“It is surely unfair on women who have to compete against people who, biologically, are still men,” tennis legend Martina Navratilova recently proclaimed. “You can’t just proclaim yourself a female and be able to compete against women. There must be some standards, and having a penis and competing as a woman would not fit that standard.”
Activists blasted Navratilova as “transphobic” and years after she identified as a lesbian the tennis star was booted from the board of a LBGT nonprofit. Long before any of that happened, women who were biologically still men were competing against other women. The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) deployed such athletes in the quest to show the superiority of “scientific” Communist dictatorship over the democratic nations of the West.
For example, shot putter and discus thrower Tamara Natanovna Press won three gold medals and one silver medal at the 1960 and 1964 Olympics. From 1959 to 1965 Tamara Natanovna set five world records in shot put and six in discus. In 1960, the USSR, then headed by Nikita Khrushchev, famous for his “History is on our side. We will bury you” prophecy, awarded Tamara the Order of Lenin.
At the 1960 Olympics Irina Natanovna Press, holder of many world records, won a gold medal in the 80 meter hurdles and in 1964 bagged gold in the pentathlon. The pair’s heavy masculine features got them dubbed “the Press brothers,” and after the introduction of mandatory gender testing in 1966 the Soviet duo suddenly disappeared. Decades later, their brand unfair advantage would gain a revival.
In 2018, Terry Miller of Bloomfield High in Connecticut “set a girls state indoor record of 6.95 seconds” in the 55-meter dash. Andraya Yearwood, who is also “transitioning to female,” finished second with a time of 7.01. On the other hand, the third-place finisher, with a time of 7.23, was “not transgender.” Like Martina Navratilova, some lesbian activists find this disturbing.
Julia Beck told Tucker Carlson of Fox News that “women and girls all share a biological reality” that men can never share, no matter what surgery they might undergo. “In many states, men can legally identify themselves as female and gain access to women’s single-sex spaces,” Beck explained, “and sports is just one institution where men are taking titles, scholarships, and this is a problem.” Beck was kicked off the Baltimore mayor’s LGBTQ commission, she said, “simply for stating biological facts.”
Beck and Navratilova had violated the leftist orthodoxy that men and women are “undifferentiated” and that gender is a “construct” of society. Actually, nature determines male and female, and the expensive surgeries the transgendered undergo are literally constructs. Females get a tooling installation and men endure a tuck-and-roll job.
Indian athlete Santhi Soundarajan failed a gender test and was stripped of her silver medal for the 800 meters at the 2006 Asian games. This was “unethical and biased,” Soundarajan complained. “Sports federations should come up with a solution to this, rather than ostracizing somebody.” Here automotive competitions can provide some guidance.
Drag racing features categories for “stock” automobiles, untouched from factory specifications, and “funny cars” and other vehicles altered with bigger engines, superchargers and such. Likewise, males who get tuck-and-roll surgery should compete only against others similarly deconstructed, and not against women and girls who are “stock” and from their creator. The altered types, for their part, also create difficulties in fields such as criminal justice.
Convicted murderer Rodney Quine didn’t like the conditions in California’s tough Mule Creek State Prison, so he claimed he was really a woman. In 2015, federal judge Jon Tigar, an Obama appointee, ruled that denial of the operation was “cruel and unusual punishment” and ordered the state of California to pay for the sex-change operation, which cost $100,000. After the rebranded “Shiloh Heavenly Quine” transferred to the women’s prison at Chowchilla, Tigar ordered that taxpayers spring for Quine’s nightgowns, robes, scarves and such.
Sacramento-area history teacher David Warfield got a sex-change operation in 1999 and became Dana Rivers. In 2016, Oakland police charged Rivers with killing Patricia Wright, 57, Charlotte Reed, 56, and 19-year-old Toto Diambu, who all suffered fatal gunshot and stab wounds before Rivers torched the house. For some observers it was a he-said-she-said kind of case, but a woman named Anita Perry disagreed.
“This is a male, and please don’t dishonor the innocent victims,” Perry wrote in a comment on the San Jose Mercury News story. “He is male, so call him transwoman or man. Males who murder women don't deserve the honor of being called women. If found guilty, I hope people riot if they try sending him to a women’s prison.” Good luck with that.
Meanwhile, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics did not bury the West, and for all their pretensions about science, the USSR never allowed the svelte Tamara and Irina to be tested for gender. Incredibly enough, the pair retain their Olympic gold medals and world records.
Tamara and Irina were often dubbed the “Press brothers” but today that would draw charges of “transphobia” and get the critic tossed from LGBTQ groups. That’s what happened to Martina Navratilova when she claimed women should not compete against “people who, biologically, are still men,” and Julia Beck, “simply for stating biological facts.”

The Establishment is imposing a transpendic upon us.
Some people now swear that because of inexplicable crotch bulges of prime minister of New Zealand and Michelle Obama that they are really men.
They way the establishment has been trying to force this every way possible, it is not inconceivable they would try this, just if they could really do it and somehow completely rewrite their pasts.
I feel bad for real women with masculine features, as they will be looked at with suspicion.
By the age of 14, the fastest high-school boys are beating women’s world records.

These people begin with absurd conclusions, which suit their fantasies about what truth and reality ought to be, and then contort logic into ridiculous entanglements to try to support those conclusions.
It's hilarious!
What's also hilarious is that large numbers of people fall for it!

Actual social injustice in this country has been defeated. Slavery has been abolished, lynchings have ended, segregation has been systematically destroyed. Now that all of these Democrat Party institutions have been dismantled, the social justice hustlers need something to justify their existence (and jobs, and funding).
They seek to normalize their behavior to achieve easier access to MOLEST YOUR CHILDREN!

On page 37, the other relevant result relates to men.
The 13th research question addressed, of homosexual men who have been molested, what percentage were molested before self-identification as homosexual men, and what percentage were molested after self-identification as homosexual? Of homosexual men who were molested, 68% were molested before self-identification as homosexual, and 32% were molested after self-identification as homosexual.

The Left's Push For Pedophile Acceptance
I recommend not competing at all. They’ve already ruined the prospects for me concerning my newfound love of women’s beach volleyball. That’s one sport I really looked forward to after giving up on the NFL. If women would just give up on competing altogether because of these confused dudes wanting to be women, the networks would have to scramble to come up with something marketable for us to watch. Besides, women put themselves into this bind over the years with all their bitchin’ and moanin’ about diversity and inclusiveness, etc. ... not me.
If women want to claim ‘just as good as a man’, do away with separate but equal categories of competition and let them compete head to head against males in track and field events (before moving on to full contact sports).
If transexuals are permitted to ‘cross the line’ there is no more a reason to have the line.
This is the inevitable result of trying to enforce a contradiction. I love it. I want more of it, because it forces people to look at the contradiction, even if they refuse to see it.
You cannot change your sex. Trying to do so is the sign of mental illness.
Women’s sports will take and probably already are taking a hit because folks who enjoy women’s sports will be turned off and quit buying tickets as second rate male athletes take over women’s sports. If you are going to watch men compete, hell, go to a real men’s competition and watch the best. Who wants to watch the also-rans?
Due to federal laws, if women stopped competing altogether men’s college sports would end.
Correct.
Current boy’s High School record for the mile is 3:53.43
Current woman’s world record for the mile is 4:12.56
So the best male U.S. high school miler is about 18 seconds faster than the best woman miler in the world.
These are examples of the internal moral rot and decay that destroy civilizations.
No external power could have destroyed the mighty Roman Empire or the United States of America. They were destroyed by decadence: internal moral rot and decay.
Great civilizations are not destroyed by external forces. They commit suicide.

Ah, but therein lies the beauty of it all: women’s sports will not end as long as there are mentally ill men who think they’re women continue to compete. It just means no one short of other mentally ill folks will watch them compete on a large scale anymore, television revenues will fall dramatically. But, alas, women’s beach volleyball will no longer hold any allure for me... ‘cause I’m straight. I guess I will have to look elsewhere for my jollies, NASCAR babes.
the networks would have to scramble to come up with something marketable for us to watch.
