Feminism And Transgenderism Cannot Long Coexist

As I said when a transgender boy won the Alaskan track championship, feminism and transgenderism cannot long coexist. Necessarily, transgenderism infringes upon women's rights. 

If a man, who may not be able to succeed in men's sports, can play women's sports by merely proclaiming himself a woman - even though he is almost always stronger than most, if not all, of his female competitors, isn't this a form of patriarchy? Did women fight for equality under the law only to cede the literal playing field to men? Do not women have the right to have their own sports? How often will women ever beat trans-women in WOMEN'S sports?

Then last month, 'in what might be the most controversial high school wrestling victory ever, a girl transgendering to a boy completed an undefeated season Saturday by winning a Texas state girls’ wrestling title. Mack Beggs, 17, was born female but has been undergoing a testosterone treatment for more than a year and currently has the muscle mass of a similarly-aged male, The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported. Though Beggs, a junior at Euless Trinity High School, would prefer wrestling boys, state policy dictates that athletes must compete as the gender listed on their birth certificate. The result: A 56-0 season and 110-pound weight class title.

Beggs still has all of the standard parts found in a typical female form. The only difference is that his physicians have prescribed him massive dosages of testosterone for over a year resulting in increased muscle mass and strength not usually associated with female athletes. 'Transgenderism' makes doping legal. We used to disqualify East German women for doing the exact same thing.

I understand that many transgenders believe they are 'women trapped in men's bodies'. I feel for them. I really do. BUT, that doesn't mean that they should be granted some right to compete against biological women. Most transgenders are males indentifying as women so this affects women's sports far more than men's sports. Yet, if we allow transwomen to compete in women's sports, then we will, essentially, be eliminating biologically-gender-specific sports altogether and replacing them. No longer will it be men's sports and women's sports; instead, there will be men's sports and men's-lite sports.

I just cannot believe that women fought past battles for women's equality only to willingly cede their hard-fought gains back to 'The Patriarchy'.

Not everyone is meekly getting with the programme...

Of course, some refuse to recognise that this is a difficult issue that presents various potential problems. If you disagree, you are either problematic or intolerant...
