Guys win girls state champs

https://www.dailywire.com/news/31605/watch-two-transgenders-blow-out-girls-state-meet-hank-berrien

This will probably end up in the toilet (parf) but let’s see how it goes.
Sux for the 2girls that can’t go to the next meet. I would be very unhappy and probably not as politically correct for such a crap show.

It's the other way around. They are biologically boys taking drugs to be girls.

They’ve gone beyond being accommodated and are now gaming their situation to their advantage. High schools might do this for them. Less so, the day after leaving.

Not good enough to beat the other guys? Just “self identify” as a girl and beat them all! It’s a load of BS and totally unfair, were my daughter one of the competitors I would be enraged. This is cowardly PC administrators screwing over their kids for fear of being sued. Good reminder of why my kids don’t go to public school.

Hey hey hey. It's all about equality guys.

With our rush to solve non-existent gender parity problems, I imagine alot more guys will be claiming to be women.

The Olympics will have to eliminate gender divisions if they want to be PC. Feminists will go crazy.

I think it's great.

We should have sports be sports. No women's tennis, no men's tennis; just tennis. Same game, same rules.

Wrestling, football, hockey, soccer. All of them.

No distinctions by sex. Same lockerooms, same terlets, same equipment. Get rid of every and any distinction by sex not only for sports but for academics, the military, everything.

And I mean everything.

A lot of sport rules are set up for fairness and safety.

Different weight classes, age groups and even the size of the schools with a larger talent pool to draw upon.

I don't see how allowing these transgender persons to compete is in the spirit of fairness or safety.

They certainly don't deserve a spot in the history books for breaking records.

Heck the Olympics does chromosome tests for a reason.

Sex verification in sports
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_verification_in_sports
Quote:
The first mandatory sex test issued by the IAAF for woman athletes was in July 1950 in the month before the European Championships in Belgium. All athletes were tested in their own countries.[1] Sex testing at the games began at the 1966 European Athletics Championships in response to suspicion that several of the best women athletes from the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe were actually men.[2] At the Olympics, testing was introduced in 1968.

Initially, sex verification took the form of physical examinations. It subsequently evolved into chromosome testing, and later testosterone testing. It is not always a simple case of checking for XX vs. XY chromosomes, or sex hormone levels, to determine whether an athlete is unambiguously a woman or a man. Fetuses start out as undifferentiated, and the Y chromosome turns on a variety of hormones that differentiate the baby as a male. Sometimes this does not occur, and people with two X chromosomes can develop hormonally or phenotypically as a male, and people with an X and a Y can develop hormonally or phenotypically as a female.[3]

Did anyone expect the championing of transgenderism to result in anything different? Might as well end women's sports...or end this crap.

Stupid people/policies have consequences. Stop being stupid.

Just get rid of the sex distinction in sports, the law (including prisons), beauty pageants, everything.

These people trapped in the wrong body, proponents of affirmative action, athletes, actors, and whomever else all want it both ways.

'Equality' up to a certain point, more or less, is not equality.

Fairness? Ha! Safety? Likewise ha! It's all delusional magical thinking. You're born alone and die alone and everything in between is your own damn fault.

If the girl that finished third behind the two boys is your daughter, how do you deal with it?
Sorry honey, I know you were the best, but, uhh, you can’t go to Nationals. It’s bull****.

Even in the article one of the coaches said, "It wasn't fair to the girls."

From the article:

"Selina Soule of Glastonbury High, who finished sixth in the 100 and has studied the literature about Title IX and competitive sports, said of the rule allowing transgender athletes to compete against persons of the opposite biological sex, “Of course, it should be that way for math and science and chorus. Sports are set up for fairness. Biologically male and female are different. The great majority is being sacrificed for the minority.”

She's wrong. It's not that way for math and science, either. I'm guessing this girl has no problem whatsoever with affirmative action-for some things. Like the things she can't win at so needs a little leg up with (pardon the pun).

Like the coach in the article alluded to. He touched on the really subversive thing about all this. For some reason, we are being groomed to abide by ridiculous rules in the name of civil rights. The solution is not to eliminate the stoopidity. The solution is to find a doctor who knows how to do an addadicktome or a specialist in Choppacock procedures.
