The NCAA throws out a whole bunch of Woke buzzwords, and, really, hasn’t changed their policy of allowing men to compete against women, taking away wins, accolade, opportunity, and scholarships
NCAA changes transgender athlete participation policy amid calls for reevaluation
The NCAA changed its policy regarding transgender athletes, it announced Wednesday.
The new approach to allowing transgender athletes will follow a sport-by-sport model similarly adopted by the U.S. and international Olympic committees, Sports Illustrated reported.
“We are steadfast in our support of transgender student-athletes and the fostering of fairness across college sports,” John DeGioia, Georgetown University’s president and the NCAA board’s chairman, said in a statement Wednesday, announcing the change.
The new policy is effective immediately.
The Board of Governors voted to pass the new policy as it “preserves opportunity for transgender student-athletes while balancing fairness, inclusion and safety for all who compete,” according to the report.
“It is important that NCAA member schools, conferences and college athletes compete in an inclusive, fair, safe and respectful environment and can move forward with a clear understanding of the new policy,” DeGioia added.
You know what’s fair? Not have men compete against women in women’s sports. How is it safe to have biological males in the showers, locker rooms, and changing rooms of biological women? Inclusion? These gender confused men are taking away opportunities from actual women.
Each particular sport’s national governing body will be responsible for determining transgender athlete participation. If a sport does not have a national governing body, the international federation policy will be enacted, Sports Illustrated reported. (snip)
The NCAA’s rules came into the national spotlight due to the emergence of Penn’s Lia Thomas. She started breaking Ivy League records with national records in the crosshairs. She was on the men’s team for her first three years but started on the Quakers’ women’s team this season after transitioning.
You know that almost none, and probably none, will change their policy. It might, might, have made more sense to do it on a case by case basis. It might make more sense if some guy who’s like 5’4″ and is gender confused is allowed to compete on the women’s team, not a big, tall guy who can blow the women away. But, really, if you want women’s sports, you don’t have men competing against them. If the men want to be women, let them go through full transition prior. Wack the dangling bits off. Grow breasts or get implants. A bit of makeup, new hairstyle, and women’s clothes isn’t even close.

In the WNBA, which was formed in 1997, only seven players have managed to dunk the basketball, a total of 28 times, 23 of them by 6’8″ Brittney Griner of the Phoenix Mercury. Muggsey Bogues, at 5’3″, supposedly dunked once in warmups, but never did so in a game. 5’7″ Spud Webb won the 1986 NBA Slam Dunk contest.
There are plenty of very athletic guys who are vertically challenged, and who can do things virtually no women are able to do.
Males and females have significantly different hip structures; as females have to be able to allow a baby to pass through the birth canal. Simply put, the female hip structure is not as well suited to high-level athletics. Musculature is different between males and females as well.
Will Thomas, is a
manmale who claims he’s a chick named ‘Lia.’ In the Zippy Invitational Event in Akron, Ohio, the one which attracted the greatest attention due to the staggering difference in times, Mr Thomas won the 500-yard freestyle event in 4:34.06 to 4:48.99 for second-place finisher Anna Kalandaze, a 14.93 second margin. Mr Thomas’ time would have finished 15th in the men’s final, ahead of ten other male swimmers. The last place male swimmer in the 500-yard freestyle, Luke Scoboria of Bloomsburg University, finished at 4:42.78, 7.21 seconds ahead of Miss Kalandaze’s second-place time.
