An op-ed in the Washington Post has argued that men in women’s sports could actually be a good thing for young girls by teaching them the art of losing gracefully.
According to Alyssa Rosenberg, the aim of school athletics is not to teach children the art of achieving excellence but rather to build character, and what better way to build character in a teenage girl than having her experience the frustration of losing that championship title to a biological male? Her argument largely hinges on the unicorn of “sports-crazed parents” who will theoretically use transgender athletes in women’s sports as an excuse in the event their daughter loses.

The left stating that men competing against women is fair is a lie.

The only lesson they will learn is that their opportunity to excel in sports is being denied in favor of guys who lack the talent and drive to excel on the boy's and men's teams.

Feminists have completely de-legitimized themselves by NOT standing up and speaking in defense of women athletes. Trans athletes can teach women to be “graceful” losers? That’s appalling! Hypocrites—all of them.

Women and girls have fought for more than half a century for their right to compete fairly. And now they just throw it all away? Feminism has made a big mistake allying itself with perversion. To go from voting to equal pay to being hog-tied to the ass-end of perverts is stupefying.

Show proof of castration for the world to see and then maybe, MAYBE it'll be okay to compete. Just tucking your junk between your legs like Barack's "wife" does isn't enough.

I guess taking candy from a baby helps the baby build character.
And having bidet as president gets you ready for soaring energy cost followed by a highly diminished supply of energy. Your character will improve- or the character building will continue.

There will come a time when a boy's high school JV basketball team will all self-identify as girls and then subsequently win the state basketball championship for girls...it's coming...only really stupid or sinister people believe this is good for women

So let's see if I have this right: The Left want girls to "lose gracefully" after being cheated out of their wins, while at the same time the Loser Left complains bitterly about every tiny micro aggression or insult directed their way? Have they no sense of hypocrisy?

Well, if the goal of introducing genetic men into women's competitions is to teach women to lose gracefully, why can't we apply that same theory to men by introducing, say, greyhound dogs into men's running events, or gorillas into MMA fighting, or gazelles into high-jumping or robot players into tennis, or, well, you get the idea.

Alyssa should be totally cool with keeping biological males out of women's sports, because it'll be good for the gender-madness victims to be segregated for teaching them to respect the actual differences between people, instead of being coddled at every turn for their self-absorbed mental illness.
And it will be good for those gender-madness victims to be DENIED their pet pronouns, for learning to respect every human beings God-given right to free speech.
(Alyssa's own reasoning applies in both directions of the ideological divide, justifying the opposite of her assertion. Since her premise supports letting men in AND not letting men in, it justifies ANY DAMNED THING you want to say. Our logic studies called that inferential fallacy Garbage In Garbage Out. (A -> B) and (A -> not B), proving (not A).

Think of the possibilities, the Seattle Seahawks could play the state's top high school team to teach them humility, lots of things like that. But, hey, we know when we are being played.

Oops, sorry. Memory has faded since college.
If you can say (A -> B) and (A -> not B) it doesn't disprove A, but it proves True (i.e. anything you want to say)
It's basically the inferential expression of gaslighting, where you get people used to hearing you declare both something and its opposite to be true, and they'll accept hearing you say anything you want)

All contestants in any athletic event should be tested to see if they're biological males or females. That goes for what is normally a men's only event also, that way there can be no cries of discrimination. They used to test all athletes (maybe only the women) at Olympic events so this is not something unusual. All they do is take a small scrapping of the inner cheek to determine a person's sex. If I remember correctly, (I am old) the only female not required to have such a test was Princess Anne when she competed in the 1976 Olympics.

The "girls" have so far played within the rules, whether anyone likes that or not. The problem is the ladies, as in the case of LPGA, have long been tolerant, demanding their "rights" and subsuming the rights of LGBT+++. They demand EQUALITY. And here is equality in the doorway...and those same advocates suddenly want sexual segregation again...BIOLOGICAL sex only. Their cow is being gored. No sympathy here. None.
Males, particularly white, straight males suffer from sexual discrimination daily in virtually any area you'd like to name. Call it whatever, but women and minorities are the beneficiaries of everything from school admissions to special programs to preferred hiring and promotion. That's not a problem bigger than who gets a shiny medal or tens of thousands in a professional golf or tennis tournament that bans men. What's not fair?

Cue the tiny violin chorus, girls. This is what you wanted, isn't it? Equality with men? I thought "Grrrlpower" was the thing, or was I under some misapprehension? You want to be on the same "playing field" when it comes to the corporate boardroom, how about you actually "play" on the same "field" as the men you so long wanted to displace and supplant everywhere else? Cry me a big, juicy river, you hypocrites. Reap what you have sewn.

It's one thing for women athletes to lose gracefully - competition yields many more losers than winners every time.
The lesson here is to shut up when the game is rigged.

Who told Ms. Rosenberg that female athletes need to be schooled by biological males in the art of "losing gracefully?" In legitimate competitions, female competitors win by being the best FEMALE in a competition.
Biological males who can only "win" athletic competitions against female competitors are no position to model appropriate social behavior for anyone, man, woman, or child. Voyeurism and flashing are crimes that get biological males arrested all the time. Those behaviors are called sex offenses, and the men who engage in them are called sex offenders. This has to be one of the lamest efforts ever, to normalize abnormal behavior.

Internalized misogyny. They hate biological women so much, they deliberately try to do as much harm as they can.
It is not a far trip back to barefoot and pregnant. True women better start loudly calling this out.

what a bunch of illogical and defamatory tripe this is and to think that someone actually had to sit down and write this stuff is beyond incomprehensible but considering it was published in the WaPo doesn't surprise any of us, I'm sure
it is the furthering of the divide among men and women to mask the differences so that there will no longer be a "Gender" category and we ill all become its
further reminds me of the movie "Judge Dredd" with Sylvester Stallone, Wesley Snipes and Sandra Bullock in the future when all genders are negated and, well, if you saw the movie you know but if you haven't seen the movie it is a good one to watch especially for the application of what's going on today

So men beating women is a good thing for the women and they should learn to accept it gracefully? If they were married it would be spouse abuse.

Losing the 2020 Presidential Election should have taught Brandon Poopy Pants how to lose gracefully.
Instead, he cheated and stole the White House.
And he’s still a LIFELONG LOSER.

Losing to a MAN who is mentally deranged and pretending to be a woman has NO grace in it.
It is cheating. Pure cheating. Wrong.

I thought the Dems had told us athletes were supposed to be only getting participation trophies. This idea of biological males vs females is an example of the old adage "Let the beatings continue until the moral improves".
