‘Celebration of inclusivity’: London Marathon stands by transgender runner Glenique Frank
NY Post ^ | 04/28/2023 | Lee Brown

Marathon officials are standing behind trans runner Glenique Frank — maintaining that she did nothing wrong when she beat nearly 14,000 women in the female category of a race that is “a unique celebration of inclusivity.”

Hugh Brasher, the event director of the TCS London Marathon, spoke out a day after the 54-year-old trans woman said she feared being stripped of her medal and being banned from future races for entering the competition as female.

However, Brasher told The Post that only elite and championship competitors — which Frank is not — “are held under World Athletics rules, which exclude transgender women from elite female competition if they have gone through male puberty.”

Woman’s sports...

Where class B male athletes can be winners.

I will never understand a lot of things.

And one such issue, is how it “celebrates being inclusive”, by allowing a man who plays dress up to compete with women in sports. But that’s where we are at.

Well, that’s par for the course in the U.K.. People there would probably have their tongues cut out before they would say something not politically correct.

It seems the spirit that has entered these people drives them to mass murder in the end. Just an observation.

If women are ok with their sports being destroyed, then I’m ok with it. They’ve been screaming for years about their Title IX rights whenever the more active and popular male teams get more support than the women’s teams and now suddenly they’re silent.

I'm not. I'm hoping every left-wing woman who ran in that race is peeved off. That's what they get.

I'm hoping that a wave of trannies take over the Lesbian Purple-Haired Kneeling Women's Soccer brigade.

Let all of the lefty sportswomen get beat by trannies. It's what they voted for.

What the heck is inclusivity? Not even in the dictionary.

‘Celebration of inclusivity’

Wait a minute... 14,000 women were beaten and not one of them complained? BS.

So next year, they should be honest, and simply stay that real women by birth, or not welcome.
