When first I read of five female West Virginia 8th-graders
who had been banned
from participating in their next track meet because they refused to
compete against a biological male, I was angry. But I assumed it was a competition
involving running, either short or long distances. I was going to illustrate
absurdity by being even more absurd and compare it to a similar situation
involving the shot put.
And then I discovered it was the shotput event that they
were boycotting after a circuit court exempted the boy (who claims to be a
girl) from a state law that prevents males from competing on female sports’
teams.
So I have to try harder to be absurd. What’s
next, grade-school girls who refuse to compete against college men in the
hammer-throw being banned from competition?
The girls have been banned from
participating in a girls’ track meet so as not to offend the boy who is being
allowed to participate in the girls’ track meet? WTF?! I mean what the
effing eff?!!
That perfectly sums up the lunacy and
lies that pervade our ailing culture today.
