Gusty Winds म्हणाले...: Latest making the news is a high school track meet in Dublin, CA where a girl with a penis who was running with the boys with penises track team until 2021, transitioned to the girls without penises track team in 2022. Now the team is girls with and without penises.

I suppose we should all support the extended use of penises and testosterone.

This past weekend the girl with a penis took second place in the regional meet, earning a spot in the State Finals.

Of course the girl without a penis who got fourth, and was knocked out of the State Final by the girl with at penis, was seen giving a thumbs down on the medal podium. The pictures tell the story. 4th place girl is NOT happy. Turns out she rehabbed a hip that was fractured in two places in 2022.

Soon liberals and leftists will harass her.

Seems kind of CRUEL for the girls that trained...and got knocked out of appearing in the State Meet by the girl with a penis.

Maybe they should have separate teams for girls with penises. That seems fair.; २२/५/२३, ११:४२ AM
Gusty Winds म्हणाले...: I know I should be more open mined. Girls with penises.

I'm just having a hard time swallowing it.; २२/५/२३, ११:४४ AM
Darkisland म्हणाले...: There may be some cause for cautious optimism.

In a bicycle race week before last, a guy won the women's division. The race had a trans division but the guy refused to rid in it claiming that he was a "woman" not a "trans woman".

He won but the other women refused to accept it. 2&3 refused to mount the podium with the guy. They made their own photo op.

In another race, according to some guests Meghan Kelley had on Friday, women refused to rid in another race recently where a transgender ma wound up being the only contestant in the woman's division.

Baby steps to be sure. But still, steps in the right direction.

Greg the Class Traitor म्हणाले...: It's going to be interesting to see if the will to power Left actually loses this one.

It is nice to see that parents still love their kids

The question is, do they love their kids more than the love voting Democrat?

The Democrats want to castrate or otherwise mutilate your children.

They firmly believe that you have NO business getting in their way with them doing whatever they want to your kids.

The "extremist Republican" position is that just as you don't have the right to sexually mollest your kids, you also don't have the right to chemically or surgically castrate them, even if they want it.

The standard Democrat position is that "your kids" are not yours, they belong to the State, and the State, through it's left wing "teachers" has complete and fundamental rights to do whatever it wants to your kids.

If you vote for any Demcorat, anywhere, you are endorsing that position.

So if you vote for Democrats, and then your kids get destroyed, I will laugh at you. Because you brought it on yourself; २२/५/२३, १२:२६ PM
Mike (MJB Wolf) म्हणाले...: So what are the readers going to do now that it’s clear the WaPo doesn’t share their concerns about the issue?; २२/५/२३, १२:३८ PM
Leland म्हणाले...: WaPo now offering click bait and then switching the offer. Sounds like a Jeff Bezos operation.; २२/५/२३, १२:४० PM
Temujin म्हणाले...: Because the ESPN class of sports news is bemoaning the fact that on Brittney Griner's return game to the WNBA, they did not sell out the arena. The owner of one of the teams was miffed and shocked. He shouldn't have been.

The WNBA is alive only because of discounted tickets, corporate tickets, and the NBA subsidizing it through it's entire life. It MUST succeed they are telling us. You MUST love women's pro basketball or you're....one of those.

It didn't sell out because WNBA games never sell out unless there are group giveaways and huge ticket discounts. In other words, it was a normal night in that league.; २२/५/२३, १२:५८ PM

minnesota farm guy म्हणाले...: Apparently the headline writers don't have to read the stories. I have read that one of the biggest issues for women in sports is knee problems caused by women's wider pelvis putting added strain on their knees. Why no mention of that real issue while a whole lot of time spent on "boob bouncing" which as far as I can tell has pretty much been solved? Did the author write this to turn on the guys? How about a bit of analysis on how women's training and conditioning has led to enhanced performance as well as increased injury? Of course the article/author does not address the elephant in the room: trans guys in women's sports. Which I have said ad nauseam is an absolute no-no in my book and should be treated negatively at every opportunity.

A really insipid article - poorly researched and poorly written - about an interesting aspect of modern women's sports.; २२/५/२३, ३:११ PM
minnesota farm guy म्हणाले...: On the Brittney Griner thing. She was traded for because she is an American citizen and that's what one does for citizens. The arrest ( for criminal stupidity) and release did not make her any better as a person or as a player.; २२/५/२३, ४:१४ PM
Michael म्हणाले...: My solution to this self inflicted trans problem is to allow girl to boy transitioned to compete with boys. Boy to girl no. A compromise.; २२/५/२३, ४:३९ PM
Michael म्हणाले...: Will you allow your transition pleading ten year old have a tatto?; २२/५/२३, ४:४२ PM
NKP म्हणाले...: Linda Hunt won an Oscar for playing a man in The Year of Living Dangerously. Was she regognized as an actor or an actress? An actress, of course - she was a woman "pretending" ("acting") to be a man.

Hollywood had a better grasp on reality back then.

So, why in the hell is there even a discussion about giving a man a woman's tropy for pretending to be a woman?

I think there's a simple solution, here. All female athletes should simply refuse to compete with men pretending to be women. If schools, organizations and events refuse to go along with this, women should simply form a league of their own and exclude pretenders. AND, the media should stop recognizing pretenders as winners of womens' competitions.

Wasn't Title 9 supposed to provide women with an EQUAL opportunity to succeed?; २२/५/२३, ६:१३ PM

Women on trampolines?

Gahrie म्हणाले...: Does anybody know if either of the two Black boys who were pretending to be girls in Connecticut and dominated the girls' track meets a couple of years ago are still pretending to be girls?; २२/५/२३, ६:५० PM
ngtrains म्हणाले...: A week or so ago, a HS junior girl ran a special race at a track meet, She beat the boys.
The boy who was second is also her date for the Prom.

She runs the 100 and 200 dash , and has times close to the best HS times ever.; २२/५/२३, ७:०१ PM
Iman म्हणाले...: I’ll have more optimism when I see and read of multitudes of young women not accepting/totally rejecting this trans crap, not putting up with males identifying as women, reject them insisting on competing as biological males against women athletes horseshit.; २२/५/२३, ७:३१ PM
