Womenfolk, Know Your Place
An adult biological male who identifies as a woman edged out a 13-year-old girl to take first place in a women’s skateboarding contest held in New York Saturday.
Sometimes reality is a little too on-the-nose.
Update, via the comments, where Melofon adds,
Ben Shapiro’s Daily Wire takes a brave stand in favour of … the tradition and competitive integrity of the sport of women’s skateboarding. Opening itself up to the (correct) rebuttal that it has no interest in skateboarding or women in skateboarding, and is only covering it to pick on the tranny.
Well, I doubt that ladies’ skateboarding is a regular topic of conversation at the Daily Wire, or among its readers, but the particulars of the sport are not the thing that’s most interesting. There is a wider context, of which the above is very much part. I would guess that readers are more likely to be interested in the pretence that unwell men can become women, seemingly by dint of wishing, and are therefore to be admitted, unopposed, into women’s sports and women’s intimate spaces. The Daily Wire’s readers may even regard this trend, correctly, as pretentious, unrealistic, and unhappy in its implications.
To register this phenomenon – and its wide and rapid spread – as noteworthy is rather more than, as Melofon puts it, picking on the tranny.
More details of the skateboarding saga can be found here.
Readers will note that several wins by dysmorphic men have occurred in women’s skateboarding, and that female players who aren’t entirely happy with this arrangement find themselves assailed by trans activists for daring to complain. Again, the issue isn’t ladies’ skateboarding as such, but rather the ongoing and widespread efforts to normalise something that’s quite odd, one might say surreal, and often unjust.
If another example is required, one that shows, quite vividly, just how awry things can get…
Note that, being scrupulously woke, the women’s shelter sided, quite emphatically, with the male interloper. A man who is seriously mentally ill, who boasts of stabbing people and is very excited by the thought of poisoning the water supply, and who seems to enjoy taunting the abused women with whom he shares a space by making sure they see his erection.
Despite what would seem to be a full board of flashing red lights, the woke administrators denounced criticism of their policy – and concern for the actual women subjected to his proximity – as “transphobic.” Concerns regarding the inaptness of his presence, and its implications for the women’s safety at a time of vulnerability, were dismissed as unworthy of acknowledgement: “We refuse to engage in a dialogue that gives a platform to transphobic groups or individuals or otherwise does damage to women who are transgender.” Instead, the shelter’s administrators insisted, proudly, on being “non-judgmental.”
It would, I think, be a plausible premise for a psychological horror film. Not one I’d care to watch, mind you, but still.
And if someone, or an entire institution, can be fundamentally compromised on something so glaringly obvious, with the sociopathy staring them in the face, where is the upper limit of all this pious pretending? What bridge would be too far?
Update 2:
And no, the above is not some one-off aberration.
Consider this an open thread. Share ye links and bicker.
Your children will look at my genitals.
They call it Pride, you know. I suppose that if, instead, the events were called “Dignity” or “Self-Respect,” or “Don’t Hate Us, We’re Just Like Normal People,” the mismatch with what’s on show would become a little too obvious.

All this “Tr@n$” Sh1t£ boing foisted on humanity in The West (I can’t detect it going on in places like Swordy-Arabia or ChIndo-A$!@) must be a deliberate plant of confusion and disruption.
Designed as yet one more method of undoing all the bolts that hold Western Civiliation together.
We need, and fast, to find out the names of those which are “very high up” and which are responsible for this plan.
Playing on easy mode.
Plus getting the chance to humiliate other people for no good reason, and to be applauded for it. By pretentious idiots, I mean.

Um, yes? Bezmenov told us how this was going to go down forty years ago.
the names of those which are “very high up” and which are responsible for this plan
The whole point of “demoralization” is that there are no higher ups. It’s subversion of the culture by amplifying the existing internal divisions while destroying the fundamental moral universals that keep a culture together (that’s what Bezmenov means by “demoralization”; he wasn’t aware that in English the term has a different meaning, that of despair and despondency). The Soviet subversives started the dominoes falling long ago. What we’re seeing now is just the last of them falling.
What is demoralizing – in the English sense – is that Bezmenov was 100% right about everything we’ve seen come to pass, and he also said that once you have reached the point where we are today there is no coming back. When an entire generation, arguably two, is this “demoralized” there’s no fixing it. You have to write off those entire generation(s) and start with the next, inculcating traditional Western values and religion-based morality from birth up. But the only people available to do that are the demoralized generations who don’t believe in any of it.
I’ve said before that in Canada at least the only two options remaining are Chile or Venezuela, and since we have no nor can produce a Pinochet, it’s catching rats for dinner for us. It remains to be seen whether the US can produce a Pinochet at this point, because a brutal suspension-of-the-Constitution level purge with bodies falling from helicopters like rain is the only way to retake the civic institutions.
Assuming Bezmenov was right about that. And he was right about everything else.
What is demoralizing – in the English sense – is that Bezmenov was 100% right about everything we’ve seen come to pass,
Well, if people can deny the obvious reality right in front of them – and can rage against anyone who dares to notice the reality that they are so carefully ignoring, or pretending to ignore, neurotically – then you have to wonder what else such people can do, and to whom. It’s why the trans issue seems much bigger than the tiny demographic that it’s supposedly about. If you can be made to lie about this, to abandon basic probity and tie yourself in knots, what else will you lie about?
Where is the upper limit of all this pretending?

I suspect that taking your children to Pride is about the best way available to instil conservative values.
Those three little words.

Given the advanced stage of the lady’s pregnancy, I’m tempted to find an image of a foetus of similar age and then superimposing her own words. But then it might seem a little… well, sick.
Those three little words.
TBF, she could be referring to herself.
But according to that soccer player Rappinoe (sp?), it is a myth that trans XY are a threat to women’s sports. It is so curious that not a single XX trans is taking titles away from men.
Just realised there are actually four words. I missed the ‘a’.
But the point stands.
In 2017, the US women’s soccer team lost 5-2 in a friendly to Dallas U15s boys team. Not only is Rapinoe full of shit, she knows it.

The bedlamites and anarchists fail to appreciate that civilization is the most difficult state to attain and keep. It is easy to destroy–look what Biden has done in just a year. Look what BLM did. Look at Venezuela: from richest country in South America to literally eating rats. And of all the people who would suffer during a collapse, the wokies are the least prepared. Chaos is a terrible thing. Horrific.
Speaking of Bedlamites, if his doesn’t end the war in Ukraine, nothing will.

Glue hands to pavement: that guy used to play soccer.

She’s now moved a bit to defensive mode and claims that because it’s not important because “it’s not everywhere.” and, oh, your kid’s volleyball team is just not important.
IOW “shut up, bigots.”

As one of the comments pointed out it is st least a small mercy that no children were visible during that particular clip so maybe US parents in presumably west coast cities haven’t completely lost the plot.
Having said that how many of the parents will be monitoring their children’s curriculum to make sure “bugs” isn’t hosting story time?
Coming soon to a grade school near you.
It is interesting that not a single parent in history ever requested that schools allow demonstrations of hero sex acts or naked hetero adults to small children, nor have schools pushed it. Now that we are to normalize the rainbow, and the rainbow is totally defined by sex acts, we have the mass adoption of sex-explicit discussions and naked people for small children. This is logical, in a perverted way.
allow demonstrations of hero sex acts
“And now, Hercules will demonstrate his heroic strength by impregnating these two dozen maidens.”
This is logical, in a perverted way.
Indeed. Indeed.
Seven TikTok dances you can do to save Roe v. Wade.
Not just dances, TikTok dances!
Roe: one of the states they are protesting has a 15 week trigger for it to be illegal. 15 weeks. There are lots of people who think an early termination is not so terrible but who don’t like the idea of an identifiable baby being killed. The Left is going all in on killing babies, not just fetus’. And up to day of birth in many cases. Eventually, they show who they really are. When nothing is sacred and it is all about “me me me” then convenience and feelings determines morality.

The best part is it is listed under “Parenting”.

There used to be a New Yorker cartoonist, Jules Feiffer, who did cartoons of silly women saying liberal things while doing interpretive dance.
It is interesting how a lot of people are figuring out that this is the last stage (or is that accepting “MAP” ideology?)
But in case of the Trans issue, I would argue the root cause isn’t some diabolical Soviet plot. It’s the outcome of the insanity of western feminism and it’s central concept: women are at least equal to men in every respect, and any differential outcome is sexism (unless it’s in their favour of course)
If you have a culture where media, corporate, government office, cinema, university propagates gender “equity” and we are bombarded with kick ass female heroines, flawless female leaders and girl power….
How do you then push back when a man says “you know what? You are right. I am just like a girl and demand to be treated as such”
Well, if people can deny the obvious reality right in front of them
Bezmenov again:
your kid’s volleyball team is just not important
Neither is women’s soccer.
Keep in mind that Rapinoe will never be affected by the proposals she’s spouting because she’s retiring shortly.
the root cause isn’t some diabolical Soviet plot. It’s the outcome of the insanity of western feminism and it’s central concept
Feminism is and has always been explicitly Marxist.

Good News Everyone! Roe v. Wade is so yesterday, the new Current Thing is ZOMG, we are now a theocracy !!!11!.
Farnsworth, the notion that someone somewhere may be praying keeps them up at night. That’s because their secret fear is not that the prayers are being spoken, but that they are being heard.

Something I’ve never understood about militant anti-theists. If you truly believe He doesn’t exist, then who the hell cares that somebody’s praying to Him?
I will say that I 100% agree with their position on prayer in public schools, but my solution to that is to privatize all education and allow parents to send their children to whatever sectarian institute they deem best.
I will say that I 100% agree with their position on prayer in public schools…
Having gone to a public grade school in the South, every morning we had to recite the Pledge of Allegiance and The Lord’s Prayer, later I was at a school where Grace was recited before every meal, still later at places where chaplains were trotted out before nigh every mandatory ceremony. Only times I have been a house of worship of any denomination was for weddings and funerals.
All that public praying didn’t turn me into a Southern Baptist (the dominant brand at the time and place) and as I remain a proud member of the Universal Church Triumphant of the Apathetic Agnostic (“We Don’t Know, and We Don’t Care”) I just stand there when everybody else is doing whatever their rituals are.
Mandatory prayer in school – no, somebody praying on their own and/or with their like minded compadres, who cares.
Speaking of theocracy, Qatar is keeping this poor thing from archaeology and sex work.
What’s a girl to do?

Ben Shapiro’s Daily Wire takes a brave stand in favor of … the tradition and competitive integrity of the sport of women’s skateboarding. Opening itself up to the (correct) rebuttal that it has no interest in skateboarding or women in skateboarding, and is only covering it to pick on the tranny.
Skateboarding is an activity for androgynous teenage misfits, for whom trannies are a good cultural fit, included and invited. A lot of skateboarders sympathize with or participate in Antifa-type groups, and would take a swing with a bicycle lock at Ben Shapiro if the opportunity presented itself. But his paper is presenting itself as their defender, from something they haven’t chosen to defend themselves against.
The prize money – $500 for 1st to $100 for 6th – doesn’t cover the costs. I assume the regulars on the tour are funded by their parents, by sponsorship deals, and by social media promotions. If they get bumped off the podium by a tranny, they lose visibility which might lose them a sponsorship deal, but they can’t complain too loudly because complaining about the tranny will lose them all their sponsorship deals. They live and die by social media likes. Tough, but that’s the life they’ve chosen.
The 13 year old and the 10 year old who got bumped down a place by the tranny were also in the top six when they were 12 and 9 last year. That’s in the nature of skateboarding, where four out of the top six males were also 16 or under. It’s also in the nature of women’s sports, where a fully-developed adult female body can sometimes be a competitive disadvantage – a contradiction that women’s sports seems happy to live with (the official explanations for prepubescent female champions – the sport oppressed women until five years ago by telling them that athletics was harmful for their marriage and career prospects, but these girls are the new generation who’ll stay in it as adults as long as there’s equality of earnings, media hype, merchandise purchases, “mainstream acceptance” AND transgender acceptance). So the Daily Wire has no good reason to be worried on behalf of the little girls who are competing against grown-ups – in this sport it’s the grown-ups who should be afraid of the little girls.
