Above — Lia Thomas (left) was awarded the fifth place trophy, and Riley Gaines the sixth. In another race they tied in the lead. Gaines says, “I raced Lia Thomas – and I still feel the burning injustice.”
Editor’s note: The only speech required to understand the wrongful and illogical inclusion of transgender athletes in women sports — by Sen John Kennedy.
So where’s the speech on the fact that ALL commercialised/corporately sponsored sport is a form of political manipulation – as demonstrated by the fact that it’s always bunged in with every daily MSM “news” session ?
The value of the transgender debacle is that it’s served to highlight said issue: there’s simply no getting away from the fact that anyone who unwarily steps into said arena is bound to become a political pawn one way or another
As exemplified by this 2012 nonsense, the issue has been manifesting in various forms for decades:

I’d say sport has always been politicized… from the Roman times. This speech is about ‘women natural rights’ really.
This whole idea of biological males competing in female sport is nothing more than CHEATING. When we older citizens were in primary school we were taught that cheating as with lying is a sin.
Those organisations that fund the sport(?) where biological males compete against females should be ostracized and have their products boycotted.
We were also taught to act as a gentlemen, fair and be ethical.
The act of denying a lady deserved entitlements is none of those attributes.
While at the Bar I remember running the GIO list day. I was usually mentioning about 20-30 cases for management. When a woman solicitor sat at the bar table, I would a;ways defer to her, “ladies first”, and continue with the list.
Then one list day a new solicitor, about 25 years old, appeared and I said again,” ladies first”, and didn’t think anything about it.
About 45 minutes later I finished with the list and left the court room. This air-head was outside the court waiting for me. She had worked herself into a tizzy and confronted me about being ‘sexist’. The look in her eyes indicated to me that she was a fruitcake, but I listened to her and apologized if I had insulted her. – As she continued to rant, I excused myself as I had other things to attend to.
After that I no longer deferred to women at the bar table. I didn’t need any further grief from crazy feminists that may be lurking around for a confrontation with the ‘patriarchy’.
Terry, you must be a mysoginist bastard like the rest of us.
Bet she did not grow up with a couple of caring bothers? You can always pick a princess (no pun intended!)even at the bar.
Women outnumber men in law degrees these days, if they can’t get across that XX and Xy are two different things they should throw their degrees on the fire. The transgender argument is so utterly stoopid it can only have originated in one place, the well-known deviant Globalists based in Switzerland.
