Ok now you can officially complain about it. I don’t care about organized sports or politics but I will agree that physically it is unfair to pit a former man against a woman. The secret to stopping all of this trans/bi/zhe/shim horseshit is to ignore it/them. Don’t give it 3 pages on a forum and splash it all over shitty left wing newspapers like The Guardian lol.
Thanks for givng me permission.
Ignore them? I think women have been doing this for a while and the problem gets worse each year. Its just been in the past year that women athletes have stood up and said enough. The secret is getting the men who run organized sport to live up to their own rules of creating a fair and level playing field and quit trying to acomodate these deviates. A man will NEVER be a women. The IOC is a disaster and so is the NCAA they are all about political agendas. The secret to this is grass roots efforts at the state level passing laws that forbid this crap from taking place. We are getting ready to pass a law here in Texas ending this stupidity.
Despite you claiming this is a small problem. there has not been a sport in the USA that has not been hit with this issue. In powerlifting (USAPL) a man was denied being able to compete in a woman's division and he sued them for descrimination. What a total waste of money to have to defend against this kind of BS in court. The USAPL rules forbid this stupidity. We had a female wressler here in Texas that says she is a man and takes testosterone, despite the UIL drug testing high school athletes she is allowed to use it. The referees not would allow her to wressle men so she was put in female division and ended up winning State two years in a row. The UIL bowed to this crap, bent their own rules and created an uneven playing field in sport. One female is allowed to use anabolic steroids while the rest are drug tested? Just yesterday a man pretending to be a women who is also been allowed to represent this country in the Olympics in the women's division as a BMX racer said if he wins gold he will burn the American flag on the platform. I am sure the IOC powers that be love hearing this since they hate America anyway and would allow it to happen. What do I possibley know about the IOC? Remember powerlifting worked hard to be included, My old friend Peter Thorn was involved for years in talks with Jaun Samaranch of the IOC representing the interests of powerlifting. I heard many details about these meetings. Nothing but a money hungry bunch of corrupt perverts. Imagine the president of the IOC likes peg boys and uses IOC funding to pay for them?
Why do I even give a shit.......hell I was a coach for many years working with quite a few woman's athletes. My wife was also a pioneer of women participating in sport in the early 80s when it was forbid by a macho society in Argentina. She did speaking tours and was on TV advocating for women's rights to go to gyms and participate in sport after winning the nationals and going pro. Women in America have also work hard to over come this attitude of staying at home bearfoot and pregnant and deserve to be able to participate in sport without men robbing them of their efforts. Maybe its time a few men grow a damn spine and stand up too. Mike, you aren't old enough to remember the 70's when women were not allowed in men's gyms. In the early 80's they still had seperate facilities and shortly afterwards they were allowed to be in the same gym after the spread of some of the big chains.
Is this now becoming a political issue? Shouldn't be but apparently it is. The U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights today issued a
Notice of Interpretation explaining that it will enforce Title IX's prohibition on discrimination on the basis of sex to include: (1) discrimination based on sexual orientation; and (2) discrimination based on gender identity. Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in any education program or activity offered by a recipient of federal financial assistance. I thought Congress made laws? Wasn't Title IX pssed to protect women? Might as well just get rid of women's sports and let them come out for men's sports. I saw that a few times in football and it didn't end up very good.
Title IX was meant to create equality in sports and prohibits sex-based discrimination in any school or other education program who receive federal funding Now they are demanding men be able to participate in women's sports? Title IX never included gender identity or sexual orientation. We have always had gays playing sports especially in women's softball but they are still biologically women. I guess now we can have men play women's volleyball while the woman who earned a spot on the team sit on the bench watching. There goes your scholarship baby.
Mike, apparently this is a subject that pisses a lot of us off. Other wise there wouldn't be 3 pages.
