Gaming the System

We have just passed the magical mark in American history.  A soccer team only recently won another World Cup title.  Yeah!

Real winner in contest with American sports

I remain sufficiently vague about the winning team details because of the antics proudly produced by its members. At least one captain knelt during the National Anthem, and afterward, this team refused to meet President Trump.  This is not the idea “national” representation a patriot would like to see.  But I digress.

This team was made up of lesbians and black and white “women.”  I felt the need to use the word “women” in quotes because no one seems to have the desire to check their hormone make-up either before or after the contest.

I also used the word lesbians because a team member specifically said lesbians were among those players, as were black and white women.  I left out the colored hair punctuation made during her lame speech.

Not a big deal, you say?

Under the Soviet Union, the old Russia, female athletes fielded by some of their satellite countries were more man than woman, from a hormonal perspective.

We know because they won much too often over other athletes, and therefore were tested for gender.

Unfortunately, most did not pass.  But the damage was already done.

So it was in the name of purity in the sports world that women should compete with women-like women.  And all was good.

Until American politicians felt they needed fix things.  And just as they always do, they couldn’t have messed it up more.

Guvment lawyers, most of whom are politicians, are not very good either; they are awful politicians, and likely the worst lawyers.  A good lawyer working in the private sector can make $500,000 per year, without trying.  Guvment lawyers start at $90,000.  You decide.

So it was those guvment types that created the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) to remedy this women problem.

It seems they felt there was rampant discrimination in schools against women, women’s sports programs, and pregnancy issues, only smart guvment-types could fix.

Since it was illegal to discriminate against anything – including stupid, dangerous behavior that could endanger an unborn baby – those who wanted to keep pregnant woman out of wrestling venues could be sued for discrimination.  Yeah!

Suddenly the balance of common sense was tilted toward ignorance, but some opportunistic individuals noticed and decided to exploit the system created by the guvment lawyer brain trust.

Fast forward to today.  Men are rapidly becoming transgendered and entering women’s sports as women.  Of course, they’re not either, but they usually have a hormonal advantage against the “fairer sex.”  This is taking a page from the Soviet playbook about which we complained some decades ago.

Competing against women-by-birth, men usually win.  This has been happening in many high schools in America where kids vie for scholarships in college to play sports.

The high school girls are now carping about boys out-performing them in track and field events, and are now crying “foul.”

And so they should.

But because we, as a nation, have crossed an imaginary line of identity politics, saying women are men and men are women, discrimination allegations are easy to levy.

So, who’s to blame?

Could it be the transgender community? Maybe the guvment lawyers?  How about media whore politicians?  Perhaps the smarmy kids who are learning to cheat the system?

Here’s a thought: get naked, look down, and then decide what sex you are.  Then you can play sports or use the appropriate bathroom the civilized way.

In any case, it’s time to say, “Stop it!” right now.
