https://www.newsmax.com/newsfr...25/04/04/id/1205755/ I was a fencer in college in the 60’s and a little later as recreation. ‘USA Fencing’is out of their fucking mind allowing male trans to fence genetic females! Like ANY OTHER strength sport, women are at a genetic disadvantage. I thought President Trump’s order had stopped this crap. The only way to stop the discrimination is by financial sanctions.

The only way to really stop it is for ALL female athletes to refuse to compete in those situations . The process will take some time to reverse itself though . | |||

So a women’s organization punished a woman for refusing to compete against a man. You’re a lying dog-faced pony soldier | |||

Fine the dickens out of the school. And sanction them as well. | |||

Good for her for speaking out about this. Watch and see, they will try and ban her from future events in retaliation for not playing along with their wokeness. I hope she gets a lot of public support. “We truly live in a wondrous age of stupid.” - 83v45magna "I think it's important that people understand free speech doesn't mean free from consequences societally or politically or culturally." -Pranjit Kalita, founder and CIO of Birkoa Capital Management | |||

I agree. More women are going to have to do the same and refuse to compete against men. "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

Yes, in fencing, like many other sports and activities, the advantage goes to the stronger participant, and in the case of fencing, height can also be an asset. Not sheer brute strength, but explosive, quick power, competitive fencers, like many other sports, hit the gym and train for strength and speed. Height gives extra reach with the arms and legs.

Typically there will be one Tran-freak involved on a team. Ever see a pack of pissed-off women descend on a hapless target - that should be the outcome in each of these events. Let them pummel the freak to never show themselves again................. "No matter where you go - there you are" | |||

A couple of issues with the story and responses: 1. The "group" USA Fencing", is not a college athletic league. So the "Trump banned..." comments are not applicable. That the girl may have been in college is irrelevant. 2. The rule the girl broke was "failure to complete", not failure to compete against a trans opponent. Per the charter, participants may not decline a match. Had she performed the match and just stood there, instead of actually fencing, may have lead to a different outcome. Lie it or not, sports is an arbitrary collection of rules, and if you break the rule, you suffer the consequences. (Slight thread drift - you have to interpret supreme court rulings the same way. Often times, the issue is procedural, and not the conduct itself.) The root issue is allowing trans athletes to compete at all, which I agree is wrong. Had she competed and lost, I doubt she would have received the publicity she did, so I applaud her for not competing and furthering her cause. PS - I laughed a the "foil" comments! Thus the metric system did not really catch on in the States, unless you count the increasing popularity of the nine-millimeter bullet. - Dave Barry "Never go through life saying 'I should have'..." - quote from the 9/11 Boatlift Story (thanks, sdy for posting it) | |||

Unfortunately it’s a private enterprise. Her best options are to change the minds of the governing body, or find another club that will not tolerate this bullshit. Either way what a pain in the ass situation for that young athlete. Good for her and hopefully more women will follow her lead. Brave young lady right there. | |||

Every single competitor must force him to play with himself. Every competitor ends the season with a loss against an opponent who fought no one. ----------The weather is here I wish you were beautiful---------- | |||
