What do you say to these girls?
On Monday, when Connecticut had its State Open track and field championships at Willow Brook Park, one person broke the State Open records for girls in both the 100 and 200-meter runs.
That person was a biological boy.
Terry Miller of Bulkeley, a transgender, won the events. In the 100 meter dash, the runner-up was Andraya Yearwood of Cromwell, also a transgender.
You say to these girls they were beaten by men with more artificial hormones than a Tyson chicken. That’s what you say to them.
For some reason, this ditty from Annie Get Your Gun comes to mind:

Betty Hutton and Howard Keel were great!
What do you say?
Quit being a poor loser, BIGOT!
I hope to hell that’s sarcasm.
Hey Buddy Mark On….
Who are you talking to?
Take a hike, namecaller!
Every time something like this occurs…friends, family, spectators and participants who got screwed form an opinion of this “inclusiveness.” It isn’t the opinion that the inclusiveness brigade was hoping for. Currently the Olympic committee is arguing that they need to lower the testosterone level of participants in half for transgenders. But, if you dig into the comments of competing Olympic athletes, the are all overwhelmingly against transgenders staking a claim in their particular sports. So bring it on…pile it up. Destroy women’s sports. I’m rooting for you.
Liberals always ALWAYS A L W A Y S overstep their bounds. Always.

This doesn’t make the inclusion of trans-women into woman’s competitive sports correct, but it would be great if Kate had a clue what she was talking about.
The category is “I, Napoleon” , Alex.
If my car is missing a headlight, at night it resembles a motorcycle.
It doesn’t mean I have a motorcycle, it means I have a damaged car.
Kate knows exactly what she’s talking about.
Try stepping down off your “contrarian sh!t disturber” soapbox once in a while.
It’s getting old.
…wut?
Lots of mental illnesses show up on brain scans – some forms of schizophrenia, for example. That doesn’t mean catering to schizophrenic delusions and coercing everyone else into pretending they’re real is a good idea.
That study also doesn’t say what the Telegraph says it does, but Hey, Gell-Mann Amnesia and all that.
1) I addressed that 2) Oh please do inform what the study actually says.
Someone mentioned this below but it’s important to understand the incongruity of progressive science. On one hand, “studies show” no biological, physical, neurological or gender-based preference differences between men and women, boys and girls. All differences are social constructs stemming from oppression. On the other hand, “studies show” trans-women have female brains. Science has become so political that I have little coincidence in whatever the current “studies show”.
In the majority of sports competitions, women will lose to 14 year old boys. To have natural xx teen girls and women compete with xy women will pretty much guarantee that xx females will always lose. Not just a race, but sports scholarships, self-confidence and desire to compete at all. It will promote cynicism and a lack of faith in basic fairness. Are people really ok with tossing aside non-trans girls hopes and dreams?
Wouldn’t it make sense to have a third category for transpeople? After that, if there’s no significant differences between the winning xx females and winning transpeople, then integrate the competitions. It’s a simple, real world experiment that would answer the question if transwomen have an unfair advantage. That “studies show” would convince me.
WTF is ‘progressive science’, aside from being another way to pigeonhole stuff you don’t agree with? Your arbitrary categories are neither here nor there.
I think progressive science is a good label, maybe not the best one. It describes science that starts with trying to prove a progressive political belief by any means possible. There’s also conservative science that has the same problems. Progressive science is the bigger problem right now because of the ideological conformity of social science and humaities departments. The replication crisis in research from those academic departments is not imaginary. That progressive science can find no male/female gender differences except when it pertains to transpeople is typical of its motivated reasoning .
I’d be interested in your opinion of the other parts of my post.
It’s up to you to demonstrate that the study I linked to is trying to prove an ideology, let alone that it’s wrong. You haven’t.
These so-called studies remind me of a cross between Pavlovian dogs and Lysenkoism science.
“It’s up to you to demonstrate that the study I linked to is trying to prove an ideology, let alone that it’s wrong. You haven’t.”
There’d be a obvious, simple way to test the veracity of the claim that transpeople have brains more similar to their identity than their biology: take MRIs of as many cismen, ciswomen, transwomen and transmen as possible. Ask multiple experts to sort those MRIs into male or female brains. Test the accuracy of the claim.
One untested, unreplicated study is not absolute truth. And, again, other “studies show” say there’s no big differences between male and female brains which is the exact opposite….so someone’s reasearch must be incorrect. Both are very much based in ideology that coincides with progressive politics. Women and men are identical in all ways *and* transwomen are identical to xx women in all ways. Politics: Disagree with the conflicting research at all and you’re a bigot.
I meant little *confidence* not coincidence. This lack of confidence that I have in scientific studies bothers me. Throughout history, science has danced with politics and religion but now science, politics and new secular religions are completely bound to each other. This profoundly diminishes trust in science.
The Soviet tried the same sort of fake ‘science’.
Schadenfreude! LOL! You asked for, no demanded it, now you’ve got it !
This beautifully illustrates the insanity of the gender movement. I cannot wait for the day about twenty former minor league hockey players decide to go for the glory and declare themselves transgender.
The women’s world championships would be a breeze for guys who sweated in the AHL for ten years. On the bright side,Canada would win the gold medal for years until other Countries decide to embrace our sophisticated ways.
And boxing! MMA! Think of the possibilities of turning all sports contests into a farce.
If I remember correctly, wasn’t there a trans wrestler who was beating the hell out of the real females at a U.S. championship a few months back? Whatever happened to that un-politically correct story?
Well said.
Welcome to the sludge of a sick society.
But then, all of it is a social construct. Isn’t it?

Not possible. You see…men and women are exactly equal. Therefore, the brain activity is exactly the same in both male and female. Right? ;D
The Connecticut State Director of ATHLETICS … Karissa – somebody … said; “there are civil rights issues that are more important than sports” (paraphrased). So the woman (I assume she is a biological woman) hired to operate and oversee SPORTS … is actually a SJW … who mistakenly believes that humoring mental patients is her most important job. And the Director of SPORTS … believes that athletic competition is meaningless. Unbelievable. And WORSE … she is singling-out FEMALE sports for mockery. Women’s sports were even PROTECTED by special legislation aimed at equality of funding! And then this …
Leftists are like a snake eating its own tail. Inch by inch … starting with their own arsehole.
My daughters box. Not professionally, but they spar hard, work out regularly with this and throw as hard of punches as they would in actual fights.
Both have “held pads” for a few local guys here in Calgary, and one that has had many national and some international pro fights. Both have said they’d last about 5 seconds in the ring with him in a “real fight”.
One daughter weighs 5 lbs more than this guy, and the other daughter (that is a very good woman fighter) weighs the same as this guy.
About 5 seconds… Macq has said if she somehow managed to stay standing 10 seconds, her jaw would be broken by then. That’s not something that would happen while fighting another woman. A real woman.
The transgenders, shouldn’t be racing against the physically weaker sex. It’s not fair, their “win” is tainted, as witnessed by those real girls running that turn away from the trans guys at the end of both races.
Those with a stake in this outcome, don’t accept it.
If their brain function shows they should have been born in a differently sexed body, they should be in the Para Olympics in the special category for those born in the incorrectly sexed body and leave normal people alone.
I dunno…they sure run like guurls. What a load of crap. Yeah, when Ovechkin retires, he can shave off his beard, put on some lipstick and join the Russian women’s hockey team.
Just read this on imgur. ” If the ‘B’ in LGBT stands for Bi, doesn’t that mean there are only TWO Genders?”
nyuck nyuck nyuck
There’s a simple solution. Let there be two categories of sports: women’s i.e. xx chromosomes exclusively and open i.e. all comers. Let’s seen then how many “trans” athletes win championships.
Why are there even separate events for women?
Pass a law that half the people on every team have to be women. And they have to get paid the same as men.
Because its 2018!
It doesn’t matter how low the testosterone levels of male->female transgenders go. These people grew up with high levels of testosterone in their body. Their skeleton is different — they are generally taller with narrower hips, wider shoulders and chest, and so on. That doesn’t go away by taking a few pills. Nor am I convinced that their musculature is that of a biological woman. They could well have more fast-twitch muscles than is normal.
The solution is easy. Transgenders, no matter what kind, must compete as men.
If a person born a man wants to be a woman, OK, be a woman. But if that person then takes their male physical superiority and uses it to dominate women, that person is an asshole. Plain and simple.
No sympathy, only amusement. Like the dude who changed to “woman” on his drivers license to get lower insurance rates.
All the people who claimed there was no such thing as a slippery slope, are complaining, bigly, now that they find themselves sliding down. No woman has ever been imprisoned for life for a false rape accusation; so I am fine with no athletic scholarship ever being handed to a woman for the rest of time.
I can’t see where this ends, if it ever will. Good people are being hurt. At the same time, welcome to your world, asshats. You won the culture wars. Live with it.
That sounds like a women’s issue. Let the feminists handle it. As a white cis male, my opinion on women’s matters is not welcomed.
