Transgender man wins women's 100 yd and 400 yd freestyle races.

Which two?

Wishful thinking I'm afraid. Fallon Fox and Alana McLaughlin (both male and former military who transitioned in their thirties) beat the crap out of women they fought in MMA, much to the abject horror of the vast majority of onlookers.

TRAs didn't blink. And until very recently the majority of people didn't speak up for fear of those TRAs going after them.

Cutting the teeth out of the activists was always going to be the way. Very relieved to see it happening, even if Ireland will lag behind other countries (as it always does, when women's and children's rights are involved).

Serena Williams is retiring from tennis because she wants to have another child. Just another biological reality for a female and something that no male athlete ever has to contend with. But maybe she just needs to try harder because biological differences between males and females aren't a thing according to some? I guess things like menstruation and pregnancy will cease to become an obstacle for women athletes when they were all born males

A male athlete could never retire to raise a child?

Then comes the gas-lighting ("women need to try harder", "it's depicting women as helpless little snowflakes").

I don’t mind admitting I’ve said those things in the past, and it wasn’t motivated by any intent to gaslight women. Ironically it was after my opinions were being constantly misrepresented and taken out of context. It was in response to being asked directly what I’d say to a woman who lost to man; I said I’d simply say they need to try harder.

If I were asked what I’d say to a man who just lost to a woman, I’d say they need to try harder to them too - the point being to encourage anyone not to give up! And it IS depicting women as helpless little snowflakes when the point is constantly being made that women are inferior to men and men would dominate women and all the rest of it. I think that’s a shìtty argument which is self-fulfilling, or if it can be put in terms you’ve used - THAT’s the gaslighting.

That’s the whole letting women know they’ll never be able to compete with men and they’ll never be as good as men and all the rest of it. I just don’t buy into that crap. THAT, to me, is the ideological crap that ignores the enormous structural advantages which exist in all sports to the advantage of men, and the disadvantage of women, and women are simply regarded as being smaller men, or inferior men. Invest the same amount in women’s sports that is invested in promoting and supporting men’s sports, and then we can talk about what happens on the pitch, or on the track, or wherever else.

I guess things like menstruation and pregnancy will cease to become an obstacle for women athletes when they were all born males.

Their menstrual cycles ceasing is already a well-known phenomenon among women athletes, and yes, that IS a problem. Educating coaches and trainers and the athletes themselves about it, is also a problem -

"Believe me, I never wanted to have to choose between tennis and a family. I don’t think it’s fair. If I were a guy, I wouldn’t be writing this because I’d be out there playing and winning while my wife was doing the physical labor of expanding our family."

There’s so much is wrong with that statement, but the fact that it doesn’t occur to Ms. Williams, and I’m not sure it has occurred to you, is a bit of a head scratcher to be honest. Birds do it, bees do it, even educated fleas do it, and lesbian couples have been known to do it too, even athletes -

At the World Athletics Championships, Fraser-Pryce is one of the most decorated athletes in history, winning ten gold and four silver medals. She is the only person to win five world titles in the 100 m—in 2009, 2013, 2015, 2019, and 2022. Her win in 2019 made her the first mother in 24 years to claim a global 100 m title, while her win in 2022 at age 35 made her the oldest sprinter ever to become world champion. In 2013, she became the first woman to sweep the 100 m, 200 m and 4 × 100 m at a single World Championship, and was voted the IAAF World Athlete of the Year. She also won the 60 m indoor title in 2014, becoming the first ever female athlete to hold world titles in all four sprint events at the same time.

A dominant force in women's sprinting, Fraser-Pryce has won more global 100 m titles than any other sprinter in history. Nicknamed the "Pocket Rocket" for her petite stature and explosive block starts, her personal best of 10.60 seconds makes her the third fastest woman ever and the fastest mother of all time. World Athletics hailed her as "the greatest female sprinter of her generation." In 2019, she was included on the BBC's list of 100 inspiring and influential women in the world.

And she’s none too shabby in other domains either -

In November 2012, Fraser-Pryce graduated from the University of Technology with a Bachelor of Science in Child and Adolescent Development. In 2016, she announced that she would pursue a Master of Science in Applied Psychology at the University of the West Indies. A committed Christian, she married Jason Pryce in 2011, and announced her pregnancy in early 2017. On her Facebook page she wrote, "All my focus heading into training for my 2017 season was on getting healthy and putting myself in the best possible fitness to successfully defend my title in London 2017, but ... here I am thinking about being the greatest mother I can be." On 7 August 2017, she and her husband welcomed a son named Zyon.

If Ms. Williams feels she has to make a choice between tennis and motherhood, that’s entirely her own business, but suggesting that she’s only in that position because she’s a woman? That sounds, and smells like BS, to be honest. I have a suspicion it has more to do with the fact that Nike, her sponsors, don’t have a great track record themselves when it comes to how they treat mothers who are athletes, and will use every means at their disposal to make sure these women don’t complain by having them sign NDAs, meaning their real choice is between their career, and being treated like shìt -

Felix had privately felt that fear. But in May, she joined Olympic runners Kara Goucher and Alysia Montaño in speaking out in two high-profile New York Times op-eds about the lack of maternity protection in athletes' contracts. All three runners had been sponsored by Nike at one point; all three were penalized financially during their pregnancies, despite the fact that Nike ran highly-praised ads claiming to support and elevate women at all stages of their careers—including motherhood.

…

Goucher, the three-time NCAA champion, Olympic distance runner, and newly minted ultramarathoner, has been a vocal advocate for what is necessary for women to succeed in running. While she was pregnant with her son, Colt, in 2010, Goucher worked to be an active, visible figure on Nike's behalf. "Photo shoots, magazine interviews, 20-some appearances when I was pregnant," Goucher says. "I ran every single day. To be honest, that's when my popularity boomed. That's when I was the most requested track and field athlete at Nike, they told me. I was relatable." Imagine her surprise, then, when Nike stopped paying her—and didn't tell her. She found out through her financial adviser, after a missed quarterly payment.

At the time, hers was a single-income family; she and her husband, Adam Goucher, also a prominent Olympic runner, could not afford the suspension of pay for 18 months. Nike's contracts are exclusive, which meant that she could not easily turn around and work for someone else. "I couldn't believe it," she says. "I loved Nike. They said, 'We don't pay you to tell your story. We pay you to run, and you're not running. You have to get back into racing.'" After giving birth in September, she rushed back into training, to prepare for the Boston Marathon in April. During this time, Colt developed a lump in his neck.

"He had surgery on Wednesday; I had a race on Sunday. Looking back, it was crazy," Goucher says, her voice breaking still more than nine years later. "I had no choice. I left my son in the hospital and went to train. In this time, I'm everywhere. I'm supposed to run Boston, but I'm not getting paid. It was so stressful." She finally settled for six months without pay and an additional 12-month contract with a nondisclosure agreement. She developed hip pain that led to a stress fracture in her femur. She would go on to have hip pain for the rest of her career.

Make no mistake about it, transwomen are trying to compete in women's sport because they are not good enough for the male category.

That's all it is, nothing else. The TRAs arguments are ridiculous, but just put it to them as above and there is no answer is there?

Follow the money.

Why not? I say it is true and no one can argue against it.
