Swim star Riley Gaines on Friday called out two transgender girls who had qualified for the state finals but failed to show up, archly noting: 'Did they realize they clearly possess an unfair advantage?'

Gaines, a college swimmer, has become a campaigner against trans people in sport since she competed against Lia Thomas.

The NCAA champ argues that having trans people in school sports discourages others from competing.

Place-thieves. Will they whine about how mean everyone is to them?

Absolutely they did. That is exactly why they are pretending to be women and competing in women's sports. They know they can handily beat all the women. It's absolutely intentional.

How about a third category then? Men, women, unspecified.

There’s this French or Latin term that means “self-described.” Can’t remember it at the moment.

“Soi-disant”, self-styled or self-described

It’s french, pronounced SuAR-dee-SANT

They realized it. That’s why they did it.

I’m glad to see that Riley Gaines has hooked up with Turning Point USA, involved in leading the fight for conservative women. She’s a good spokesman. (Not sayin’ “spokesPERSON”.)

How is it that the Woke can complain that Americans live on stolen land (i.e., stolen from indigenous people—Injuns), yet not complain when boys pretending to be girls steal athletic events from girls who have trained for them for their entire lives?

The invasion of women's sports by men is our greatest opportunity to split the Woke Movement right down the middle.

Our banners should read "The Woke Movement hates women!"

Wokesters steal their sports and Woke teachers refuse to teach them math and science (because it is, the Wokesters claim, racist).

There is a similar opportunity in the Asian community (minus the sports angle).

Most women vote for government that is destroying women’s sports. Blame those women for how they vote.

“the trans boys really are not holding up their end”

Maybe they are. We don’t know what goes on in the privacy of their own homes.

Here's a link to another article.

2 trans female athletes drop out of state track championships following controversy

But, here's what's preposterous about the response by the CIF - California Interscholastic Federation.

"The CIF is disappointed for two of our student-athletes and their families because due to the actions of others, they found it necessary to withdraw from the state track and field championships out of concern for the student’s wellbeing. the CIF strongly denounces discriminatory or harassing behaviors that impact our student-athletes opportunities to participate in interscholastic competitions."

So, the CIF is basically saying - hey we support cheating and we're disappointed that the two males didn't get a chance to take away awards from females.

It’s not fair, yet Hollywood dipicts woman superiority across the various genre’s. Maybe the gender dysphoric aligns with the Hollywood model.

And after whining how they are being treated unfairly they will complain the young women don’t want to look at their junk in the locker room.
