“It’s Not Fair!”

     If you’ve ever had responsibility for preschool children, you’ve heard that phrase. Likely you heard it enunciated in one of those inimitable juvenile shrieks that no adult throat can reproduce. It’s the juvenile plaint. Nothing else comes close.

     Fairness, of course, is one of those words. There are as many definitions as there are speakers of English. Getting two toddlers to agree on what’s “fair” is an achievement worthy of some sort of prize. Something that comes with a commemorative medal and perhaps a day on the national calendar. But once in a great while, we can achieve consensus on what’s “fair” – mostly by agreeing on what isn’t:

     Former LPGA Tour golfer Amy Olson is among critics calling out organizers for allowing a male player to compete in a major women’s golf tournament.
     Olson called Hailey Davidson’s inclusion in the women’s side of the sport “unfair” as the male player attempts to make the LPGA Tour.
     Davidson is a middle-aged man who claims to be a “transgender woman.”
     He was among the top female golfers who punched their ticket to the next stage of Q School.
     Those competing in the Q School are hoping to earn an LPGA Tour card.
     However, cards are limited, meaning Davidson will take a spot from a real female player if he qualifies.

     The hits just keep on comin’, don’t they, Gentle Reader? This particular outcropping of the “gender fluidity” phenomenon is the one most likely to shove the madness into the dustbin. The arrant unfairness of compelling women to compete athletically against men is enough to put the most ardent defender of “gender fluidity” on the back foot. The instances in which a mediocre male performer has trounced the best women competitors in the world have multiplied to a staggering degree, as has the outrage over such injustices. It gives me hope that the end may be in sight.

     I’m sure I have no need to pontificate about why such cross-sex competitions are unfair. The real question before us is whether we have spine enough to put a stop to it. We’re must face down the venom-filled, spittle-spewing apostles of “you’re whatever gender you think you are” and “a woman is whoever says xe’s a woman” and tell them to fuck off. (And take their “my pronouns are” and “don’t call me by my deadname” crap with them.)

     Only fearless sanity can defeat complete lunacy.

    I find it fascinating that precisely none of the very top female athletes are “transitioning” to compete against males, but that quite a few middle-of-the-road male athletes are suddenly female, and – just as suddenly – winning gold medals and top awards and setting records. Cases abound where women competing against men in physical competitions of any sort are routinely and almost dismissively outclassed. High school boys have defeated Olympic gold medalists, and there is now a standing wager for the WNBA to field a team against male high schoolers, with a million dollars on the line (amazingly enough, the WNBA is refusing comment). I have no doubt that there might be one or two exceptionally gifted females on the planet that might be able to compete against men in a rare field, but they are rare as hens’ teeth.

     

    Kinda like the relative immigration between the United States and Cuba. For all of the official psalms of praise about that glorious Workers’ Paradise, which way is the traffic flowing? Cui bono?

    1. Seeing as how many libs (not leftist) — who have abandoned all that common sense upon which your observations are based — are defending trans athletes, it demonstrates the effectiveness of saturated propaganda (fairness) and gas-lighting (the disappearance of the video where one trans boxer killed his female opponent.)

  1. Fran, I’m currently researching AI performance in preparation for a screed. This story about trans in LGPA requires quite a bit of memory holing that I’m about to bring back. What is also demonstrates is that there are ways to drag out the truth even from a biased AI. Ironically Leo is installed in Brave.com, a browser started by a tycoon who himself was reportedly the victim of a woke board of directors cancelling him at Firefox.

    It’s hard to believe it’s been more than 20 years. Annika Sorenstam, the hottest woman golfer in 2003, was given a birth in that year’s Colonial Golf Tournament. To do so, a regular male player had to be bumped (though that history has been altered.) But he was saved by V J Singh who said he was backing out for the sake of the 156th player who worked hard to earn it. For doing so he has attacked by the press and his reputation suffered.

    As you are about to see, here is why TPTB, who insist there be a memory hole, hate us old guy’s with long memories.

    So, how did Annika Sorenstam finish at colonial? Well, it depends on when and how you ask Brave Leo.

    Brave Leo#1: According to the search results, Annika Sorenstam finished with a score of 71-74 at the 2003 Bank of America Colonial, missing the cut by four shots. Despite not making the cut, her historic appearance at the PGA Tour event remains one of the most iconic moments in golf, paving the way for future generations of female golfers.

    Brave Leo#2: Ultimately, Singh did not play alongside Sorenstam at the Colonial, and she went on to make a respectable appearance, finishing with a score of 1-over-par 285. Singh’s comments, while controversial, did not deter Sorenstam from her historic appearance, which marked the first time a woman had competed in a PGA Tour event in 58 years.

    Yes, the search results can’t both be right. Yes, the second is a fabrication. She was 1-over-par 145. (Understandable error my butt.)

    Additionally, it is hard with Brave Leos to find the sacrificial reason Singh gave for backing out. Mostly you will find the sewage  left from the press finding six ways to Sunday to identify misogyny as his motive. Meanwhile, as you see, even less left Leo lauds Sorenstam as the hero.

    Little did the world of 2003 suspect that the Progs were using her to pave the way for trans 20 years later.

    1. Oh, this is so priceless an inconsistency by artificial “intelligence” I could not not provide it as comical evidence of the extent the Left will go to gaslight us all.

      Q: What was annika sörenstam’s actual performance in the 2003 colonial tournament, and how did it impact the event’s dynamics?

      Annika Sörenstam played in the 2003 Bank of America Colonial tournament, becoming the first woman in over 50 years to compete in a PGA Tour event. She shot 71-72-74-72=289, finishing at 1-under-par 289. Although she missed the cut by three strokes, her performance was respectable considering the challenging course and the high level of competition.

      For the sake of non-golfers, one cannot complete 72 holes of golf when one is cut after 36 holes. Those two 72 shown in this result is total invention. Cannot be due to simple error as the one displayed in Brave Leo #2 above.
