WaPo Op-Ed Claims Trans Athletes Will Help Girls Learn to Lose Gracefully
Breitbart ^ | August 26,2022 | Paul Bois

Posted on 08/26/2022 8:44:17 AM PDT by Hojczyk

According to Alyssa Rosenberg, the aim of school athletics is not to teach children the art of achieving excellence but rather to build character, and what better way to build character in a teenage girl than having her experience the frustration of losing that championship title to a biological male? Her argument largely hinges on the unicorn of “sports-crazed parents” who will theoretically use transgender athletes in women’s sports as an excuse in the event their daughter loses.

Rosenberg feels that high school athletic programs will enact full-blown inquisitions in which girls are forced to prove their biological gender.

Citing statistics that a majority of high school athletes do not go on to play in college, Rosenberg concludes that victories could actually lead to greater harm.

“A first-place finish or another win won’t ultimately be the key to a college scholarship, an Olympic berth, or the attentions of a pro scout,” she says. “Under these circumstances, parents have an obligation to foster not just excellence, but a sense of perspective, proportion and good sportsmanship.”

Hard work is important. But, sometimes, it won’t be enough, and not only in situations where someone else is cheating,” she concludes.

And clever men to fake being trans to get a nice scholarship, get through college and then go back to being men.

But hey, once the left fought for Title IX. Now the grievance needs some feeding and why not eat your past to feed your future.

Men competing with women is a metaphor for the Government/Citizen relationship.

Shut up and take it.

That WaPo headline must be written in a foreign language because it's totally incomprehensible to me. Then again, it's the far-left MSM WaPo, so what else should I have expected?

How about teaching these MALES to lose gracefully by having them compete against other MALES?

I am awaiting the first in locker room castration. The girls gangup and cut off the tranny’s balls

A trans eunuch is permitted to compete

Pretty sure there were winners snd losers before this crap came along. And since when is losing gracefully a good thing? I thought that losing was soul-crushing.

Exactly. Losing gracefully is the only lesson girls will be able to gain from girls sports in the future. That and the concept that they are inferior to men who put on a dress.

So empowering.

It’s more like these MALES to lose gracefully by having their asses kicked by boys. Thomas, that swimmer at Penn, would be beat in the same events he dominated in women’s swimming by 13 and 14 year old boys. Look up US Swimming Age Group records. He sucked as a swimmer.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URz-RYEOaig It doesn’t look like the third place finisher in this youtube clip lost “gracefully.”

So, the message to the girls is “Guys will beat you, and you will learn to like it.” How terribly “progressive.”

Has Hillary and/or The View responded to this attack on girl-power?

It will be interesting when they do.
