olympics has fallen...

Hard for me to say this, but I’m rooting for Australia.

Because they seized everyone’s guns?

[DPMD]

And it’s not the first the kneelers have lost to a guy, or guys. High school guys at that. So it pays to have men on women’s teams.

[fuzzylogic]

My understanding is that it is a she that identifies as a he.

So the real question is, if trans-females perform in female contests, why isn’t this person required to perform in male contests?

We all know why. Trans-females are just cheating, that is all it is.

“The lefty American womyn got beaten by a fake woman—love it!

Chickens coming home to roost...”

Yes, the irony is truly delicious. Schaedenfreude, I believe it is called.

I am also not disappointed by the fact that the Lefty freak is not a “breeder,” nor that the Canadian freak is, well, a freak who also cannot be a “breeder.” Best to let those genes for serious mental illness pass into history and not continue to propagate.

I’m pretty sure that my life isn’t guided by just one issue.

I’m strictly talking about women’s soccer.

I thought of that song as soon as I saw the headline. Is Quinn an Eskimo? Lots of Eskimos in Canada.

I’m strictly talking about women’s soccer.

That's cool. But why Australia?

[cpdiii]

How many transgendered play in the NFL or NBA as the sex opposite of which they were born?

ZERO!!!!

The only way women’s sports will be salvaged is for the real women to just refuse to play against a man calling himself a woman.

[DennisR]

Yep. That will take courage.

[Drew68]

It's almost like a female gymnast saying she isn't really a female she's a rabbit, then she medals and the woke world media celebrates the first Olympic medal won by a rabbit.

Thank you.

That is EXACTLY what this is.

Rebecca Quinn was born a biological woman, remains a biological woman, plays on a woman's team, and this team won a medal, regardless of what pronouns she chooses to use.

This is in no way newsworthy or historic by any measure other than Canada winning the medal.

[Drew68]

My understanding is that it is a she that identifies as a he.

No, she's a she that identifies as non-binary and uses they/them pronouns. It's all the rage amongst the kids these days (particularly girls).
