What a season she’s had!
Back in August I did a couple of posts about cricket player Maxine Blythin. I missed the news a month later:
🏆 | What a season she’s had!
Your 2019 Kent Women Player of the Year is…. Maxine Blythin!
What a season indeed! Taking a woman’s place on the team and then taking an award from a woman.
One poignant reply a few minutes ago:
I teach at a girls’ school in Kent. We’ve had speakers in from Kent cricket to encourage the girls to view cricket as a sport for them. I guess that was all just a lie.
Oh not at all, girls can still play, they just have to be prepared for boys to be on the team too. I suppose if enough boys decide to cheat that way then girls can’t still play, but…I don’t know, maybe they can stand on the sidelines and cheer the boys on?
Maybe they could start a league of their own. Call it, I don’t know, the “Uterus-havers” league or something. (Aside: Spellcheck doesn’t recognize “uterus-havers”. Clearly Spellcheck isn’t woke.)
This whole transwomen in sports saga reminds me a bit of Rosa Parks. The part of the Rosa Parks story that doesn’t get a lot of emphasis is that she was sitting in the part of the bus reserved for “Colored” people when she refused to move. It wasn’t enough that white people got unique access to the best seats; they also were empowered to replace black people in the less desirable seats if that was all that was available. Something similar is happening in sports. Men’s sports already usually have better facilities and higher rewards, but now if there’s no room for a man in his chosen (men’s) sport, he can always displace a woman in the less-desirable women’s sport.
Yes, the rule was that when the bus got full such that some people had to stand, the line between the white seats and the black seats moved back. It was an invisible, magical kind of moving back, as Blythin’s magical transformation into a woman is not detectable by ordinary human senses.
Which makes me – a bus rider – wonder what happened when there was just one seat open behind the white section – did the white person sit next to a [gasp with horror] black person, or were both black sitters required to vacate that row…stupid question, of course it’s the second. Also if there were zero seats behind the white section, still the black sitters had to give up their seats. A heavily pregnant black woman with a toddler? Out of that seat so that Mr White Banker may sit.
In cases of doubt, at least. I’m guessing not all white people pressed the point on every occasion.
Remember those days when the woke were saying that there are hardly any elite trans-women sportspeople, therefore they have no effect on sporting opportunities for women? Those were the days. Why, I remember that like it was just a couple of weeks ago. Oh…
According to one reply in that thread: “This person played in the mens league this year as well […] and was poor” However I’ve not found evidence of this.
I don’t have the link to hand but I read that Blythin currently plays in two other cricket teams, both male teams.
Well, that’s fluidity for you. Some days a lacklustre man, other days a supremely talented woman.
Funny, though, how a) the talented part isn’t as fluid as the gender feelz, and b) the gender always falls right for match day for whichever team he’s due to play for.
Pink News’ version of events is… predictable.

Predictable and utterly mindless.
