I don't understand what satisfaction there is for a grown Man to beat a young Girl in a sporting event. It does not register with me.
I really could care less if a Man wants to call himself a Woman or a dog or whatever, HOWEVER all States in the US must ban Men from competing with Woman in ALL sporting events.
Why are you so outraged about this? Why aren’t you focusing on the fact that the girl who got second wasn’t outraged at all. Her response is what is important here. Pure class.
'I'm not upset at all like at all. If anything, I'm really worried about how Ricci must be feeling. I really admire her courage. I can't imagine how awful this must feel to see all this hate from all these people.“
What you call "pure class" others see as a prime example of what's called "female socialization" at work.
Girls are taught from earliest childhood to be very attuned to other people's feelings, and to care more about other people's feelings than their own; to be comforting, conciliatory and agreeable even when being treated unfairly; to cater especially to the feelings, wants and demands of boys and men; to take care never to behave in ways that might be regarded as "selfish"; to try very hard never to cause other people distress or hurt; to make sure never to do or say things that might dent the self-image of anyone with a "fragile male ego;" to feel sorry for the downtrodden and disadvantaged; and to be total suckers for the song and dance acts and BS of males, especially those who portray themselves as victims and claim they are "the most vulnerable and oppressed" members of society ever.
Also, girls are socialized to really, really want to be liked by other people. Tween and teenage girls and young women are very aware of how they are viewed and gossiped about by others, and especially in the social media era they are very careful about curating their own public images. They will go to great lengths to come across as as nice, kind, caring and compassionate people who hold all the opinions currently considered "correct" and who engage in all the social practices and customs that are currently fashionable and signs of being a "good person." In other words, virtue-signaling is one of their fortes and preoccupations.
It's because girls and women have been socialized this way that so many today serve as loud and proud cheerleaders for male interlopers in women's and girls sports like Ricci Tres and Lia Thomas.
Some of us looking at Ricci Tres who have read the press reports about, and interviews with, Tres see a strapping, robustly healthy and fit military veteran and former US Navy machinist now pushing 30 who after fathering three children with his wife decided to "become a woman" as a way of trying to overcome the shame Tres told the Daily Mail he felt for years about being a male who engages in cross-dressing - a practice quite a few heterosexual men engage in for their own erotic pleasure. But when the 13 year-old girl whom Tres beat out for first place in a skateboarding tourney looks at Tres, she probably sees what she has been told to see: a member of the group of male people the MSM and social media constantly describe as "the most vulnerable, marginalized, discriminated against victimized members of society" - and thus someone she personally is duty-bound to feel sorry for, and she believes all of society must cater to and coddle.
she isn’t duty bound to feel sorry for anyone. Other athletes in the competition spoke out against Tres. Just because she didn’t attack someone in the press and was gracious in defeat we are to assume that she is a victim of female socialization? Indeed, it would be insane to think she is a decent human, rather her actions can only lead to a single conclusion: she has been conditioned to want to be liked and is only capable of virtue signaling. Well capable of skateboarding too but skateboarding and virtue signaling.
I'm not a skateboarder, but I would expect gender would play as much a roll in the sport as it would for competitive pinball. Name me more than one sport where a 13yr old is expected to be better than the someone in the late 20's. Gymnastics. That is about it.
This is awesome. The only cure for far left liberalism is far left liberalism. The sooner the centrist Democrats split from and ostracize the far left loonies the better off we’ll all be.
That you people are actually debating this is as wrong as the organizers letting it happen. When South Park episodes start coming true you know we're in trouble.

Denying the biological differences between men and women not only threaten women's rights, it threatens our safety. Not only are we shutting women out of competitive sports, we are also shaming girls into silence in the face of abuse and harassment. pic.twitter.com/DYx7NoOi0d

Oh, so we're just supposed to look to the brainwashed 13 year old for the "correct" response we should have? You clowns are completely delusional

That’s actually proof that sex matters: in sports that involve flipping/twisting against gravity, girls who have not gone through female puberty have an advantage because they have lighter, more aerodynamic bodies with less body fat, no boobs/hips, etc. While men gain strength with male puberty and improve, women in gymnastics/diving/skateboarding/etc are often at a disadvantage compared to tiny girls showing exactly how sex-specific puberty matters in sports.
