This is in response to a piece published 3 June 2017 by Milo Yiannopoulos under the title Trans Girl” Makes No Effort To Transition, Sweeps Actual Girls Track Meets & Brags About It. I invite you to read it and form your own opinion before moving south to read mine.
If you’re blind, the profession of airline pilot is forever closed to you. You didn’t choose your condition, but you will need to live with the absolute limitations it’s going to place on the choices you can make for the rest of your life. That’s not unfair. It’s LIFE, and for each of us that means we must do the best we can with what we have.
Some will argue that gender identification is a choice, others that it comes about when someone is left with no choice, and neither argument matters in this sort of case. For sporting events where males compete exclusively against other males, and females against females, like mens’ and womens’ track, the rules have been established in the understanding that male and female bodies develop as they do, notwithstanding psychology, and that for sexually mature athletes at an equal level of skill but of opposite biological sex, these physical differences will predictably lead to higher performance by males vs. females.
If your gender identification places you outside the rules of your desired sport, I can sympathize, but at the same time can see no sound reason why anyone should support you in quest of flying blind.
Well said – succinct, concise and – for the sane – irrefutable logic. Not only does no one want a guy to whip it out in the girls’ locker room after a sporting event, but in other areas, most notable power lifting and other strength related events, girls who have trained hard, worked hard and put in long hours of pursuing excellence, are already shut down before they even start. It is all madness, and it helps no one.
