“16 year old Selina Soule Speaks Up: Connecticut State Championships and the Equality Act”
There is no way that genetic females can run against genetic males in sprints. The transgender student who won the Connecticut state woman’s championship would not have placed in the top 100 among the men. The women who complained about this situation have been painted by the media as bigots and sore losers and, worst of all, have been told that they should try harder! To really rub it in, the transgenders are being given not only the medals, but some “courage awards” as well!
This is really a mine field for the “woke,” with (for them) only lose-lose options. Whichever side they take, they offend some minority. Even the LGBTQ community is not united on this front. It’s not just hetero women that don’t want to run against genetic males. Lesbian athletes don’t want to either.
So far this subject has not received much national attention because there’s not much money involved. Some genetic women stand to lose college scholarships. Or maybe they won’t. We don’t know. But as Deep Throat wisely counseled, we had better follow the money. There’s not much moola in track, but what should the rules be when transgender athletes start to take millions away from genetic females in lucrative women’s sports like tennis and golf? At this point, our culture does not seem to have the universal ethical basis that would allow us to lay the groundwork for these rules.
