These people deserve compassion not contempt ? Body dismorphia is a sickness. Why am I seeing these freaks on t.v. or the news?

The flip side of this is that there can be no such thing as “unfair competition” between men and women if the radical feminist idea of “equality” is accepted as an undeniable truth. For this reason alone, I’m actually rooting for mutants like the one described in this piece.

How many biological females compete and win against men?

How many biological females compete and win against men?

There's the rub this author didn't get into. It's a one-way street. In tests of strength and endurance, women are at a disadvantage to men. Going back to the opening quote in this piece... "If you win because bigotry got your competition banned…you’re a loser.” No. The loser is the one seeking weaker opponents.

The Left’s new slogan: “It is what it isn’t.”

Too bad self-identification doesn’t negate biological reality.

"Real champions want stronger competition."

Then I guess he's not a real champion, or he would be competing against other males.

“Endorsing a fiction in a misguided attempt to preserve feelings is neither respectful nor compassionate. Men are not women. To claim otherwise is wrong and deceptive.”

Well put.

I actually want to see this “feminist” idea of reality play out in the military. Get rid of sex based PT tests and make everyone do the same. The camo bag and the base plate of a mortar do not care one bit what sex you are. All they care about is getting lifted and carried.

“Endorsing a fiction in a misguided attempt to preserve feelings is neither respectful nor compassionate. Men are not women. To claim otherwise is wrong and deceptive.”

And yet, the premise that men and women are the same in all things has been the mantra of the feminist movement since at least the 1960s. How many standards for public safety and national defense have been weakened accommodating that fiction?

Exactly. At least this current insanity doesn’t affect safety and security.

Not that I’m for it one bit, only that it exposes the inconsistency of the left.

If the Left admits that biological reality benefits MEN who say they are women, then we really aren’t equal, are we? The Left would have to admit there is NO WAY to make WOMEN equal to MEN in athletic competitions.......and they will NEVER admit to that.

Biological women might well have a physical advantage in long-distance swimming. Perhaps a fourth-tier female long-distance swimmer can go after some men’s records...

He's the biggest loser on the block.

Can't beat the men in his sport, so he goes out and beats the women in his sport, and thinks he's a winner. And anyone who doesn't go along with his charade is a hater.

Unfortunately Tanya is getting paid handsomely for making commercials on TV for an insurance company.
