How is it that when men dress as women – like Robin Williams in Mrs. Doubtfire – it is totally funny, but when women play boyish it just falls flat. In Thailand lady-boy shows were popular. We even had a lady-boy “perform” for us at a Nike sponsored party. He was an admin with a killer red dress, high heels, tons of make-up beautifully applied, and a haughty demeanor. No one could stop laughing.
It was just so strange and awkward.
But stranger still – now we have men dressing as women to play in women’s athletic competitions. Why? Is it just a con to get a free education and attention, or is it a true mental illness?
I remember Title 9 passing. I was a school girl and when I joined a basketball team. It was the first time teammates passed to me because they trusted me as a teammate and looked to me as a leader. Heady stuff for the baby of the family with two older brothers who wouldn’t even acknowledge her at school let alone on a basketball court!
But, as I said, now we have men taking away team positions in college sports to masquerade as women and take their women scholarships, team awards, and educational opportunities. Suddenly the lady-boys aren’t so funny. And its time to realize this gender identity dysphagia is a mental illness and should be treated as such. Science experiments have concluded that men have xy chromosome and women have xx chromosomes. This should be our standard in the law.
University of Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas, who has become central to the debate about transgender inclusion in competitive women’s sports, lost a race Saturday to Iszac Henig, a trans male swimmer at Yale University who swims on the women’s team.
Where are the women in women sports??
