It’s Weak Men Who Try to Compete Against Strong Women

If it’s still inconceivable that 45 senators voted against a bill protecting girls and women from getting pummeled by boys and men on the field, court, track or in the pool, consider yourself in a good place.

It brings to mind an old story about legendary FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover. At one point in his career, he was encouraged to better understand the mind of a criminal. As the logic went, if one gets inside the head of a delinquent, they’ll more likely spot both the offense and offender. Only the pugnacious chief law enforcer of the famed bureau would have nothing of it. 

“When I begin to understand the mind of a criminal, that’s when you can begin to worry about me,” he said.

Whether driven by raw partisanship, intense hatred of the president, or a blinded and distorted sense of reality, support for allowing men to compete against women is tantamount to voting for inevitable abuse.

Fortunately, there is some evidence that some longtime support for the “trans” movement is flailing a bit.

California Governor Gavin Newsom broke this week with his liberal friends when he told popular podcaster Charlie Kirk, who strongly opposes men competing against women, “I think it’s an issue of fairness, I completely agree with you on that. It is an issue of fairness. It’s deeply unfair.”

Both Newsom and Kirk – along with nearly 80% of Americans – are right. But it’s not only unfair. It’s wicked, deranged, manipulative – and evidence of male bullies looking to cheat, steal and claim credit for trophies and titles that rightfully belong to female athletes.

Scan the stories of men pretending to be women athletes and you’ll find a familiar thread and theme – weak men looking for glory they’d never find if they were competing against other men. In most instances, a man who crushes female competition would be middle of the pack (or lower) if competing against fellow male athletes.

At the risk of stating the obvious, this is because men, on average, are physically stronger than women. From lung function and cardiovascular fitness to jumping, lifting and lean body mass, males have distinct competitive advantages over women. 

Only groups like the ACLU won’t admit it and instead trade in all types of distortions and doublespeak to try and suggest otherwise.

In a piece distributed back in 2020 attempting to “debunk” supposed myths about trans athletes, the group made the following statements:

“Including trans athletes will benefit everyone.” They go on to claim that prohibiting men from competing against women “invites gender policing that could subject any woman to invasive tests or accusations of being ‘too masculine’ or ‘too good’ at their sport to be a ‘real’ woman.”

Not surprisingly, they never quote any female athletes.

The ACLU goes on to claim men don’t have any advantage against women and that men claiming to be women are actually women. They seem to embrace the belief that if you repeat a lie long enough it will somehow eventually come true.

Discerning readers and culture watchers know there is no such thing as a “transwoman” or a “transman.” There are only two genders, male and female (Genesis 1:27).

We pray that despite the legislative setback earlier this week, the tide of popular opinion, aided by President Trump’s executive action, will help to re-normalize and give momentum to a common sense revolution concerning the distinctives between male and female athletes.
