Female Athletes Forced to Compete Against ‘Trans Women’ Drop Out of Martial Arts Competition Madeline Leesman

Madeline Leesman November 15, 2023
 
A martial arts competition changed its rules regarding transgender athletes after several female athletes dropped out of a competition over fears they would have to compete against males who identify as women.  In an interview with Reduxx, professional martial artist Jayden Alexander explained that she and other females were scheduled to compete in a tournament on Oct. 21, but dropped out when they realized how many males were involved.........Ansleigh Wilk, shared that “majority of the women feel scared to even speak out about this matter. They don’t want to be labeled a bigot or transphobic.”............Riley Gaines, who competed against transgender swimmer Will “Lia” Thomas, commented on the matter.  “In the name of inclusivity and feminism, males are brutally beating up on women and being awarded for it.”...........

My Take - Finally!  This is what has been needed from the start.  Simply refusing to accept this insanity by refusing to compete with men who are clearly scamming the system, and know they're scamming the system, and getting support for their scam by a corrupt and insane media and socially destructive leftist movements. . The sad part is they shouldn't have  had to do this in the first place.   Entirely too many gutless lunatics are in charge of these organizations, much like the members of Congress.  You may wish to review Andrea Widburg's commentary,  Men are taking over women’s Brazilian jiu-jitsu.

Andrea notes in her commentary that she has trained in this martial art saying:
 
"at the dojo where I trained, men and women rolled together. This means I have experience grappling with both men, who were holding back as hard as they could, and with women, who were not.  Even with their settings on low, the men were more formidable opponents than the women were. 
 
They had greater bone mass and greater muscle mass. Where women, because of biology, had a lot of space and softness between hip and head, men did not. They were solid, without a forgiving waistline or more delicate neck. Theoretically, I could have choked out one of my women partners; I could never have choked out the men, whether in theory or fact.
 
Those are biologically indisputable facts, and for anyone to push these men into women's sports is insanity or cowardice, or both, but this is the tip of the iceberg.

The Babe is Still the King

By Rich Kozlovich
 
I typically don't do sports or entertainment in P&D unless it involves some social commentary although I did publish two pieces on Jose Alberto Pujols, who just hit his 700th home run, legitimately.
I felt there was valid social commentary in his story, not the quality of his athletic abilities, which are substantial, but the quality of his character.  
 
Over the course of my life I've watched professional baseball athletes work really hard at beating Babe Ruth's record of 60 home runs in 1927, which he did in a 154 game season.  That was the length of their seasons in those days.  
 
Are pitchers better today?  It's argued they are, and I'm told the stadiums are different, the balls are different and even the bats are different.  I'm not sure all that's true, and if it is, I don't know if it matters to tell you the truth, although I'm convinced the athletes are in far better shape than they were in those days. 
 
Whether all the other stuff is true or not is immaterial because no one has beaten his record in 154 games, including the only legitimate winner before this, Roger Marris, who did it in the last game of baseball's expanded 162 game season.  It's been proven both Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire used steroids. In this piece,  Aaron Judge hits 62nd homer to break Roger Maris’ record, the author states:
 
It’s the most homers hit in a season since Barry Bonds set his PED-tainted record of 73 home runs in 2001 with the Giants. Sammy Sosa, another slugger disgraced by his attachment to steroids, hit 64 that season with the Cubs. Sosa’s career-high of 66 came in 1998 during his chase with Mark McGwire, who finished with 70 home runs.
 
But now it appears we have a legitimate winner over Roger Maris' 61 home run record, Aaron Judge, who hit his 62nd home run, but not in 154 games.  He's legitimately beaten Roger Maris, at least I hope it's legitimate, but no one has beaten Babe Ruth, who is still the king, a man who clearly was in no where near as good a physical condition as everyone in baseball today.
 
So what's the social commentary in all this?  
 
Judge is being paid 10 million dollars to play a kids game for the Yankees this season.  Now, that's capitalism, so I don't fault him for getting all the market can bear, it's society that has gone off track.  I no longer watch any sports, even the Browns, which I'm shocked no one has declared them racists for calling themselves the Browns, since all things great and small are now racist,  but humanity has gone nuts over professional sports. 
 
Life should be about character to go along with accomplishment, and let's face it, professional sports are all kids games, not life and death.  Nothing any sports team or athlete does while playing will make the world a better place to live, temporarily more enjoyable maybe, but not better.  
 
However, it's now clear they're more than capable of making the world a worse place to live when they became worshipers at the Church of Wokeness, and they have, and for obscene amounts of money while disgracing themselves deriding the nation that nurtured them, and made them amazingly wealthy, for playing kids games.  
 
Imagine that!  

The character of so many of these sports and entertainment celebrities is sorely wanting.  I wonder if Bridgett Griner, who has had to learn Russian, feels America is so disgusting now?  I wonder how much of her five million dollar fortune will be left after her wife is done with it by the time she gets out of prison in nine years, and she's no longer capable of being a basketball star and has to earn a living like other people.  What skills does she have? Who will cater to her?  Who will care then? 
 
For that matter, what sane people care now?

The War On Women's Sports: Man Wins Women's Cycling Race

Men who identify as women often have a distinct physiological advantage over their fellow female opponents that cannot be denied

By M.D. Kittle February 11, 2021 

Sherry Mix puts in 10 to 15 hours a week training for elite-level mountain and fat-tire bike races in the region. The Verona, Wis. woman says it’s hard work but rewarding to the women who ride.

But as “equity” politics are further infused into just about every aspect of life, including competitive sports, cyclists like Mix are forced to compete on an unequal course. Last month, Mix finished third in a Snow Crown Fat Bike Series event in De Pere billed Fattyshack. The winner of the USA Cycling-sanctioned event was Kenzie Statz, a cyclist who was born male and now identifies as a transgender woman.

Statz beat the second-place finisher by about two minutes, and was about three minutes faster than Mix. But the transgender cyclist finished more than 10 minutes ahead of the next closest competitor.   Statz has been finishing in the money in a number of races. Before transitioning and competing in the women’s events, it appears Statz didn’t fare nearly as well in the men’s competitions............. To Read more

Destroying the Institutions We Inherited

Victor Davis Hanson Oct 15, 2020

In the 21st century, hallmark American and international institutions have lost much of their prestige and respect.

Politics and biases explain the lack of public confidence in organizations and institutions such as the World Health Organization, the Commission on Presidential Debates, the Nobel Peace Prize, the Pulitzer Prizes and the Academy Awards.

The overseers entrusted with preserving these institutions all caved to short-term political pressures. As a result, they have mostly destroyed what they inherited.

The World Health Organization's director-general, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, is the first person without a medical degree to hold that position. Why? No one really knows.

In the critical first days of the rapidly spreading COVID-19 pandemic, almost every statement issued by Tedros and the WHO about the origins, transmission, prevention and treatment of the virus was inaccurate. Worse, the announcements predictably reflected the propaganda of the Chinese government................

Recently, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which oversees the Oscars, announced that it will adopt racial, gender, and sexual identity quotas for nominees -- refuting the ancient idea of "art for art's sake"

Such ideology has also infected, and thus tarnished, the Grammy and Emmy awards, and left-wing virtue-signaling has also become part of the NFL and the NBA.

The lesson in all these debacles is that anywhere ideology trumps science, public service, history, art and entertainment, ruin surely follows.....To Read More......

Investigation finds doping cover-ups in weightlifting

By James Ellingworth

''We found systematic governance failures and corruption at the highest level of the IWF,'' McLaren said.  The International Olympic Committee said it was studying the report ''very carefully,'' adding that ''the content is deeply concerning.''  McLaren said former IWF president Tamas Ajan was ''an autocratic leader'' who kept the board in the dark about finances and left officials fearing reprisals if they spoke out. Ajan received cash payments on behalf of the IWF as doping fines from national federations or sponsors, the report said, but what happened to some of the money is unclear............To Read More.....
