UN report finally shows what is glaringly obvious: Trans athletes in womens sports is a major problem

People said it was no big deal.Trans athletes in women’s sports are not a problem, they claimed.Why are we freaking out over such a small percentage of the population? Or, as soccer star Megan Rapinoe said back in 2023: “Show me all the trans people who are nefariously taking advantage of being trans in sports. It’s just not happening.”I can’t speak to the nefarious part.

But yes, it is happening.A blockbuster new report from the UN presents a bleak picture of this injustice — the one that we’ve been gaslit about and told to believe is as real as Bigfoot.“According to information received, by 30 March 2024, over 600 female athletes in more than 400 competitions have lost more than 890 medals in 29 different sports,” the “Violence Against Women and Girls in Sports” study said.That’s nearly 900 medals lost to biological males who identify as women.That sure is a lot of nothing.Compiled by Reem Alsalem, United Nations Special Rapporteur on violence against women and girls, the report was presented to the UN General Assembly earlier this month.It calls for better protections for female athletes and explains how the invasion of biological men into women’s sports was enabled by “policies implemented by international federations and governing bodies.”And while Alsalem’s study did not call out specific events or a time frame when these male interlopers swooped in, it noted these injustices occurred at various levels of competition.But we need to be honest.

It’s only been in the last few years that we’ve decided to shamefully replace common sense and fairness with empathy for mentally ill males.It started in Connecticut girls track, crept into women’s cycling and reached peak insanity in 2022 when Lia Thomas, formerly Will Thomas, transitioned and joined the UPenn women’s swim team.Not only were teammates told that they would have to welcome Thomas onto their squad — and into their locker room — they were also told to shut up...
