This is a small bit of hope to save women's sports

Telfer entered the trials held in Eugene, Oregon, but was not allowed to compete based on the World Athletics guidelines released in 2019. The regulations require runners in international women's events between 400 meters and one mile to have testosterone levels below 5 nonomoles per liter for a span of 12 months.



The regulations are associated with two-time Olympic gold medalist Caster Semenya, who has been fighting them for years.


Telfer initially competed on the men's team at Division II Franklin Pierce. She took time off and came back to compete for the women's team, winning the 400-meter NCAA title in 2019.

I don't think sanity will prevail until these men start winning competitions. I hope the man from Nz wins the Gold in the weightlifting. There needs to be a high profile reckoning.

Caster Semenya who the article mentions has a Y chromosome and testicles. Caster has 2 Olympic Gold Medals, 3 World Championships, and World Records. All as a woman.

How can a biological female compete against a biological male and even have a slight chance of winning??

The Left is always saying “listen to the science,” THEY need to listen to the science since all their WOKE-NESS is destroying biological female sports… Period.

Sorry, but it doesn’t matter how much lipstick you put on a pig, it’s still a pig.

And no, I don’t have any issues with the Trans community…. It’s America, do what the heck you want to do, I couldn’t care less.

I disagree. Let her compete and knock a biological female off the olympic team.

Seriously looking forward to the L in LGBT to reach a breaking point on this, probably take 10-20 years but it's coming lol.

This could be a trend that's catching on.

That’s not sanity. The Olympic Committee thinks this guy can compete against biological females just because he has less testosterone than other men (but still more than women!). They think testosterone is all that makes up the difference between men and women athletes. And it isn’t too long before even hormone levels won’t matter, it will be all about how one feels.

Anyone remember the Eastern European Olympic weightlifters of the 50s to early 60s? It’s because of them that the Olympics started sex testing of athletes.

According to democrats, if female athletes are not willing to embrace the testicles of a biological man who pretends to be a women, they are a bigoted MAGA nazi and they kill kittens. Whether this is true or not remains to be seen, but cancel culture doesn't seem to care. It's their way, or the highway. And if you dare to refer to a transgender by their biological sex on Twitter, boom... There goes your account, in the dustbin of history. This is the democrat way. This is who they are, how they operate, and what they are all about.
