They don't know what they are but they "know" they are not female or male.

Soon there will be 125 different categories for people running...male/female and all the others who think they are something else.

As with any fad, the overwhelming primary motivator is an attempt to get a lot of attention. Without that factor, a "trans" would be as rare as hen's teeth.

The sad thing is that the rest of us have to tolerate and be bombarded with this full-on display of mental illness on a regular basis. I'm sick of hearing about it. Just like I'm sick of hearing about race every five minutes. I'm tired of being force-fed the leftist pet projects constantly.

I don't think so.

The Chicago Marathon/WR record for women is 2:14:04.

I realize that most people are ignorant about what constitutes a fast marathon time... but the only "transgender" male who could run that kind of time would have to be a guy who was already a world class or national class runner AS a male.

Righties seem to think that just any 'ole "alpha male" could hypothetically whack his weenie off and beat these elite women.

Not hardly.

It’s sad if you think about it as the lecture goes in one ear and out the other for probably 4/5th of us. This type of talk is generated by 1/5th of the population designed to educate the other 4/5ths. But the stark reality is the 4/5ths have heard enough and have long since tuned this stuff out. Now it’s just background noise for the masses.

Trigger inducing? Maybe. But just telling it like it is, lefties.

Totally depends on the sport. There are sport where a good woman would no way beat a good man. There are other sports were a woman will almost always be better. Trannies tend to be attracted to the former rather than the latter. At least the ones that make the headlines they so desperately seek.

So, s/he is saying that this huge concession and compromise (imo) is simply not good enough. At least one trans athlete also wants a lot of publicity and some kind of major public celebration to go along with it. I think that s/he just wants a lot of attention, period.

Btw, I think having a separate division for nonbinary athletes is an excellent idea.
Awesome idea.

Chicago marathon is a huge event. They are expecting over 40000 runners.

This brings me back to university. There were reporting the winnner of the race on TV and I was looking outside seeing the large crowd of people watching the marathon. Such a big difference in time between the elites and regular folk.

It's not a "big deal" to most people. It's a sport, so do the sport. Concentrate on that instead of the grand proclamation and celebration stuff that only turns people in caricatures
