"We’re going to need the cisgendered Olympics."


In Defense of Women’s Sports   "We’re going to need the cisgendered Olympics.

"The state of Connecticut has offered a dismaying picture of the future of female athletics, with two transgender runners routinely outpacing the competition at the state track championships. 
"The two biologically male students, Terry Miller and Andraya Yearwood, finished first and second respectively in the 55-meter dash this year, crushing the competition. Miller set a new girls indoor record, and also won the 300-meter. The year before, the two finished first and second in the 100-meter state outdoor championships.
"Connecticut allows students to compete in sports as the gender they identify as, with no further requirements. If fashionable opinion has anything to say about it, this will be the universal trend. 
"Everyone is supposed to ignore the madness of it. In sports, the alleged subjectivity of gender identity runs up against the ineluctability of sex." . . .

Martina Navratilova asks: ‘where did I go wrong’ on ‘the transgender problem’? Umm... Trans-advocating magazine attacks her:

. . . "It’s been heartbreaking to many that an icon celebrated for their leadership on LGBTQ and human rights issues would break away from allyship, and join our enemies in advocating for exclusion of the most marginalized members of our community." . . .
