Trans runner barred from Olympics rips World Athletics' decision to 'maintain fairness' in women's s
« on: May 09, 2023, 07:25:07 pm »
Good news for biological women athletes.

World Athletics has banned transgender women from participating in women's sports at the Summer 2024 Paris Olympics  to "protect the female category."

That means all the work French native Halba Diouf has done is all for naught.

Diouf, born a male, had been looking forward to running for her home country in France, training for the 200-meter race.

The sprinter began treatment to transition as an adult, and French authorities recognized her change in 2021. However, it means nothing for next summer's games.

You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

Good.  Mentally ill men should not be allowed to compete in women’s competitions.

Good. Kindly clear the lunatics from the field, and let the games begin!

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

If he can't compete against other biological males(which is the only reason he turned trans) than he should just hang up his spikes and deal with it.
