So much for fairness: Transgender woman golfer wins mini-tour event, aims for LPGA

--- Quote ---Last week, Hailey Davidson, a transgender woman, won her first professional title in Florida, topping LPGA player Perrine Delacour for the win.

The same day, she was sent an email by the USGA saying she’s met the organization’s Gender Policy eligibility criteria and can now compete in its championships and she’s hoping to hear similar news from the LPGA via a reciprocity agreement, according to Golfweek.

So much for fairness in women’s sports.

In January, Ms. Davidson underwent gender reassignment surgery, and she’s been undergoing hormone treatments since 2015. Since transitioning, Ms. Davidson said she hits shorter and swings slower — yet she still was born a man, and obviously, has a physical advantage over biological women.

The science in these cases is clear. Biological men have more muscle mass, larger hearts and lungs, and therefore greater stamina than biological women. Their bones are bigger, and their testosterone helps promote muscle memory — that doesn’t go away even after hormone therapy. Therefore, transgender girls have a heightened ability to build strength even after they’ve transitioned. ...

On President Biden’s first day in office, he signed an executive order threatening to pull federal funding from schools that didn’t allow transgender girls to compete on biological girls sports teams.

Mr. M and I are huge LPGA fans. We're even attending the Solheim Cup (women's counterpart to the Ryder Cup international competition) in September. While I don't believe this she-man will earn his card to compete on the LPGA, as opposed to one of the minor league women's golf tours where he defeated Delacour, this still is offensive and an affront to all actual female athletes - just as that loser New Zealand male weightlifter who's being permitted to compete against women in the Olympics.
