Oh hell, let’s jump right into the fire with a controversial hot-button topic right off the bat – transgender athletes.
On the surface it doesn’t seem like a big deal. Wimpy boys who feel like girls inside and have probably played with girls instead of boys most of their lives and cannot compete with boys straight-up, decide to play with girls – as a girl.
Okay, probably more complicated than that, but it’s the gist of of it. As much as the politically-correct sect wants us to believe that men and women are equal across the board and women can do anything men can is true to a point. Yes, women and men can be astronauts or engineers or a CEO of a Fortune 500 company. However when it comes to physical strength, the AVERAGE woman has less muscle mass than the AVERAGE man. This is a fact. Are there some women that are stronger then men? Of course. Are some women faster than some men? Absolutely.
But the issue at hand here is the average high school boy sprinter is faster than the average or above average girl sprinter. And we can make that statement for swimming or any other sport that requires speed or strength. And the liberals, the Biden Administration, and the so-called LGBQTQ community is all-in supporting the demise of girls athletics in support of dudes who feel like girls.
I find it funny that America’s favorite dyke athlete, Megan Rapinoe, is fully supportive of boys playing as girls. Of course she’s not a parent of a girl impacted, and she made the statement on her way out the door to retirement, but it’s funny because what if she and her teammates lost their roster spot to player who “identifies” as female, but spent their growth years as a boy….That question was never asked, of course. Imagine the change in tide if former Division-1 soccer player Johnny, who couldn’t realize his dream of playing beyond school because, well, he just wasn’t good enough, made the decision to now identify as Joanna, and play for Team USA?
It hasn’t happened, you say….but oh, it will….
And then you say, but it’s OK, because Joanna is a female, despite the third-leg and should be afforded the opportunity to play, even though it will displace a biologically female athlete. I’d love to hear Megan’s thoughts on this topic, since a mediocre D-1 male soccer player is probably better than most of the majority of Team USA.
But wait, you say these women are national treasures and the best in the world. And you would be absolutely correct – they are amongst the best women soccer players in the world – World Cup titles and Olympic gold medals demonstrate this fact.
My response to this is – Yes, they are amongst the best FEMALE soccer players on planet earth, but would be annihilated by D-1 college team. In fact in 2017 Team USA lost to a 15U team of boys. 15U means boys 15 years of age and under. Boys not old enough to drive. Now would they win a best of 5 or 7 series? Who knows. The fact that a group of mid-puberty boys can hang with the best women on planet earth should hammer it home – it’s a bad idea to let boys that feel like girls play on girls teams at the expense of a girl’s roster spot.
There is a golf controversy with a person named Hailey Davidson, the trans golfer who is trying to play LPGA-sanctioned events. Hailey seemed like a nice person, in interviews however there is a very strong resemblance in size and looks to Rex Ryan, the former NFL coach. Hailey is big. Linebacker size. Outdrives the biological females by 30-40 yards, shortening the course and enhancing birdie opportunities.
And each time Haley makes the cut, she is keeping a biological female out of the money.
But golf is not all about strength, you say. And true – you drive for show and putt for dough – however you’re not putting if you’re not getting to the green.
The average drive off the tee using a drive on the LPGA Tour – the best of the best female golfers on planet earth – is roughly 250 yards. The PGA average is about 290 yards. Of course on both tours many hit farther and the average takes into account holes where you can’t go long due to water or a dog-leg.
For the sake of argument, let’s say the top LPGA player’s distance off the tee on the range is about 275 yards. Now chomp on this – A really good high-school age boy – a boy ranked in the Top 150 – will typically hit his driver 300 yards or further. A boy with less than 280 yards isn’t likely to get a sniff from a good college team.
I could dive into the whole Ivy League swimming controversy, and maybe will at a later date as it’s been covered.
I’m simply stating that common sense tells you that boys and girls should not be competing for medals, trophies and college scholarships on the same field. And as a parent of a decorated female high school athlete where some tournaments were winner-take-all – meaning only the winner went to the next level or qualified for a nationwide or worldwide event – how is it OK if a boy took that slot instead of my daughter or your daughter, granddaughter, niece, sister or cousin?
