Icon13 This is wrong.

This is wrong and what baffles me is why those in charge don't see it as wrong.

Transgender woman CeCe Telfer, who was born and raised as Craig Telfer and competed on the Franklin Pierce University men’s track and field team during her first three years of college, won the women’s 400-meter hurdles national title at the 2019 NCAA Division II Outdoor Track & Field Championships. Telfer dominated the competition, winning in 57.53 as second place was way back in 59.21.

Prior to joining the women’s team this season, Telfer was a mediocre DII athlete who never came close to making it to nationals in the men’s category. In 2016 and 2017, Telfer ranked 200th and 390th, respectively, among DII men in the 400 hurdles. Now she’s the national champion in the event simply because she switched her gender.

The truly sad part of this is that there was a young woman who most likely trained very hard for a long time and who should have been the 400-meter hurdles 2019 NCAA Division II champion. She is not. That is incredably unfair.

The rules should be reviewed and changed.

Sign of the times.


Let boys compete with boys, girls with girls, medically proven biological deviants against their kind in a group of their own, and let compete everybody else who is just claiming he feels like this or that but without any medical and genetical evidence in a fourth group of their own. Different interest levels by the audience has to be accepted, the audience owes nothing to competitors in entertainment events.



If I have a hobby and like to show off with it, I can do so, but I have to leave it to the others whether or not they are interested. I have no claim for them being interested in my performance. And my market value raisdes and falls wioth audience interest. If the crowd is not intersted I have no claim to make that I nevertheless must get payments like a star in some other branch of business . My payments reflect my market value, my market value is what gets decided by audience interest.



Its hilarious what is being done and tried in these regards, in sports, but also beyond that. All this in the end is brutal egoism with a strong, ideological lobby.

A test of any radical orthodoxy is to follow it to it's logical conclusion. In this case the obvious harm that will be done to womens athletics, especially at the high school and collegiate level could be very distructive. Imagine being a young woman who dreams of a successful career as a top athlete, possibly even a shot at the olympics. Now you are competing against men who say they are women. Madness.

The problem in the American universities these days is any critisim of the trans gender ideology is going to incur the wrath of the 'woke' crowd. Fear and loathing. And the silence borne out of that fear.

In parts, the german Greens do that since the early 80s.

Thats the same Greens that today for the first time ever in a national poll in Germany on the Sunday question ("If there were general elections this weekend, how would you vote?") ranked number one political party - before the CDU on two.

(And SPD dwarved to a level so low that it is just one percent away from the AfD ).

I many German universities, if you do not follow gender-rules on new-speak, your papers and final exams will getb disqualified. Professors not following it, get mobbed, and fired. More and more local state offices, services and admistrations chnage to gender new-speak, delete "mothers" and "fathers" from the vocabulary, and refuse to mention '"husbands" and "wifes". In parts it already is so far criminalised to still use these terms that under certain - although still highly specific, rare circumstances - you can get sued if using these terms.


The left destroys the burgoise society best by assaulting the core family concept. One of the most important lessons taught by Marx.

Discriminating/mobbing families for allowing kids to eat what the school or Kindergarten considers unethical or unhealthy, has become common throughout Germany. So, beside gender, food is high on the objectives list of the cursade for the better new world. General Thunberg just has opened a third front on CO2. So far nobody mentions methan-hydrate, but only cows. Strange. It should be the other way around.

Unfortunately, nobody battles against the demographic explosion in africa, Middle East and South-East Asia. Instead they all try their best to fuel it.

That is stupid indeed. Even if she transitioned to being a female she still has a male body muscle wise.
