Transgenderism is becoming a dream killer for female athletes. Not for TRANS women – I’m talking about real women and I have a biology degree so I know what a woman is (and have been married to one for over 40 years). And this whole deal with Lia Thomas (nee, “William”, a former male swimmer ranked #462 but #1 as a “female”) at UPenn, pretty much winning every race against biological women he’s entered.
It has brought to a head all of what many of us said – men will become better women than actual women. we said that real women would be relegated to second status to men that were formerly hardly in the running. And now the dam is breaking over this in that those that have been quiet up to know have HAD it in remaining silent and letting themselves be railroaded by the militant LGBT activists who call the rest of us bigoted, uneducated, intolerant, and all of the rest of the epithets they hurl to accomplish one and only one thing:
Silence us, make us believe that 2+2=5, and have us disbelieving our “lyin’ eyes”
Especially when the Media, as Steve pointed out, is all in on this:
In short, condition us to their gaslighting and to have us meekly nod our heads up and down. Instead, just like Parents fighting School Boards that still say “we don’t teach Critical Race Theory”, the end game is to have us believe that this is normal – just yet another “instance” of the human existence.
And disregarding the fact that the rate of detransitioning is starting to skyrocket with many stating that their underlying issue was a mental issue and not “born into the wrong body type.”
From that post (reformatted, emphasis mine).
Do you remember what it is like at all to be a young woman? Just how overwhelming and mortifying and embarrassing so much of it all is? Embarrassment can feel like death. Banishment from a social circle is death. Sex and puberty and bodily changes cause so much shyness and nerves and uncertainty and stimulation. And then sometimes…a miracle occurs. Sometimes a young woman finds something instead of consumerism and hypersexuality and the light glossy sociopathy of modern life.
Sometimes she becomes a female athlete. As everyone knows and understands, women compete against women because otherwise, competition would be patently unfair.
…That the man with the penis undressing in front of them is actually a woman? What institution could be so torturous and cruel as to punish elite female athletes by forcing them to shower and change next to a man who doesn’t cover up his intact penis and is stealing medals that rightfully belong to women—and then also is forced to call that man with the penis undressed in front of you a “woman”?
And it isn’t just Mandy Stadtmiller (the author) that’s complaining. The young lady that got bumped out of the Ivy League Championship swim because a man took a valued slot away. Even Adam Corolla spoke up about Lia Thomas. Concerned Women for America went the Civil Rights lawsuit route over infractions of Title X. And this is starting to be conventional wisdom (again):
Given that Lia has made no real moves toward transitioning to a woman besides hormone treatments and simply verbally embracing the female gender — the male parts remain as does a reported interest in dating women, by some reports — this is all starting to feel very like something most women have had to deal with in some version or another in their lives: men supplanting them in accolades despite their hard work and achievements.
In short, it’s beginning to feel a lot like toxic misogyny.
Misogyny – now THAT’S a word that the Left throws at those of us on the Right. How’s it feel to have it lobbed back at you (in sorta a sideways version of #MeToo, eh?)
Consider the other young lady that came in second, competing but knowing that she would never win against a guy that’s really just a cheat to puff up his chest (and I’m not talking about implants or hormones).
And the other (and real) female athletes have had enough:
Female riders threatened to pull out of an event en masse unless male cyclist Emily Bridges was barred from racing against them, it is now being reported https://t.co/O3XB484dQu

Like I said, the militants LGBT have been trying to silence everyone else – and now people are starting to tell them to stuff it. No longer are they willing to believe 2+2=5. They ARE educating themselves and no longer believing that “hormone treatments” level the playing fields the way they’ve been told.
They’ve all become biologists.
And are no longer falling for the Victimhood lines that are being handed to them by those desperately trying to keep the grift going:
“Well, you know, I am absolutely able to navigate that,” Levine replied. “I’ve been doing this a while. But what I worry about is how those mean-spirited comments affect other transgender individuals who are more vulnerable than I am, particularly trans youth who we need to support and to empower in their lives, not to denigrate. So I’m fine, but we have to support others that are more vulnerable.”
That’s the “Woman of the Year”, 4 star trans female Admiral (health service) Levine (announced by Breitbart with the title of “Media Giant Declares Man a ‘Woman of the Year’” which also had this:
The poll of 1,578 registered voters was conducted October 26-28 by Harvard’s Center for American Political Studies (CAPS) and Harris Insights and Analytics. The poll asked:
Do you think that people should be able to choose their gender and pronouns or are someone’s gender and pronouns what they are born with?
Less than 40 percent of the respondents agreed that people can change their sex, according to the Harvard CAPS/Harris Poll, which also reported that 72 percent of all respondents said there are only “two genders.”
Feminists are finally starting to speak up:
Another Save Women’s Sports advocate shared a similar experience as Sousa. “I was historically liberal,” the activist explained. “I would say I’m politically homeless now because I don’t think the Democrats care about women and girls.”
So much for the former Democrat mantra of “Believe all Women” – dontcha just love quoting their own words back at them?
