Transgender male intrusion into women’s swimming is all OK because people should recognize that sports are about personal liberation, not fair rules competition, according to Sally Jenkins, a writer at Jeff Bezos’s Washington Post.
“One of the things that makes NCAA sport so captivating is the vast assortment of characters emerging from their chrysalis [like a transformed butterfly] into the broader world,” Jenkins wrote March 17.
“Hate to tell you, but in a way, everyone is trans,” Jenkins wrote.
All of the women in the race were demoted one place by Thomas’s victory. “All of us in life’s competitive arena are on the way to becoming someone profoundly different than we were,” Jenkins wrote, without using the words “female” or “subordinate.”
What is the real aim and value of NCAA competition? Is it not to grow people? Surely, it’s about more than just vaulting a small subset of young talents on to a podium for the sake of name-image-and-likeness deals and spots in the Olympics. It’s supposed to be about exploring who you are, whether on the pool deck or starting block or basketball floor, and the truth is that “every person has multitudes in them,” as [T.] Cooper’s wife, journalist Allison Glock, observed in her own work. That’s the real worthwhile inquiry of college sports.
Besides, the difference between men and women is all very complicated, confounding, and confusing, she wrote. People, sex, sports are all very complex, and “the science remains unsettled.”

Democrats are evil scum.
Men make the best women........
Hate to tell you, but you are a skank.
Hitler tried that self exploration phase. So did Charles Manson and Jeffery Dahmer.
This is one of the stupidest comments I have every heard. What if I want to be in the 100 meter sprint? But because of “who I am”, I choose to use a motorcycle. Gold medal at the Olympics, baby!
This particular aspect of the leftist agenda is one of the more evil.
The lovely and deep thinking Sally Jenkins.
If winning is not the objective, why keep score?

Well, at least she tried....
As Mark Levin says: The Washington compost
I wonder how much fun a football game would be if it were about ‘exploring who you are’ instead of competing fairly.
and what if one of the best tennis players in the world right now decided to put on a wig and play in the women’s tournaments? It would be a piece of cake. women don’t even do the same amount of sets in those tournaments
I wish someone would pull that stuff in the professional world just to see the outcry
Please stand back and let these sickos destroy Title IX. Legislation won’t work. Leave these nutters to fight among themselves.
Tell that to the (real) girls who have spent all of their lives training for this, gotten scholarships based on their athletics, and medals and rankings...which have all been reduced to dust by having them compete against men.
Men and women cannot compete physically. Women have more endurance, but men have more strength, and the bodies of each of them are built differently. Women have wider hips and thus more water drag, less upper body reach and strength, etc. And this comes from when the sperm meets the egg.
Even having their wienies cut off and taking hormones can make a man into a woman. And they should not be competing with women.

Sports Aren’t About Fair Competition but ‘Exploring Who You Are’
