One Brave Man Could Solve the Trans Women in Sports Problem
The idea of biological men playing in women’s sports is so preposterous, it’s mind boggling that it’s a real issue. If civilization doesn’t continue to decay into some version of an Orwellian nightmare, I’m certain future historians will look back on this time with confusion and utter bewilderment.
A Squandered Chance to Stop the Insanity
Somewhere, in the distant past, we had a chance to squelch the concept of men participating in women’s sports, but the entire idea seemed so bizarre, it was treated as a one off, and the can was kicked down the road, as we usually do when faced with uncomfortable situations.
In 1975, Richard Raskind, a male ophthalmologist, underwent a sex change operation. Interestingly, Raskind was also a decent tennis player, making the Men’s U.S. Open semifinals in 1972. Following his gender reassignment surgery, Renee Richards, as she was now called, applied to the United States Tennis Association (USTA) for entry into the women’s U.S. Open. In 1976, the USTA barred Richards from competing as a woman and established a simple criterion for eligibility, namely, a chromosome test.
The USTA’s wisdom in establishing a simple, reasonable and common-sense testing standard was obvious, but naturally, it could not go unchallenged.
Richards sued, and in 1977, the New York Supreme Court overturned the USTA’s ban, and she was allowed to play in the 1977 U.S. Open tournament. An opportunity to address the insanity was squandered.
The Trans Sports Epidemic
It seems nearly every day, there is another story about men dominating in women’s sports. From swimming to volleyball, track to cycling, biological men winning competitions and smashing records is becoming commonplace. In fact, while statistics are hard to come by, there are at least 23 trans women who have won national or international championships or competitions to date, and the list isn’t comprehensive.
To anyone outside the woke bubble of insanity, it’s obvious why allowing biological men to compete against women is grossly unfair, so I won’t dwell on that part of the controversy. Suffice to say that while trans activists argue that hormones and testosterone blockers level the playing field, normal male development during adolescence results in greater bone density, stronger muscle mass and enhanced stamina that is irreversible. While different sports governing agencies have grappled with testosterone level limits, they ignore the larger issue of pre-transition development that gives trans women a permanent unfair advantage.
Worse, failing to address the issue out of fear of woke mob backlash doesn’t make it any less dangerous. Fallon Fox, a trans woman MMA fighter, broke the eye socket of her female opponent, Tamikka Brents, and gave her a concussion. Brents didn’t last a single round in their fight. Afterward, Brents said this about the beating:
“I’ve fought a lot of women and have never felt the strength that I felt in a fight as I did that night. I can’t answer whether it’s because [he] was born a man or not, because I’m not a doctor,” she stated. “I can only say, I’ve never felt so overpowered ever in my life, and I am an abnormally strong female in my own right.”
Ending The Trans Women Sports Charade
It’s said that for comedy to be funny, there has to be an element of truth in the joke. Within the context of his routine, perhaps unwittingly, Dave Chappelle offered the most permanent solution to the biological women in men’s sports conundrum:
As I’m watching and laughing, it suddenly occurs to me that Chappelle isn’t too far off here. What we need is one brave man ranked in the top 50 in one of the big money sports to step up and commit to presenting as a woman.
Wait! It’s not as absurd as it sounds.
Whoever this martyr for the cause might be, he wouldn’t need to keep up the charade for long, and based on the International Olympic Committee’s ruling that trans women aren’t required to reduce their testosterone levels to compete, I imagine there wouldn’t even be any hormones or blockers involved. Sure, he might need to grow his hair out, smear on some lipstick and wear a dress out once in a while, but it’s a small price to pay to become a hero to future generations of women athletes everywhere.
Let’s say, for the sake of argument, that someone like Novak Djokovic was willing to answer the call, and he quit the men’s tour to join the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA). As soon as he entered his first tournament as a woman, how many games would Djokovic lose? The bigger question is probably whether he would lose a single point.
As he cruised through tournament after tournament undefeated, how long do you think it would take Aryna Sabalenka or Iga Swiatek to react? How would they feel about Djokovic sucking millions from the purses they might have otherwise won? How long before the ratings crashed, and the sponsors vanished?
Ultimately, the only thing that is going to stop this nonsense is putting women’s professional sports money in jeopardy. If or when that happens, watch how fast the self-righteous athletes and league officials change their tune. Somewhere, there is a male athlete who’s on the fringe of the men’s side of his sport, and one day, one of them is going to cross over and become so dominant on the female side, the issue will have to be addressed and a final solution decreed.
I understand it’s a big sacrifice, but c’mon guys, this is for the future of women’s sports. One elite male athlete in a big money women’s sport would crash the entire scheme in a matter of months, maybe even weeks.
He would go down in history as a force for good.
We need one brave man to step up…
