The winning wrestler pulled a tearful runner-up next to him on the victory stand, and they exchanged a hug after a match that never took place. Mack Beggs, a transgender 17-year-old at Euless Trinity, won the girls 110-pound championship at Saturday's Class 6A Region II wrestling meet after a Coppell wrestler forfeited the final. Beggs, a junior, is taking testosterone while transitioning from female to male. Madeline Rocha's forfeit came 11 days after a lawsuit was filed against the University Interscholastic League by Coppell attorney and wrestling parent Jim Baudhuin, urging the governing body to suspend Beggs because of the use of the steroid.

America, oh America. What have the mentally ill progressives done to you? We must rid you of this disease with swiftness and surety, with the strongest of medicines, with shock and awe. Beginning with George Soros.

it is frigging confusing. boys are boys, and girls are girls, and boys compete against boys, and girls against girls.

Exactly. But since it is her choice, that is all that matters. Have to pander to the trans genders anyway we can or lest we seem insensitive to their plight.

The way these progressives twist themselves into ever more complex pretzels I wonder when the time will come that they can no longer breathe from all the contorting they do, but they are like the undead. Nothing stops them from their lust for brains(”social justice”)

Her. The pronoun is Her as long as she sports female wedding tackle.

The only sensible remainging response to this lunacy is to eliminate any gender distinctions in athletic competitions. Of course, that is only going to hurt females, but that isn’t the fault of those of us who know who is a girl and who isn’t.

This in a way reminds me of murderer Oscar Pistorious aka the Blade Runner.

He has no lower legs/feet. He straps on springs. People with and without legs/feet have strapped on leaf springs and can outrun even the best runners with normal limbs.

Somehow because he is a cripple, the PC regulators of the sport allowed him to participate even though he has the spring advantage

It’s sad that it was really the liberals that deserved most of the credit for promoting female sports, and now they will be the ones that destroy them.

Liberalism has some internal contradctions within its ideology. That’s part of what we see here.

I tend to think “trans-genders” are doing themselves more harm than anyone else by running away from what they really are. No psychiatrist would suggest a person pretend they’re something that they can never be, except in this case because of political correctness. In the end, I think these people are getting more and more mentally unbalanced, and no one tells them which way is up for fear of being called a bigot.

It is considered "fashionable" to some people to surround themselves with these oddities

Just like ANCIENT ROME. Tiberius Caesar had his own personal menagerie of 'odd' human beings...................

Evidently Title IX was meant to create transgender supremacy.
