Last month, ABC anchor Martha Raddatz was mocked by J.D. Vance when she tried to minimize the threat of gangs in Colorado taking over apartment buildings by force. “The incidents were limited to a handful of apartment complexes,” she said. It’s too bad for you if you lived in one of those buildings.
“Do you hear yourself?” Vance asked.
That’s echoing now on biological males invading women’s sports. On his HBO soapbox “Last Week Tonight,” British comedian/activist John Oliver expressed disgust that Kamala Harris couldn’t rebut Donald Trump on this.
“There are vanishingly few trans girls competing in high schools anywhere,” Oliver claimed. “Even if there were more, trans kids, like all kids, vary in athletic ability and there is no evidence they pose any threat to safety or fairness.”
Out came the “no evidence” argument, which is simply overstated. You can easily find evidence, like 17-year-old volleyball player Payton McNabb getting injured in the head and neck and suffering partial paralysis after getting spiked in the face by a man in 2022. But Oliver dismissed her and her side. “It’s very weird for you to be so focused on the subject,” he said as he focused on the subject.
MSNBC anchor Jen Psaki echoed Oliver, taking after Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.) telling The New York Times he didn’t want his girls to be run over on the field by a male. The backlash among Democrats was intense.
“Reflection is good, but if that were actually an issue at thousands of schools across the country it would be worthy of a debate,” she said. “There are just incredibly few examples of transgender girls playing in youth sports, and when we do see these examples, there is no evidence that these kids are a threat to safety or fairness.”
Psaki mocked the red states who passed bans on boys in girls’ sports since they could only find one in Utah and one in South Dakota. She may have a point, since it’s in blue states where this is all the rage, and the blue states wouldn’t dare offend the LGBTQ forces. The social contagion of transgenderism is at odds with the notion that the number is “vanishingly few.”
Oliver and Psaki are mad that this was a losing issue for Democrats. A survey from the University of Chicago found that 65% of Americans said transgender athletes should never or rarely be allowed to compete in sports leagues that don’t match their biological sex. The election seems to have underlined it.
“Trump and the Republicans have managed to amplify their bad-faith attacks to the point where people do have concerns, as misguided and misinformed though those concerns may be,” Psaki claimed. On the Left, any challenge to transgender orthodoxy is considered a “bad-faith attack.” You’re “misinformed” if you think this issue isn’t insignificant. Dissent equals misinformation.
Psaki described it as a fight between “manufactured panic” on the Right versus “actual facts” on the Left. But this professional Democrat failed to consider the actual fact that biological males simply cannot “become” girls in athletics. They have a pronounced physical advantage.
The libertine Left creates a “manufactured panic” that laws against transgender crossover into women’s sports is “targeting” people and harming their mental health to the point of suicide.
Consider the actual fact that nearly 900 biological females were robbed of medals in sports competing against transgender athletes, according to a United Nations study titled “Violence against women and girls in sports.” Concerns about young women’s fairness and safety cannot be mocked away by comedians and cable TV hosts.
There’s no evidence that white supremacy is affecting coloured people.
This kind of argument always reminds me of a story my father told me when I came of age. A guy walks into a bar and orders a drink. Sitting at the end of the bar is a beautiful woman having a drink. He moves down to sit next to her and introducing himself offers her $10,000.00 to sleep with him. She agrees and then he asks if she would do it for $100? She replies by asking if he thinks she is a whore? He responds by saying that he has already established the fact that she is a whore he is merely negotiating a price.
There needs to be less talk about neurodiversity and more talk on mentally debilitating conditions. These are severely damaged people, and need to know the truth about their condition, They are suffering from a psychotic delusion, that has been socially conditioned to epidemic proportions by all the inane encouraging, cheerleading, and coddling.
Ah, when the idiots who could never pass basic biology open their mouths…..we who did just marvel at their obvious stupidity. The left is not libertines they are the maggot perverts
using any way available to destroy the fundamental reality, genetically verifiable, that men and women are different.
Actually, this reminds me of the scene in “1984” when the interrogator holds up three fingers and insists that they are four. only to torture Winston Smith for seeing only three.
There is a point where the “libertine Left” and libertarians begin to blend.
Ah, the obsequious Psaki who swooned over (s)he-man Emhof who revealed that his granpaw taught him how to scramble eggs… y’know, first you remove the shell, y’know, make them susceptible, then you beat the hell out of them…
And she just needs the Emhof example to draw this singular conclusion. So then the math follows: “There are just incredibly few examples of transgender girls playing in youth sports, and when we do see these examples, there is no evidence that these kids are a threat to safety or fairness.”
When, however few of these examples there are arithmetically speaking, every single example statistically proves the threat to “safety or fairness” – every single one. The Payton McNabb “example” would have been a crime in any other circumstance – but, hey, sports have rules…
I believe we are going to look back on this time in our history and marvel that we even did this type of stuff, especially butchering adolescents sexuality with some kind of social consent. Really weird.
Yes. So few of these trans athletes that very soon there are unlikely to be any biological women, not one in fact, holding an individual title or record. That alone should underline the insanity here.
“There are vanishingly few trans girls competing in high schools anywhere,”
Statistically that may be true..HOWEVER all it takes is ONE big guy to destroy a womans life, as the one mentioned above.
Let’s play the same statistical game with guns, shall we not? These libtards are all knicker-be-knotted over a tiny number of people killed by the use of these items, but when that is put in mathematical perspective and compared to the hundred of millions of guns “out there”. But, for each one harmed with one, THAT ONE is all that matters. their answer for that “problem” is to come and take MINE away. Makes perfect sense…..Leaves ME unprotected.
Maybe i should be arranged that any of these males masquerading as women and who injure any of them, will be personally liable for her medical care and for loss of normal function as with the woman mentioned above.
Makes sense to me…. but still not good enough. Ban anyone with XY chromosomes from playing against those with XX. At least in competitive sports.
I wonder if people that believe what Oliver believes would use that thinking in a situation like this for example. Let’s say I think and say I am a heart surgeon and Oliver needs my medical expertise for open heart surgery. Since I think I am a heart surgeon then it shouldn’t be any problem.
Who gives a crap what some British jerkoff TV comedian /activist or Psaki thinks or says? I have wasted my time reading about it and writing acomment as have all the rest of you.
How do they reconcile the argument of so few injuries by trans men with Me Too – ie. every sexual abuse counts ?
But the emotional damage to girls having to compete with trans men is widespread.
Next time you need a babysitter, hire a trans person, what could go wrong…
We all know what happens after the camel gets his nose under the tent. If it were Psaki and Oliver’s tent they’d be singing a different tune.
