However, as this excerpt is republished around the world as a tribute to a wonderful female pioneer, the very existence of women is threatened in a way that is both absurd and shameful. 6 Pierce topple ‘traumatically unfair’ new inequality that could ruin women’s sport 6 JK Rowling Becomes ‘Poster Girl for Alleged Trans-Bashing’ Credit: Getty 6 American swimmer Lia Thomas has previously competed unsuccessfully on her university’s men’s team Credit: AFP In sports, a US trans swimmer named Lia Thomas became the first trans athlete to win a famous NCAA college championship race, destroying a field of women born with a physically inferior female biological body. Thomas had previously competed unsuccessfully for three years on the college men’s team – University of Pennsylvania. But now she is competing as a woman, she is on her way to becoming a superstar worldwide. This is obviously grotesque unfair and has created a new shocking inequality that could destroy women’s sport, but anyone who dares to say so is immediately labeled “transphobic” in a cynical campaign to suppress any legitimate criticism. In a stunning poolside scene as Thomas came to victory, a British woman named Kelly-Jay Keen from the Standing For Women activist group clashed with a male spectator after asking (about Thomas): “His body is the same as the others. girls in the pool? ‘ When the man replied, “Every body is different,” Keen replied, “No. Do you say it has no male organs? I’m a woman – not a woman. Do you have ovaries? I’m a woman, and she is not a woman.” The man replied: “Let me ask you, are you a biologist?”. To which Keen replied: “My God – do not be ridiculous. I am not a veterinarian, but I know what a dog is.” The clip, which quickly went viral, goes to the heart of this inflammatory discussion. I do not agree with Keen’s insistence on calling Lia Thomas “him”, because I respect the right of a trans person to be called by his own preference. I also unequivocally support the rights of trans people to equality and justice. But let’s be very clear: Lia Thomas only wins big games because she has a huge biological advantage over her opponents. And it is outrageous. As is the proposition that only a biologist knows what a woman is. This ridiculous idea resurfaced during a United States Supreme Court nominee hearing this week when the candidate, Judge Kentanji Brown Jackson, was asked a simple question by a female senator: “Can you give a definition for the word “woman”; Jackson looked like a frightened confused rabbit in the spotlight, before finally answering: “No, I can not. “I’m not a biologist.” So here was one who was to become one of the most powerful women in the world, who was specially nominated by President Joe Biden because she is a black woman and therefore would become the first black woman in the Supreme Court, showing a shocking incompetence yet and here’s what it’s like to be a woman. It’s really not that hard to answer a question. The definition of woman is “an adult female”. This is.
“THE BASIC ELEMENTS OF BIOLOGY ARE UNWORTHY”
You can have all the gender identities you like, no matter how absurd many of them are, but what you can not do is deny the reality of biological sex. As Prime Minister Boris Johnson, a global body for women’s bodies, told parliament this week: “We must recognize that when people want to make a transition in their lives, they must be treated with the utmost generosity and respect. I would also like to say that I think that when it comes to distinguishing between a man and a woman, the basic elements of biology remain overwhelmingly important. “ I agree with him that trans people deserve our compassion and understanding. No one would go through the long physical and emotional ordeal of transition if they did not sincerely believe that they were trapped in the wrong body. But I agree with him that the basics of biology are unquestionable. There is a decisive campaign under way to eliminate the word “woman” from public discourse, lest the trans lobby be offended. Forbes, the famous business magazine, published yesterday on Twitter an article by a woman health writer to her 17 million followers that began: “Pregnant women infected with Covid-19 were more than twice as likely to have significant complications as those who did not have it. virus. in the first year of the pandemic, according to a new study. The last time I checked – and judging by the outrageous response this tweet caused, I’m not alone in this belief – pregnant women are called women. Men can not have babies. So I can not get pregnant as much as I would like, given the global popularity it brings to anyone. Pretending that anyone can, therefore, is not just nonsense signaling the virtue designed to appease the invincible awakened brigade, it is also a proven lie. But if you dare to defend women’s rights to be called women or simply mention biological facts about sex, then prepare to be ashamed, insulted and abused by the intolerant mob of culture. They will also try to ruin your career and life while disguising themselves under the funny hashtag nickname #BeKind. The worst victim of this was Harry Potter author JK Rowling, who had the unfortunate honor of being controlled by Vladimir Putin this week as he tried to equalize what he went through with sanctions against Russia for invading Ukraine. “Joan Rowling was recently canceled,” the dictator said in a televised speech. “Now they are trying to cancel. I am talking about the progressive discrimination that has to do with Russia.” Of course, none of these statements are true. Russia is accountable for its leader’s disgusting belligerence, and JK Rowling remains resolutely canceled despite a concerted effort to cancel it. But the way she was treated was a complete disgrace. Rowling became the poster girl for the alleged trans-bashing several years ago when she tweeted her support for Maya Forstater, an Englishwoman who lost her job at the think tank Center for Global Development after posting tweets challenging the government’s plans. later canceled- to allow people to state their gender.
‘DISGUSTING PROVISION’
Forsterter argued that “sex is immutable and should not be confused with gender identity” and Rowling agreed, writing on Twitter: “Dress the way you want. Call yourself the way you want. Sleep with any adult who agrees to have you. “Live your best life in peace and security. But do you force women to quit their jobs because they said sex was real?” This plausibility – an appellate court later agreed with Forstatter’s right to believe and say this – caused a storm of outrage, but to her credit, Rowling refused to back down. In June 2020, she criticized Twitter for the phrase “menstruating people” and said: “If sex is not real, the lived reality of women worldwide is erased. I know and love trans people, but the erasure of the concept of sex deprives many of the ability to discuss their lives meaningfully ”. He was right again with respect. But the gay activist group GLAAD called her views “harsh” and “anti-trans”, which led Rowling to be described as a radical feminist trans-exclusionist (TERF) and to be bombarded with hatred and death threats. He responded by writing a lengthy, highly thought-provoking article in which he revealed that he had survived domestic abuse and sexual assault, saying, “When you open the doors of bathrooms and locker rooms to anyone who believes or feels that they are women; men who want to get in “, while you also state that most trans people were vulnerable and deserved protection. Her concerns are valid. There have been alarming cases of male sex offenders being identified as women to be transferred to women’s prisons where some have subsequently assaulted women. Just this week, the BBC reported on a horrific murder case in America, saying an “83-year-old woman” had killed and beheaded another woman. It was especially remarkable because no one could remember a similar case involving a female monster. But in reality, she was a man who was identified as a man in the original court records, but “is now identified as a trans woman.” Will he now be able to be housed in a women’s prison? What a sick, horrible joke. However, to express her concern about the obvious dangers of unlimited self-identity, JK Rowling was subjected to more repulsive harassment. I have no reason to speak in her favor. We had a long feud, sparked by my disgusted friendship with Donald Trump, during which he called me an “unrealistic, immoral, fanatical celebrity who apologizes” and once wrote on Twitter: “Yes, watching “To say I’m off on live TV is just as satisfying as I’m ever imagined.” But ironically, it is her commitment to basic biology that forces me to defend her now. JK Rowling has done nothing wrong but bravely stick her head over the parapet of an increasingly toxic debate to defend other women – just as Madeleine Albright urged women to do. To do so, she has been met with disgust by many women who do not have the clarity of her vision for the very serious issues involved and her steely determination to fight for women’s rights in the face of a relentless awakening war to eradicate them. altar of political correctness. I’m not a woman – but I know this is a special …
