Why would you imagine she votes Democrat? She’s a white Christian female who was homeschooled and excels on merit (despite losing an arm in a shark attack) as a world-class surfer. Not likely anywhere near the leftist end of the spectrum.

WTF is wrong with these trans idiots? Do they not have any self esteem that they get off winning competitions against women? Pathetic excuses for human beings.

I know nothing about her, but most women vote for Democrats, especially the younger they are. That is why I added the last line to say if she doesn’t then I apologize. 🙂👍

If western civilization only followed the Church’s WISE teaching on purity and modesty, condemning public women sports, we would not even be having this conversation, would we?

This problem would not exist if feminists would admit what everyone knows - women are inferior. Physically they are equal to 12 year old boys. As long as feminists insist men and women are equal, this is what they get.
