NPR roasted for claiming 'limited physical evidence' trans women have a physical advantage
Twitchy.com ^ | 3/25/2023 | FuzzyChimp

In response to a World Athletics Council decision to ban transgender athletes from competing in women’s track and field competitions, NPR made the patently absurd claim that there is ‘limited scientific evidence’ of a physical advantage for trans women (men) over women athletes.

‘Limited scientific evidence’? The folks at NPR have self-lobotomized in service to the wokesters.

We explicitly separate men’s and women’s sports because men have a physical advantage over women.

The international governing body for track and field will ban trans women athletes from elite women's competitions, citing a priority for fairness over inclusion despite limited scientific evidence of physical advantage.https://t.co/X6wySybGlY

— NPR (@NPR) March 24, 2023

Women’s golf tees are closer to the pin than men’s tees because men have a physical advantage over women.

WNBA basketballs are 1 inch smaller and the 3-point line is 1 foot closer because men have a physical advantage over women.

Feminism exists because men have a physical advantage over women.

We’ve got your limited scientific evidence right here, clowns.

“Limited scientific evidence of physical advantage.” You’re not a serious journalistic company.

No, they are not.

I’m going to enjoy this one. pic.twitter.com/fuQBNf5Xkd

Sit down and take it all in. NPR got a good old-fashioned ratio for this nonsense.

Wow if only there were evidence that men had a physical advantage over women. Too bad. I guess we will never know the truth. https://t.co/HjjD0TT8Wp

— Bridget Phetasy (@BridgetPhetasy) March 25, 2023

It’s a shame right? How will we ever know, especially because men and women are segregated into sports based on gender?

If only there was some mechanism of tracking the results and stats of sporting events and individual athletes so they could be compared.

Alas, we shall never know.

“Limited scientific evidence” unless you consider that men outperform women in every single track and field event. And no, lowering testosterone does not equalize performance.

— Jen (@Jen_Vaughan) March 25, 2023

Okay, there is that.

If there really is limited scientific advantage here, then why is this always going in direction of women's sports and not men's? https://t.co/Kpv1qlIRYs

‘Welcome to the NFL Combine! The scouts really have their eyes on I. P. Sittendown this afternoon … ‘

Yeah, not going to happen. It’s science.

Too bad there’s limited scientific evidence of physical advantage.

NPR is funded by American taxpayers despite zero scientific evidence of any benefit to society. https://t.co/OHS7nKnrcD

— Christina Pushaw 🐊 🇺🇸 (@ChristinaPushaw) March 25, 2023

LOL. Good one.

“Limited scientific evidence” that biological men have a physical advantage over biological women.

NPR is beyond flaming garbage at this point. There’s ZERO evidence that NPR is a news organization. https://t.co/wBb28qKTBL

— Doug Powers (@ThePowersThatBe) March 25, 2023

Not just flaming garbage. BEYOND flaming garbage. Ha!

At least you can warm yourself next to flaming garbage.

What purpose does NPR serve?

This is so dishonest @npr.

There is decades of scientific evidence for physical gender disparity.

Anyone saying otherwise is simply spreading scientific misinformation.

Shame on you, @NPR . https://t.co/oY4yE0tKIJ

— Pradheep J. Shanker (@Neoavatara) March 25, 2023

Unfortunately there is limited scientific evidence that NPR can experience shame.

The "despite limited scientific evidence of physical advantage" in this news blurb is positively psychotic. https://t.co/F737DWM4Hp

— T. Becket Adams (@BecketAdams) March 25, 2023

Accurate. We’re sensing a trend in the opinions here.

Why would sports be categorized by sex in the first place if there is no difference???

— Hunter (@IndependnTexan) March 24, 2023

Right? What an odd factor by which to divide athletes.

Why not by hair color or music preference?

Why do athletic organizations separate athletes based on gender? It’s like there’s some significant difference between genders that makes it necessary?

Perhaps we shall never know.

Cool so let’s have one league for both men and women of a sport — no quotas or diversity considerations — and the strongest athletes will compete for a spot.

Surely the left will be cool with the gender composition that results. https://t.co/zV6WB0mR7R

— Sunny McSunnyface (@sunnyright) March 25, 2023

Good plan! It’s sure to be a resounding success!

Wait … maybe that was sarcasm …

So we should just eliminate women’s sports categories? Since there are no differences between men and women, Eliminate the @LPGA close down the @WNBA?

— Polybius Champion🐂💨 (@PolybiusChamp) March 24, 2023

… yep, definitely sarcasm.

Hey, we won’t ever have to hear again about how WNBA players are underpaid compared to NBA players.

In fact, WNBA players will never play professional basketball again.

— Andy Swan (@AndySwan) March 25, 2023

Whoa. Whoa! WHOA!

You’re telling us people have collected statistics about outcomes in sports between men and women and you can just go around graphing it on charts, like all sciency and stuff?

This is a game changer!

Whatever your feelings are about allowing trans women athletes from competing with women, the idea that there is 'limited scientific evidence of physical advantage' is one of the dumbest things you'll ever see.

Just look at the record books for each sport between men and women. https://t.co/8ueprFCJc3

— Your Friendly Neighborhood Numbersmuncher (@NumbersMuncher) March 25, 2023

Mind. Blown.

Yeah, NPR is that slavishly devoted to the continued charade that someone can just call themselves a woman and make it so.

Why is this so hard for the progressive left to admit that male bodies are stronger than female bodies? If being trans is the result of being born in the wrong body then how can you say that there’s no difference between the two bodies. Why even transition at all then? https://t.co/gPlY4Z8Agu

— Kira (@RealKiraDavis) March 25, 2023

There is limited scientific evidence that progressives employ logic.

NPR has become a parody of itself. https://t.co/3XdzGxgNKr

— Tom Cotton (@TomCottonAR) March 25, 2023

It’s the publicly-funded unintentional Babylon Bee.

You clearly have not laid off enough people…

— GiraffinMeCrazy (@GiraffinC) March 24, 2023

Well there’s your problem!

I’m sure they would say Plankton is the “Trump” of Bikini Bottom.

(Even though I would think of Trump more like Mr. Krabs)

So tell us, NPR, why there are few, if any, “trans men” fighting to compete against actual MEN. Plenty of men in tights willing to compete against women. The other way around, not so much. I wonder why.

I stopped tuning into NPR 15 years ago.
About every seventh story it seemed was some crap pushing the lgbt bizarro world.
I told myself enough of this freakshow bull shit.

Exactly. Not only do they try to mutilate language, they mutilate bodies, and they mutilate minds. They do it for money (small m), they do it for their sexual mutilation fetishes, or they do it because they’re pedophiles or any combination of the three; usually all of them.

So there haven’t been any triple-blind, peer-reviewed “scientific” studies of the obvious.

There are two sexes and three genders. A law forbidding discrimination on the basis of gender would have no meaning. People do not have ender. Nouns and sometimes verbs have gender, minimally in English, extensively in other languages.

I may disagree with the atheist biologist Richard Dawkins on many things but he is correct on this:

Piers Morgan: What’s the answer?

Richard Dawkins: Science. There are two sexes. You could talk about gender, if you wish and that’s a subjective.

Piers: But when people say there are 100 genders?

Richard: I’m not interested in that. As as a biologist, there are two sexes and that’s all there is to it.

Dear NPR:

I will believe everything you say when a female, just one, transgendered to male is playing defensive lineman in The Superbowl.

I was shocked to find out NPR has currently 741 employees.
A very small number of people who seem to think only THEIR opinion matters.

Dr. $$$ can keep his illegitimate gender usage. I refuse to recognize it. When someone starts at me about gender transformation I shut him off with a grammar lesson and end “if you want to talk about sex use the word, otherwise I don’t want to hear it.” Using ‘gender’ instead of ‘sex’ speaks instantly of ignorance. It shows the person does not know what he is talking about. But hey, he is a liberal so that goes without saying.

If NPR was not bathed from its Leftist-spawned birth in microphone-close, loud breathy voices and pretentious classical music segment separations, many more people would realize what a vacuous, heavy-handed, hate-America, hate-Israel, hate religious Christians and religious Jews, propaganda machine NPR is and has always been.

There is ‘limited evidence’ that NPR has any credibility or a valid argument.
