“But it isn’t even winning. That’s the irony of it: IT ISN’T EVEN WINNING.”
Well, like so much in this issue, it’s a matter of definition. To you, ‘winning’ means “triumphing in a fair competition to determine the best person in that particular class of competitor”. To these fuckheads, it means “getting the adulation that winners get without exerting the effort.” (For some of them, at least, there’s the added bonus of, “While screwing over as many women as possible”.)
True, true. But all the same, it’s not the kind of winning where you get the thrill of really doing it. The thrill of pulling off the con, yes, but the “I was best of my peers on this occasion!!” no. But, clearly, they don’t give a shit about that.

Is it possible that, being delusional about being the sex they’re not, they’re equally as delusional about winning fairly? Technically, since they’re following the rules set out by the governing body, these men aren’t cheating at all. Sure, we know they’re cheating and that women got screwed over for them to get their medal/trophy/scholarship/whatever, but they can point out that the leagues in question invited and encouraged them to cheat set the rules they played by, fair and square. It’s a fig leaf that can be measured in fractions of a femtometer, but it’s cover enough for them, apparently. A tawdry validation is better than no validation at all, right?
I think the ones who compete against women aren’t actually delusional about being the sex they’re not. I think they know damn well what sex they are and are simply cheating, end of story.
not Bruce, a lot of those men are agitating for those rules; the leagues weren’t going to change the rules just because someone noticed there were trans-“women” out there. They were pushed that direction. And a number of them have sued when not allowed to cheat.
Maybe they’re delusional. Maybe not. Either way, it’s cheating. And you’d have to be so delusional to think that woman a foot shorter than you and with many fewer pounds is actually just a different sized woman from you, especially when all or most of the women on the team are her size. At that point, you might be so delusional you were non-functional. I don’t know. But I suspect there is a lot of wink-wink knowing.
Because life is about winning at any cost. Lie, cheat, steal, butcher reproductive organs, whatever it takes.
But it isn’t even winning. That’s the irony of it: IT ISN’T EVEN WINNING.
Phony wins for phony people.
Those are some pretty big biceps.
I bet all the young women in high school or university who aspire to become professional golfers are very, Very, VERY inspired by this. *cough*

What happened to the pictures? Did someone get smart and take them down, realizing what we could see?
