Utterly revolting: Male volleyball player shouts obscene taunt at opposing girls team
Twitchy.com ^ | 11/18/2023 | Grateful Calvin

Posted on 11/18/2023 7:30:11 PM PST by NetAddicted

Allowing boys to play in girls' sports is a scourge in America. It not only erases young girls, it destroys their athletic hopes and dreams and puts them in serious physical danger. Examples of young women being seriously injured by their male counterparts increase nearly every week. It is undeniable that teenage boys in general possess natural physiological advantages over teenage girls, and we have seen the results of that over and over.

But if that was not enough, the insanity has now reached the inevitable next level: humiliation.

It is not enough anymore for boys to beat the girls, they have to taunt them as well. Vulgarly.

"Did my penis distract you?" MA teen boy, Derek Cannuscio's inappropriate comment to opposing female player post girls' volleyball game sparks controversy. Heated girls' match: Opposing team fans booed the male team captain. 🧵@MIAA033 pic.twitter.com/h5ZJK1vMMA

— ICONS (@icons_women) November 18, 2023

The Independent Council on Women's Sports (ICONS) is a network of current and former female athletes who advocate for protecting women's athletics and fair competition. They reported this incident on Nov. 18, though the date that the actual game took place is unclear.

And the player in question, Derek Cannuscio, is not even 'trans.' He identifies as male (or at least as a 'he'), and that is reflected on his Instagram channel as well. But Massachusetts law allows boys to play in girls' sports regardless of gender identity if there is not an equivalent male sport at the school.

It remains unclear if the tall male player (who still refers to himself as "he") simply prefers playing against girls to capitalize on the 7" lower girls' net height or if he self-identifies as non-binary. 🧵 pic.twitter.com/Qom56rED4A

Watch the video. The boy towers above not only his teammates and opponents but also the lower net that is used in girls' volleyball. That's a nice advantage to have.

Male player who happens to be captain of girls volleyball team in MA asked female player on opposing team after a heated game:

"Did my penis distract you?"

How is that not some form of sexual harassment? At the hands of @MassGovernor pic.twitter.com/fqhe7Fobba

There is no other way to categorize this: it is a humiliation ritual. One worthy of the Soviet Union or Chinese Cultural Revolution. And while the temptation is to place all the blame on Connuscio (and he certainly deserves plenty), the real fault lies with Massachusetts legislatures and other adults who allow this to even happen.

@LoriTrahanMA because of Title IX, you had the chance to be a D1 athlete. It's time to understand the repercussions of your vote. You're erasing while simultaneously hurting girls across the state of MA. For your daughters sake, you deserve to be voted out of office.

WTF are the parents thinking, allowing this? If my son came and said he was playing in a girls team, he’d be grounded. https://t.co/3yXsogVgbE

The real criminals here are the adults that allow this boy to play girls’ sports. https://t.co/qtkIA22w8A

— Nick Searcy, INSURRECTIONAL FILM & TELEVISION STAR (@yesnicksearcy) November 18, 2023

Absolutely. The entire Massachusetts state legislature and governor should be ashamed.

That thing that never happens has happened again. https://t.co/2ds766wjPv

Remember when they kept telling us that boys in girls' sports never happened? That was fun. We have now reached, 'It's not happening and it's good that it is.'

@LandmarkSchool is a private school for kids with language disabilities, fees are $73k-96k per annum (a lot of money to help your kid with dyslexia get ahead)

I wonder how the girls parents, who are paying close to six figures a year, feel about a boy taking a girl’s opportunity https://t.co/d9weGFSc3n

— Le_Sorelle_Arduino KPSS (@Sorelle_Arduino) November 18, 2023

Wow. Imagine paying that much for your child's high school and having this take place. It's time for parents to take some action.

The parents need to get involved, and take the girls out of the school sports teams. We did that for one of our daughters in high school (different problem; same solution) and placed her on a local club team. If parents will do that, the schools will listen. https://t.co/zPhugAXIYd

— K. Wade (@Kwade79) November 18, 2023

A protest in front of that school needs to happen from parents who do live there so they have no power to silence us because we don’t go to the school or live in the community.

Until people make it stop, it will never stop. It will only get worse.

This happened in Massachusetts, where boys can play on girls teams, if not equivalent sport for boys at that school.

The best response I ever heard to a comment like his was from a girl who said “It looks like a dick only smaller”.

That was\is the original loophole in Title IX.
It was originally meant to benefit the females.
In order to ensure compliance with Title IX, programs of both male and females must display no discrimination.
It had unintended consequences.
I remember early, a H.S. school in our state had a bowling program for girls and not for boys.
A team of boys joined the girls program and basically ran the table in the girls bowling tournaments.

Rather than build a girls program, H.S. and Colleges were dropping mens programs.
Some programs got eliminated for males and females.

Now the trans crappola added another element to unintended consequences.

what a mess...

‘”Did my penis distract you?” MA teen boy, Derek Cannuscio’s inappropriate comment..’

You know, in a bygone era, the girls’ fathers and brothers would have kicked the crap out of Derek after the game.

women’s liberation demanded that women equal to men in every way. now that they’ve reached that pinnacle of equality where men ARE equal to women in every way, have they suddenly realized that their proverbial ladder was parked on the wrong wall? women dished it so are you admitting they can’t take it? better ask a girl first before you invoke dad or brothers. dont want that woman wrath on you. or do you?

This is what the women wanted with wishing to be considered equal in all areas. God created differences that most men and women respected until to many women wanted the equality and demanded it. Sometimes it’s better to want than to have. But now they have created a separate but equal status that makes both fail.

“Rather than build a girls program, H.S. and Colleges were dropping mens programs.”


As I understand it, and I could be mistaken, Title IX requires that women’s/girls’ sports must receive the same amount of money as men’s/boys’. Football and men’s basketball teams have such big budgets/scholarships etc. that men’s minor sports had to be eliminated and women’s sports had to be created to achieve ‘equality’.

A friend of mine was a coach on the men’s wrestling squad at the local university. It was dropped so that several women’s sports teams could be created.

During the Obama administration it was argued that since women make up more than half of college undergrads, that the 50:50 split in money was unfair and should be changed to reflect women’s enrollment thus decreasing the amount of money available for men’s sports.

Not totally sure exactly what point you’re making, but I probably don’t disagree with you. In any case, I come from an era in which:
(1) No self-respecting boy would want to play on the girls’ team;
(2) No self-respecting boy would start talking about his penis to girls.

There's a simple solution. Each time they play Derek, forefit the game to him. Derek will win the championship but there will be an asterisk to it.

Time for the girls to stand up.
