So, athletes who identify as "trans", can compete in competitions as another gender. Whaaaaaat!!?? Read a disturbing article in 'The Economist' about a swimmer named Lia Thomas, born a male but identifying as female, is competing against women in competition.
This is very wrong.
There was a reason competition was divided between male and female athletes because, hello!, males have more testosterone -- a potent anabolic steroid -- which boosts performance. That's why genders were separated in the first place. Now, if Joe Blow says he's a woman, he can compete against actual biological females. And, of course, win. And we're not talking about males who cut their nuts off, take hormones, lose their facial hair and fashion vaginas. We're talking about an actual guy who says he a girl.
Canada, as wimpy as it gets, actually allows male prisoners to declare they are women to be housed in female prisons. Whaaaaat??!! Way to give male prisoners access to women!
Apparently, this is all facilitated by "well-meaning" officials who want to be politically-correct and not offend anyone.
I remember a disturbing few incidents at the Patro Swimming Pool in Ottawa, where an obviously male swimmer routinely used the women's locker room when our kids were very young. He dressed as a woman, but we all knew he was a man. It was offensive and wrong, but the pool allowed it. I viewed it sick then and I view allowing trans men to compete with women as sick too. And what about those creeps who use women's washrooms?
The men who compete with women obviously could not win against men, but they win by wide margins and break records in the women's meets. Can you imagine training for years in the pool as a young girl, only to be beaten by a fake woman in the next lane at a big competition?! Wrong.
