Democrats want women to lose gracefully to men in sports

When I first reported on the Lia Thomas saga two years ago, I never would have imagined that so many people would be brainwashed with toxic political ideologies to believe that men should be able to compete with women. It seemed like the plot of a bizarre sci-fi movie in which a left-wing dictator conquered society, implemented rogue policies, and forced everyone to comply. No way could anyone legitimately believe that all of a sudden, men could declare they were females and compete with women in athletic contests. But here we are in 2023, still living in the twilight zone.
This absurdity is being reinforced this week during the congressional hearing about transgender athletes in school sports. First, Rep. Summer Lee (D-PA) called former collegiate swimmer Riley Gaines “transphobic” because of Gaines’s efforts to bring awareness to a commonsense notion that men should not be competing against women in sports. Later, Fatima Goss Graves, president of the National Women’s Law Center, stated that female athletes should “learn to lose gracefully” to men in athletic competitions. All of it was indicative of the warped sense of reality that Democrats have created in this country when it comes to all things transgender.

“It’s disappointing to me that although the title of this hearing implies a much-needed discussion, we’re likely going to be forced to listen to transphobic bigotry,” Lee said. “Because actually protecting female athletes and Title IX is important. Participating in sports provides so many benefits to our young people.”
“And trans students participate in sports for the same reason as other kids, because it is fun, because it creates belonging and community, because it teaches so much about persistence and leadership and discipline,” Graves said. “Unless they learn to lose gracefully, hopefully, and often, they learn to win with dignity, hopefully. They learn to do the sort of work that means you have higher grades and stay connected to school. I want every kid to have that chance to play.”

However, Lee and Graves don’t have to worry about being affected by the disastrous consequences of their performative politics. Instead, they reap the benefits of the transgender lobby compromising their values while the common, ordinary, everyday female athlete suffers. They appeal to a radical mob of transgender apologists who have infiltrated the Democratic Party.
The men who identify as transgender women should compete in sports if they want to, but not against women. The comments by people such as Lee, Graves, and any Democrat arguing otherwise are not grounded in reality. They are works of fiction, regurgitated by a vile, ignoble, brainwashed tribe of left-wing ideologues. Men do not belong anywhere near women in the athletic arena except for cheering them from the crowd in the bleachers.
