The attention surrounding Lia Thomas is a clear-cut example of cheating in a sport. Gender identity has no place in sports, yet why is the left so supportive? It is clearly Anti-women! They can never spend enough time in a gym to have larger hands and feet like a man. They can’t do cardio until they build a larger respiratory system or do enough pull-ups to gain the natural muscle mass of a man. We could have a couple eat, sleep, drink, and breathe identical for years and the two will never end up being the same build. So why are we letting the left shame us into allowing men to dominate women’s sports?
The people on the side of Lia are claiming it’s only because she is winning that we have an issue. Precisely, if Lia were only placing top 12 or swimming in a recreational league at the town pool, I’m sure news outlets wouldn’t have given it the time of day. The problem grows when the cheater has something to gain. The NCAA doesn’t pay a monetary value for 1st place, but it will always be on a person’s list of accomplishments if they decide to coach or teach swimming for a living. Lia is stripping these females of their accomplishments by competing on uneven grounds.
I would shift the blame to the agency that allows this situation to pass their guidelines. The NCAA is basing their rules solely on how it makes them look, as opposed to scientific outcome. When the woke mob decided that men who identify as women should be eligible to compete as women, the NCAA crumbled and offered the thinnest barrier to entry they could: A trans female or man turned woman, must be on testosterone suppression therapy for one calendar year. Where is the evidence behind this? Show me the person who thought 1 year of testosterone suppression would reverse 19 years of biological growth!
A University of Manchester study from 2020 begins by stating that before puberty, the difference in gender does not affect the ability to play sports, as it is about fine motors skills and team play. The key moment is when a boy begins to hit puberty. The biological effects of elevated pubertal testosterone are responsible for the difference in athletic performance between genders. The study provided that the base performance advantage of a man can be 10-50% higher than a woman, depending on the sport. After the suppression of testosterone in men, they observed a trivial effect on muscle mass, size, or bone density. It does cause a decrease in all these attributes, but not enough to deem this competitively significant. The study quotes, “If those policies are intended to preserve fairness, inclusion and the safety of biologically female athletes, sporting organizations may need to reassess their policies regarding the inclusion of transgender women.”
The reasoning behind having a women’s category is to create a level playing field, however, citing a 2020 study, I would say the NCAA missed the mark. They are reformulating their criteria for the 2023 season, but it seems too little too late for the 2nd place finisher who courageously poured her heart out into the race, despite the unfair odds.
In contrast, Ève Gascon, a female hockey goalie, took the ice this week as a starter in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. She received a huge reception from the crowd and became the third female in the male-dominated league. On the other hand, Thompson received boos after finishing first in the Women’s 500-Yard freestyle. When David beats Goliath with a stone it’s incredible but the opposite just sheds light on the disadvantage in the first place. If you watched someone drink a bottle of whiskey, then a glass of water, would you consider them sober? Self-Identity has no place in sports, and we need to stick to facts. By becoming an all-inclusive type of society, society has thrown biological women under the bus. What ever happened to believing in the science?
Identity politics is NOT about being “fair” or even equal opportunity. It’s about promoting “woke cultural values” as a means to transform the norms of society to adhere to the political ideology of the left. Much in the same way “political correctness” has transformed speech in this country over the last 30 to 40 years.
Its insane to think they don’t have a competitive advantage, Puberty as a man was his advantage!
THIS SICKNESS OF THE LEFT SHOULD NOT EVEN BE A TOPIC OF ANY RATIONAL CONVERSATION THE NCAA SHOULD BE ASHAMED. IF I WERE IN THE REAL WOMEN SWIMMERS SHOES AND THAT MENTALLY ILL KOOK SHOWED UP I WOULD GET EVERY ONE TO WALK OUT IN PROTEST.
For years women sued to have their girls play baseball, basketball and even wrestle with boys
through the high school level. Now when a man wants to play in their games it is a problem.
I guess they want it both ways don’t they?
There is no equality the democratic buzzword is equity.
Anybody who thinks this is in the name of Equity is an idiot. In the language of the left, “Equity” is equality of outcomes. 1) Allowing a guy who suddenly decided he wanted to be a girl, to compete against girls does nothing by deny outcomes for actual biological girls. 2) If “Equity” is so important, then I’ll believe it when Nancy Pelosi redistributes her $125 million net worth across thousands of poorer people so that everyone is now living on the US median income of about $31K. Including Pelosi. So this “Equity” thing is total BS.
In the end, this is one piece of a larger plan to undermine our society with the goal of causing a complete collapse, and then offering up communism as a “solution”.
WELL SAID! So why have the powers that be NOT ADMITTED TO THIS UNFAIRNESS! It’s time to stop this twisted thinking and return to fairness on the playing field or pool. Don’t understand how cowardly the powers that be are.
YOU GUYS ARD SAYING IT WRONG
IS NOT A TRANSGENDER WOMAN
IS A TRANSGENDER MAN TO A WOMAN
TRANSGENDER WOMEN
WOULD BE A WOMAN TRANSGENDER TO A MAN
THINK ????
IF YOU ARE NOT IN THEIR IDEOLOGY
WHY DO YOU HAVE TO SAY IT THE WAY LGB SAY IT
Science is like magic, except it’s real. The CDC & NCAA are magic shops.
Leave women sports to only biological women—- and let them continue to compete and test the records set by the women before them. To do otherwise is a total disservice to all that have worked so hard to get to where they are at. Let Common Sense prevail in this issue.
God made Man and a women he formed from a rib out of the side of man. The man and woman are different, in order to procreate and populate the earth ????.
1972 TITLE IX WAS BORN TO ENSURE THAT WOMEN/FEMALES WOULD NOT BE DISCRIMINATED AGAINST IN ACTIVITIES AT ANY INSTITUTION THAT RECEIVED FEDERAL FUNDS. 50 YEARS LATER AND THE WOKE FOLK HAVE MADE MAJOR STRIDES IN DESTROYING A FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT TO PROTECTION. SOUTH OF ME IN CONNECTICUT A SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER OF TRACK RECORDS ARE HELD BY GUYS WHO SAY THEY ARE GIRLS. IT IS DISGUSTING. NOW THE NCAA IS GOING “WOKE” IN CONDONING “GUYS WILL BE GIRLS” IN THE NATIONAL SPOTLIGHT. I GUESS THAT THE LONG GOAL IS THAT SOMEDAY TRUE EQUALITY WILL MEAN THAT EVERYONE WILL BE NEUTER AND POSSIBLY EVERYONE WILL BE THE COLOR GREY. TOO BAD CERTAIN GUYS CAN’T STAND GETTING THEIR AXXES KICKED BY OTHER MEN.
I think all th is preoccupation with transgender etc etc is a bunch of garbage. I guess the topic relieves boredom to some people. I think it is a waste of intellect.
There will never be Equality. Males are males, and Females are females. As a female, I couldn’t work on a car’s engine or build a house from the bottom to the top, or get pregnant without the male’s sperm. And a Male cannot bear a child, he cannot breast feed a child amongst other things.
I love when my male husband takes me fishing, I love when he drives the boat, I love when he takes care of the car issues, I love when he builds/constructs the home/s he did. Again, there will never be Equality.
Why can’t they just have a separate category for trans people? They can’t win when they compete with other men so it’s ok to steal it from women. Disgraceful! Women will no longer be able to compete with other biological women!
Why don’t we just call it exactly what it is, the Satanists never wanting to hear or see anything about God that will send them into a slobbering spasmodic episode. All the sick perversness is their way of turning this country into Sodom and Gomorrah reborn. It’s all evil satanic and immoral, an abomination in the sight of God. In all the generations since Christ’s death on the Cross, He has been hated, and those who followed Him were hated. It’s no different today.
These demons are soft on most crimes, unless of course crimes are committed against them…and for anything which goes against their sickness.
Are we going to be able to get out of this mess?? Our entire government is corrupt!! I know God is in control, but the way President Trump handled them, he may just be the only one who can get us close. If he can just learn to contain himself and not instigate problems for himself.
My granddaughter has been playing soccer now for several years , always played with her other teammates who are all young girls, well last week they played another team of the same age group and unfortunately the competing team had3 young boys who aggressively scored 7-8 goals with ease . They were so demoralized by this that it almost seemed like they lost all confidence and we’re walking off the field with there heads down in shame. The coach on the competing team was encouraging them to score even more , this is not quite the same as testosterone therapy but it’s exactly the same results, these boys did not hit puberty yet ( I don’t believe they did) 10 years old. Completely overwhelmed the girls who up to this game were undefeated and playing extremely well. Anyway that’s a FSR cry from 18-20 yr old college athletes playing at the highest level in sports. All’s I know is I played high school football way back in the day and we all dated our cheerleaders, those were the good old days, god help our youth and society, these are extremely demented and twisted human beings that are behind this purposeful and diabolical destruction of our good and civil society. God please look upon our souls and turn back these elitist worshippers of the devil.
