MACDONALD: A Promise Kept to Push Back on a Lie

Last November, I reported on an announcement by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to ban transgender athletes from competing in women’s competitions. The move began last year, after World Athletics required anyone competing as a woman to undergo a genetic test. The IOC met to discuss and announced its plan to require a test that would effectively ban men who identify as women.

This week, they made it official.

‘At the Olympic Games, even the smallest margins can be the difference between victory and defeat. 

‘So, it is absolutely clear that it would not be fair for biological males to compete in the female category. In addition, in some sports it would simply not be safe.

‘Every athlete must be treated with dignity and respect, and athletes will need to be screened only once in their lifetime. 

Closer to home, last year the NCAA banned men from competing in Women’s sports, and more locally, the New Hampshire Athletic Association dropped transgender protective language from its bylaws. Boys are prohibited from participating in girls’ sports at the state level by law, but as you will find in at least a few of the over 560 pieces of content we have on women’s sports, and over 400 on girl’s sports (there is obviously some overlap) but some schools ignored the law, and no one responsible for enforcing it did anything about it.

The boy in question (as regards the girls’ sports without boys in them movement) is the son of the sex predator, and while I may not be the first to suggest it, I’m wondering if anyone has really contemplated the potential depth of the predatory depravity of Marc Jaques. He is sexually attracted to teenage girls, perhaps since puberty, but never outgrew it. He has a son whom he, very likely, groomed to be both sporty and a trans girl to gain easy access to his preferred prey. Athletic, young ladies under the age of eighteen. When he was arrested the first time, images were found of local girls whose heads had been placed on naked bodies. Other photos, hundreds, accompanied them. Marc was no piker. He has a thing, and he worked it – try not to overthink that or you’ll have to floss your mind to get the plaque out.

Maelle, the boy’s trans name, may not have had any feminine inclinations; we’ll never know. We also cannot say whether or not Maelle was encouraged to use his access to teenage girls to provide his father with additional images. Still, you have to ask who else, how many, how often, and are there other groomed boys taking pictures in girls’ locker rooms to please a predator-parent? Bathrooms? Showers?

Or, and this is a bit more sinister, boys who are not transitioning at all are just using the culture the progressives created as a free pass to an otherwise restricted space, for themselves or others. This is the part where I ask why it’s okay to trample the student rights of these girls to appease a sliver of a fraction of a minority of cross-dressing males who might not be what they claim.

Papa Marc got busted and locked up, but his son played the season with the majority of the noise surrounding a free speech case and lots of pink wristbands. But there was a law prohibiting him from playing on a girls’ team. Yes, another law with no teeth, but we have heard rumors of families who pander to the transgender agenda, or may just be victims of it, some with student athletes, moving out of the state.

well bye

And I mean that in the nicest possible way. If your child’s mental illness or yours makes it impossible for you to function in the real world, New Hampshire is surrounded by fantasy realms where they both coddle and statutorily canonize your delusion. It’s not cheap. The pursuit of the Bigfoot named trans rights comes at a heavy regulatory price to your freedom and pocketbook. Higher taxes, fewer liberties, more top-down control, sluggish bureaucracies, billions spent on progressive pipe dreams that never come to pass, plus the significant loss of resources to waste, fraud, and abuse.

I suppose, if you are willing to believe a boy is a girl and has a right to deny girls the benefits of athletics, self-worth, accomplishment, privacy, freedom from opportunistic sex predators, then you also believe that same government that disarms you, takes your money, makes crimes legal, defunds the police, and supports criminal aliens and open borders will guarantee your safety in exchange.

Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

As for the transgender agenda refugee resettlement program, I wish that it worked with all Democrats. We keep lowering taxes and incrementally increasing liberty, but they won’t leave, preferring to wait so they can undo those advances. And they are not even shy about it. No wallflowers staring at their shoes, they repeatedly push income taxes, tax hikes, and burdensome regulations, in part because there are just enough fake Republicans that they might have a shot of at least getting it out of the NH House.

Regardless of your opinion or lack of one on the question of gender bending or boys robbing girls of spots on teams, or medals, or trophies (real women lost medals to men at the last summer Olympics), Democrats will steal whatever else they can from all of you if you dare allow them to assume any sort of majority in any legislature.

There’s no other way, think COVID but with everything, and neither the IOC nor anyone else will be able to protect you from what follows. Look at Virginia or NYC for examples if you need them. And you can’t just not vote for Democrats. You have to show up on election day and vote against them, or boys in girls’ locker rooms will actually be the least of your problems.
