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

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.

Nothing to be graceful about when it is an unfair contest from the start.

This author would, no doubt, argue that the Jews should have been grateful the Nazis gave them a train ride to the concentration camps instead of making them walk.

But she would only make such a claim if it aligned with the Democratic Party position on the topic.

(BTW, the German SOBs did make them pay a train fare charge when possible to recoup some of the costs and to keep up the illusion they were just being relocated for their own safety. Yeah, you’re pretty safe when you’re dead.)

Teaching women to lose gracefully is teaching women to lose. And get used to it. It is teaching both men and women that the government may declare a protected class whose members have more rights than they do, this, believe it or not, in the name of “equity”. It is proof that the lunatics have taken over the asylum.

AND they get to guilt women for being “transphobic” for the lesbians not wanting to hook up with them.

All it takes is for people to raise enough of a stink about this, but they are reluctant because they fear being called transphobic.

There is another problem. The majority of women voted FOR this, because they thought having the right to kill their own children is more important.

Now the girls they aborted aren't there to support them, and the girls they did have are being forced out of sports from the policies they voted for.

Those of you who have read my posts in the past know I don't make excuses for the problems men make for themselves. That applies here, too.
