Over the weekend, female fencer Stephanie Turner didn’t just forfeit a match; she lit a match under the powder keg of women’s sports.
The day before the Cherry Blossom Open fencing competition in Maryland, Turner had decided she would not play against Redmond Sullivan, a transgender-identifying man. But rather than quietly bowing out early, she bided her time, choosing when to act. That moment came on the mat, for all to see, in a deliberate and defiant stand.
“I saw that I was going to be in a pool with Redmond, and from there I said, ‘OK, let’s do it. I’m going to take the knee,’” Turner told Fox News.

men don’t belong in women’s sports
women should not be punished for refusing to compete against men
am I missing anything?
There you have it. See what happens when actual women protest and take action against all this trans stuff. The actual women competitors pay the price and get evicted from competing.
Sad situation.
She may have forfeit the meet, but she maintained her soul, her dignity and integrity.
Where’s the loud mouthed feminists fighting for women? Oh, they’re a fraud and always have been?
No you aren’t missing anything.
But in today’s politically correct world, we are compelled to think that these transgender men are women in every sense of the word.
We are compelled to pretend to that they are actually women.
The powers that be in the sports organizations force us to say that they are actually women. And any deviation from the approved thinking results in expulsion. That’s where we are as of right now.
I can see where having a penis could be an unfair advantage in a sword fight.
If every woman in her situation did what she did, they could stop this tranny tyranny.

Well said. In a way, it’s a Rosa Parks thing. Parks refused to move to the back of the bus. This woman refused to compete against a man.
It amazes me that today’s liberals cannot see the similarities here.
That’s what surprises me, why don’t ALL women refuse?
Shows just how much democrats hate women. Don’t understand why women support the democrats.
Yes you are missing something.
These people (gender identifying) are normal according to the APA.
The 10 year-old boy who fidgets in his desk at school is the one with a mental illness according to the APA.
By the age of 10, boys are bigger, stronger and faster than girls.
And, as time progresses, the difference becomes more pronounced.
The danger women and girls face, is that some psychotic ape might actually believe that he might actually have to use overwhelming physicality to overcome a woman!
especially in fencing, a sport directly related to combat. Unless... women don't have a mindset for combat.
Wonder what’s going to happen
when a Man enters a Women’s Chess Tournament?
But when he comes in to the locker room wearing a dress and womanface, and even hikes up his dress to wave his junk at them, they cheer and celebrate his Gender Dysphoria.
What's next, piling up your fencing gear for arsonists to burn, in order to validate their mental illness?
You know, diversity of life is best revealed at the Monteray Aquarium.
It’s there you will discover the full power of genetic mutation in the advancent of evolution and survival.
Also appears, there is a spectum in humans that orient male or female apart from their biology?
I see it. Every day. ...and I’m not one to stand and judge.
They exist and I recognize them.
It’s not easy to go against the grain, but they do and they deserve recognition for their courage to be true to themselves.
where we conflict is their need to indoctrinate, tolerance is something we can teach, forcing a thought beyond parental control is something I won’t support.
She should have fought him with two epees, saying she identified as “non-binary” - and then sued them all when they tried to disqualify her.
I suppose if a girl is on a fencing scholarship and forfeiting a match risks the overall college education, that is a tough decision to make for an individual. I can agree that they should all walk away from these matches, but on a case by case I can’t blame a person for making a personal choice.
This is probably the best written article on the subject and controversy — probably because it was not written by some gender-confused writer trying to be something other than they are. The media seems to be dominated by such types.
