Many people say, “I feel sorry for gender confused people.” Which is an interesting sentiment. It implies that compassion is more important than doing what’s right. A gender confused person is not more important than a young girl who lost her college scholarship to him. Or the swimmer who spent her life training to be a world champion now forced to give up first prize to a DNA man. Or the little girl who didn’t make the team, because she was beat out by a boy. I feel sorry for the girls and women who are being forced out of sports!
If a man feels more comfortable posing as a woman, so be it. Adults are free to do whatever suits them best. But science proves that DNA stays the same. Regardless of drugs or body parts surgically removed or added, DNA can’t be changed. Why should we all be forced to applaud for fraudulent wins and pretend otherwise? Why should prizes for women be awarded to men? Why should women have to take a back seat to men in sports? There will no longer be women’s sports in the future, but transgender events with no drug testing required.
If a girl gymnast, identified as a male, and started competing, men’s gymnastics people would roll their eyes. They’d say it’s silly and ridiculous. There are moves that men simply can’t do that a 12 year old girl can. The same thing is true when it comes to women’s sports. There are acts of strength DNA women can’t duplicate that DNA men can.
It’s time people stopped pretending that DNA men completing in women’s sports is legitimate. It’s time to stop feeling sorry for transgender males and start being concerned about women’s sports. It’s time to speak the truth. Fraudulent wins are not fair to anyone.
