be a challenge to lift.
Well this is how things are going
Soon we will have lawyers who don’t know the law, thanks to lower standards
We have “doctors” who can’t heal anyone, just try to treat or “manage” symptoms and side effects
We have engineers who can’t build bridges but we praised for being an all female design team.
We have “restaurants” where no one cooks, but just microwave prepackaged soups, pastas and entrees
Yes. Figure skaters spend years training - but they are training in perfecting a combination of both athleticism and also archetypal female characteristics
A fat old dude can't "pretend" anything.
I immediately thought of that.
OK, I took the bait and watched. A beautiful young lady skated up to him/her/it and handed him/her/it a Finnish flag. The look on the girl’s face was pure “let me out of here NOW.” And she skated off while Istud Ignaz tried to stand up.
(NB: “istud” is a good Latin word for “that thing”.)
Some hilarious comments on the youtube thread.
>> Lotta jerks in this world looking for 15 minutes.
They’re not the problem.
It’s the Rat neighbor that believes jerks are meaningful
In my own life experience, I’ve learned that the vast majority of homosexuals (specifically LGB or T), whom I’ve personally known, are also deeply rooted narcissists. I’m convinced there’s some common pathology there that can be uncovered if it weren’t so “politically incorrect” to do so.
The EU deserves to be a laughing stock.
In the future everyone will identify as female...then we will all be equal, just you wait and see!
A double first! First Transgender, Transskater!
I wonder if they put him in there as a joke on the world?
Clearly he can’t skate... and they put the spotlight on him.
Someone must have seen him skate before deciding to stick him on there center stage... Seriously... did they plan this?
