I have three daughters, and seven granddaughters. Although none have been superstars in various sports, they have all played sports while growing up. At this point none have been forced to compete against men or boys, and rightfully so.
Men can pretend to be women and women can pretend to be men … no me importa! As far as I am concerned anyone can pretend to be whichever gender they choose, but do not drag me into this fantasy world.
At this point an XY can pretend to be an XX and compete in a women’s sport. He might come in first, and stand on the podium, but in reality all rational XYs and all XXs know that he is non campos mentis to some degree. He might have finished ahead of the genetic XXs, but he is not an XX.
When will this insanity end?
Finally, a competitive organization has stepped forward, and stated what we all know, namely that XYs and XXs should not be competing against each other in competitive sports.
The Belgian Waffle Ride (BWR) is a cycling competition that describes itself as being “created in homage to the great one-day classics of Europe with their cobblestone sectors … long, hard, multi-terrain races that test the best of the best.”
Often hosting events across North America, the organization held a race in Hendersonville, North Carolina, on June 10, 2023. However, the “BWR N. Carolina” saw a man win the “Women Overall” category. A man named Austin Killips took first place in the women’s competition with a finishing time of 8h 28m 07.47s. Comparatively, had Killips competed against men, he would have finished in 22nd place with the same time.
In other words, an XY was declared the winner of an XX race. However the BWR subsequently made some changes to insure that an XY would not win an XX BWR race in the future.
On July 9, 2023, BWR announced on Instagram that it would be moving forward with a third category, open to anyone. The classifications were listed as follows:
- “Female: In the interest of protecting the parity of sports between women and men, racers who were born female may compete in the classification.
- Male: Racers who were born and/or identify as male may compete in this classification.
- Open: All racers, regardless of gender identification, may compete in this classification.”
Finally, sanity!
Can we learn anything from BWR?
