Earlier this week, the hashtag #BidenErasedWomen was trending on Twitter for a while. Given all of the endless media buzz about President Biden’s “historic” cabinet and VP picks advancing the careers of a number of women, that might have caught quite a few people by surprise. But the flurry of online activity was being caused by one of the mountains of executive orders that Uncle Joe has been signing. The order in question rolled back yet another of Donald Trump’s mandates in the field of education, reinstating a disastrous policy put in place by Barack Obama back when Biden was playing second fiddle for him. Signed only hours after Biden was sworn in, the order mandates that all schools receiving federal funding (which is nearly all of them) must allow boys who “identify” as girls to compete in girls’ sports and use all of their facilities, including locker rooms and showers. As we’ve seen in previous instances, this is going to wind up “erasing” (or canceling) the college aspirations of some actual female high school athletes. (Washington Times)
President Biden opened a Pandora’s box with his executive order on gender identity and sexual orientation, pushing the hotly contested issue of transgender participation in women’s athletics from the sidelines to the spotlight.
The hashtag #BidenErasedWomen trended Thursday as advocates on both sides of the issue wrestled with the social, political and religious implications of the order signed Wednesday by Mr. Biden “preventing and combating discrimination on the basis of gender identity or sexual orientation.”
“Children should be able to learn without worrying about whether they will be denied access to the restroom, the locker room, or school sports,” the order said.
As the linked article notes, one LGBT advocate is quoted responding to the criticism by saying, “there was ‘zero evidence — not a shred — that protecting trans women against discrimination harms cis women.” All of the woke terminology crammed into a couple of sentences may be confusing, but the reality is that the advocate in question is either lying or ignorant because that statement is patently false.
As we’ve discussed here previously, there have been plenty of studies, not to mention real-world examples, proving that the opposite is true. A study published in the Journal of Sports Medicine last year showed that even when male athletes are subjected to hormone therapy for up to three years to help them “transition” into being females, they still retained a distinct physical advantage in athletic competitions of nearly all sorts. And it wasn’t a small advantage, either. Across the board, the biological males performed well enough to make the difference, particularly when performing at the Olympic level.
A previous study by physiologists produced similar results.. The study concluded that “male athletes who identify as transgender women have an intolerable advantage over their female competitors.” These advantages were observed in both muscle mass and physical power even after prolonged treatments intended to reduce their testosterone levels.
Stepping away from academic studies and into the real world of sports, we’ve already seen how this story ends. In Connecticut, there are still lawsuits ongoing over two boys who weren’t terribly successful in track and field events until they went on to win state championships in the girls’ division after declaring that they “identified” as female. Several actual girls were bumped out of their chance to compete at the state level and lost opportunities for sports scholarships.
Biden and Obama nothing has Changed under t he democrats its still the same as always and the lesson is to never vote Democrat and to remove all those fixed voting machines Made in China
So, when some steroids-jacked he?she? beats out every REAL female in a sport and advances to a Olympic team… what then? Will the Olympics change to accept actual biological males competing against real women or will the US simply have to cede a medal?
If all men have to do is add a few hormones to their mix a few days before the competition internationally, expect the Russians to sweep all medals in all women’s sports.
They were trying to pull this way back when they were the USSR.
And East Germany was right behind them.
On a non-sports note:
At what point will Barack and Michael Obama finally come out of the closet is my question.
That is obviously a man.
He even admitted to not being their children’s natural mother, of course.
Mainstreaming trannies should mean the Obama’s can come clean.
what did America expect. the ex pres. terrorist obama is gay. his two gay lovers in chi., were killed several months before he ran for the senate. the kids are not his but his wife’s lover from her law firm in chi.
in the future, all girl sports in HS and collage will be cx’ed. oh! maybe the gay, big mouth, Trump hater on the US Olympic woman’s soccer star, would go head to head against Spain or Brazil all male team?
America knows that joey is a pedophile, ?? bi???
