UN study reveals female athletes lost almost 900 medals to transgender rivals
Biological males will always have performance advantages over females
A report to the United Nations reveals that 600 female athletes have lost almost 900 medals across 29 sports to transgender rivals. The study, “Violence against women and girls in sports,” as reported by Toronto Sun writer Dan Bilicki, was presented by Reem Alsalem, the UN special rapporteur on violence against women and girls. In the report, Alsalem noted that biological men have various physical advantages over women and artificially reducing their testosterone levels does not change that.
Alsalem stated that male athletes had specific attributes, including higher strength and testosterone levels, that are advantageous in certain sports and can result in the “loss of fair opportunity” for female competitors.
She also argued that treatments to artificially suppress testosterone will not put transgender competitors on equal footing with females and may only harm the athlete taking the treatment.
. . . pharmaceutical testosterone suppression for genetically male athletes — irrespective of how they identify — will not eliminate the set of comparative performance advantages they have already acquired,” she wrote.
In her report, Alsalem urged the UN to provide “stronger protections for women and girls in sports” and believes that an additional open category should be created for sports and that “non-invasive, confidential and simple sex screenings” are necessary to guarantee fairness for women.”
Medals stolen from women
JK Rowling, who picked up on the study from the Daily Mail, was shocked and tweeted about it, as Breitbart writer Warner Todd Huston reported.
Over 890 medals, across 29 sports, stolen from women by men.
Huston shared her reply to a reader who felt badly for the women who lost out.
We’re not supposed to feel empathy for those women and girls. The only people we should coddle are the mediocre men who decided they’d enjoy medals without the hassle of competing in the correct category.
Outright cheating, girls and women suffer
John Boyne, replying to Rowling's tweet, called out what should be obvious to everyone — that men competing in women's sports are cheating.
I'm no sportsman - although I play a mean game of squash - but I genuinely don't understand how anyone can compete in sporting events and then feel proud for accepting a medal when they've - and there's no other word for it - cheated.
Boyne isn't the only one who says that men pretending to be women and winning titles that should belong to women is cheating. The Women’s Sports Policy Working Group cited HeCheated.org’s tally of “5,149 males in women’s sports” and included the harm this has caused to women, noting that girls lost 235 opportunities and awards to just two boys between 2017 and 2020 as they competed on a track team, as shown in the below image it created.
Two women who have left their sports after being negatively impacted by having to compete against men posing as women were quoted by Women’s Sports Policy:
“I’ve left cycling. Losing to a trans rider hurts on a million different levels.”
— Hannah Arensman, 24, US cycling champion
“Transgender competitors are ruining our sport.”
— Heather, 66, who quit a ladies [sic] shore angling team over trans participation
Another woman, quoted by Women's Sports Policy, had placed second to a trans competitor and complained about the unfairness and the financial loss she suffered.
"At the last contest series I did for Red Bull, I placed second. The trans competitor who won took $1000 dollars in qualifiers, $3000 in finals, and $1,000 in best trick. This totaled $5000 of the prize money meant for female athletes.
I am sick of being bullied into silence.”
— Skateboarder Taylor Silverman
Gaslighting
He Cheated wrote about the inequity and gaslighting faced by girls and women due to boys and men who are pushing biological females out of sports and marginalizing them for personal gain in its front-page story.
His female teammates are ignored, told to move aside to make room for him, to center him. He exceeds any performance he gave in the men's competition, winning medals, taking podium spots, breaking records, advancing to professional and national teams. Again, criticism is dismissed. "He's not winning every race" "He's not breaking every record" "His testosterone is lower than average. Not all athletes like him are succeeding." Women 20 years his junior with 10 more years of experience manage to beat him and others like him who are unathletic, untalented, and out of shape. This is, of course, evidence that all is fair and just.
Women are gaslit into saying there's nothing wrong. Women are coerced into compliance. Women are threatened with expulsions and punishment to remain silent. Any word said against him is labeled as “bigotry,” “hatred,” and even “violence.” He is allowed to claim victimhood no matter the situation.
Women's performances are ignored. His mere participation is given attention, featured in movies, the subject of documentaries. He is given female awards for bravery and courage, because he decided to wear lipstick while he ran, because he decided to grow his hair out, and because he decided to call himself a “woman” while he did it, because he decided there was no difference between himself and a real woman who possibly had to put her athletic career on hold to give birth to her children at the time he was still chasing girls, watching porn, and carrying on with his male teammates. He is viewed as a beacon of “social justice.”
"It has got to stop"
The Toronto Sun included the following video by political columnist Brian Lilley who called out NDP MLA (New Democratic Party Member of the Legislative Assembly) Brooks Arcand-Pal for referring to women as “folks with uteruses.” Arcand-Paul had given a speech in the Alberta legislature and wouldn’t refer to women as women.
He was talking about the issue of universal access to contraception and for some reason didn't want to use the term women kept using the term people are folks with uteruses. . . .
Now, this is becoming more common for, it’s either bureaucrats or government officials, often people associated with left-wing or progressive parties, dropping terms like women or menstruation [sic]. I don't know a single woman that wants to be referred to as a menstruator, and yet who menstruates? Women. The reason for this change in language of trying to erase terms like women from our language is supposedly out of respect for the trans community. Well, here, you can be respectful of the trans community without disrespecting women by erasing them from the language. Nobody's trying to erase men from the language . . .
Lilley concluded, "It has got to stop."
Male athlete understands biological realities
Trans golfer Nicole Powers agrees that trans women have an unfair advantage over biological females and has stopped competing against women, as reported by the Daily Mail, which uses 'they' as the personal pronoun for Powers.
A transgender golfer who chose to stop competing against biological females has opened up on their decision amid outrage from the LGBTQ+ community.
Nicole Powers competed in a number of different sports as a trans woman, including tennis and skiing as well as golf, before making the decision to never compete against females ever again.
'I had to take a step back and realize that biological realities are real and competitive advantages will always exist despite the number of years or whatever surgeries and hormones you've done, and then understood that my place is not in women's sports,' Powers said in an interview with Outkick.
