Skate Canada has revised its policy to allow any two athletes, regardless of their gender identities, for domestic competition.

On Tuesday, Canada’s governing body for figure skating announced that the definition of “team” in the podium pathway for pair and ice dance teams would be changed to “a team consists of two skaters.”

The previous definition of ‘team’ was one woman and one man. According to the news release, this definition was “inconsistent with Skate Canada’s vision of Skating for Everyone and Skate Canada’s commitment to non-discrimination, including non-discrimination based on gender identity.”

Skate Canada’s Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (EDIA) Operating Committee drafted and unanimously endorsed the recommendation to the committee in July 2022. The motion was presented to Skate Canada’s Board of Directors in September 2022, and it was unanimously approved.

I only watch figure skating for the women.

If they queer it, I’m out.

Recall that the major plot line of the movie was that two males could do a stunt that that a male and female were not strong enough to do.

Everything is fun and games right now for these “woke” governments, wait until the Olympics allows transgenders to compete in sports based on their so-called gender identity.

It will be interesting to see how countries that don’t go down that road react.

That doesn't look like a good IDEA.
