NCAA Woman of the Year??
Jul 18, 2022, 11:51 AM
|
|
Well the NCAA (No Clue At All) has decided to name Lia Thomas Woman of the year. I'm in my 80's and this does not sit well with me. What has happened to women's rights?? This must be a record where a woman with a ##### is named woman of the year. Am I the only one that feels this way??

for this honor. I don't care if you identify as a five headed zebra, it shouldn't give you a chance to take a "Woman of the Year" award away from an actual biological woman. That is All.

I don't care what sex Lia identifies as, at the end of the day Lia is a biological male, and biological women should be outraged by this.

Lia’s university nominated her. You all have no idea how big a soap box issue this is for me. I love sports and want everyone to have a place to compete. I do not blame Lia for wanting to swim. There has got to be an open category for athletes like Lia. The female category needs to be XX chromosome individuals that have never taken hormones to change to a male. So have female, open, elite. Athletes can compete up but not down.

There are some people that are biologically in the middle. Look up runner Caster Semenya who is intersex. Caster does not fit in the male or female category.

But have been keeping up with this because I am a runner. I remember yelling at the tv watching Caster compete in the Olympics in the female category.
I don’t want to get flagged for typing prohibited words here so will not be medically explicit. DSD is the acronym for Difference in Sexual Development. DSD can present in different ways. My understanding with Castor is that she has a female bottom and non descended male parts. Again, she is one example. There are others. Because of her makeup, Caster has a testosterone range that is too high for the female category. She is also not built like a female runner. Look at pictures of her on the track. I believe that her testosterone level is not as high as a male.

It doesn’t. Just noted it as a side effect of Semenya’s DSD.

You mean jogger. I too am a jogger.
After 40 went under many age group records in the Carolinas. If I had checked the 'female' box when entering, might have won some $$.

As mixed up as Lia Thomas is, whoever made the nomination wins the prize for looniest. Disgraceful, dishonest, and disgusting.

Penn offered up the nomination no one has won it yet. I'd be a little annoyed if I was a female athlete at Penn and my school didn't support me because they chose instead to make a political statement with their nomination.

Not because some dude with a **** is preaching "acceptance" - but because WOMEN are the primary driving factor behind the push to "accept" someone who's is clearly a mental head-case.

Men vs Women
Jul 18, 2022, 2:23 PM
|

I was watching an old 'Murder She Wrote' last night. One of the actors was William Bruce Jenner playing a part with a wife and a kid. He was very good.
I watched that man in the '76 Olympics as he made all us in the USA proud. Jenner won the gold medal with a world-record score. It was especially fun for me being a runner as in the last event (1500m run) he did not need to win, just finish. He hung back but near the end cranked up and won the event. He is a champion.
Of the 13 decathlons Jenner competed in between 1973 and 1976, the only loss was at the 1975 AAU National Championships, when a "no height" in the pole vault marred the score.
This guy is an athlete beyond 99%. He never competed against women, and posts that would be wrong.
He married beautiful women, has 6 kids. I have no problem with how he chooses to dress out these days, but I think it to be mental illness. If he is happy, I am happy for him.

Does anyone else think this photo of Bruce looks a little like Suzanne Sommers in a Thigh Master commercial? I don't necessarily have anything against the guy (do what you want to do), but dressing like a woman IS a little creepy...

Jenner has been speaking out against allowing non XX individuals to compete in the female category. She stated that she has been on female hormone therapy for a while now and can still outdrive a woman on the golf course.
Females are going to have to refuse to compete to get this fixed.

You know, I think I’m right there with you, Tug. I have a pretty strong personal opinion but this is one of those occasions I have learned the best thing for me to do is keep it to myself and try not to judge. As long as no one tries to force their opinion on me ….

this is the left's Frankenstein. Clearly this is unfair no matter how they are monitoring testosterone levels in people.
Now we have hate groups like Proud Boys on one side and woke idiots on the extreme left.
All this arguing over things that don't really effect most of us while Rome is falling.
Get the f$$cking money out of politics first, and then maybe we can take care of some real issues like the economy, stagnate wages, a failing healthcare system, etc etc etc. You know, real problems?
