USA Powerlifting Looks to Appeal Decision by Judge Allowing Biological Man to Compete Against Women

30

The left is erasing women. Kudos to USA Powerlifting. This is evil madness.

Washington Times: A Minnesota judge has ordered USA Powerlifting to allow male-born athletes who identify as female to compete in the women’s category, a victory for the transgender movement. Ramsey County District Court Judge Patrick C. Diamond gave USA Powerlifting two weeks to revise its policies and cease its “unfair discriminatory practices” after ruling in favor of JayCee Cooper, a lifter who was barred in 2019 from women’s events after transitioning from male to female (Washington Times). Daily Mail: USA Powerlifting has already expressed interest in appealing the decision, which was issued Monday. President Larry Maile told KARE in Minneapolis his organization disagrees with the court’s decision and will be exploring their options (Daily Mail).

There’s truly something mentally disturbed in any man who wants to compete against women. There’s an underlying rage and hostility in that very act. Think about it.

I once had a girlfriend that was on her college tennis team. I am descent tennis player, but nothing special. We were a dead even match, and I would not call myself mentally disturbed for playing tennis against her. Out of many games, I won about half and she won about half. Then there were the times the game ended in a draw, with each unable to break the other’ serve.

That doesn’t mean men should compete against women in women’s sports.

Amen. It is my daily prayer. I think it may be the only avenue left for our godless nations to restart believing. How many slaps up the side of the head do people need? But this is not about restoration of the nations – that’s past and gone. Its about so many fulfilling prophecies that one would need to intentionally keep themselves blind to not note it and at least wonder if God and the Bible could be true. Many will give reasons why they didn’t believe, but there will be no excuses.

For anyone out there who sees an end of things coming yet still doesn’t believe in Christ, consider yourself blessed; God may well be touching your heart and mind to begin searching for Him – as though it was a personal invitation to find the truth. Get yourself a Bible and ask God to reveal the truth to you. You can even challenge Him to show you the truth…He is always willing to meet someone half way on such a thing. But be careful, there are wolves in sheep’s clothing who will try to deceive you; they will knock on your door with mouths spewing lies. Pray for truth and read for yourself.

Unless both teams are composed of both men and women, biological men should never be allowed to compete against women. Where is NOW and all of the women’s lib groups? Nowhere to be found.

This fraud is not an XX female and it and things like it are destroying women’s sports, our culture and the military. Even if castrated it has the advantages of the male body and development and only an insane commie judge would allow this. This garbage started with michael robinson and barry.

It actually began before the Obama nightmare, in 2007, as a visceral reaction to the “not guilty” verdicts in the respective trials of Kobe Bryant and of three members of the Duke lacrosse men’s team. I remember in the latter case, the frothing-at-the-mouth anti-male hatred vented by radical feminazis and their vow to “stamp out” “toxic masculinity” at its root. Which evidently meant transgenderizing them.

But this has shaped up to be a supremacist power grab as well as not too dissimilar to the degradation (yes, I said it, degradation) of women under radical Islam.

All biological women should sit out any competitions until the matter is cleared up in the courts. If JayCee Cooper wants to be the only one competing, then it can have the prestige of winning the gold medal against an empty field. And as an aside, the judge in the case should have his credentials reviewed by a judicial grievance committee. There is a principle called equity that comes into play to trump the law when following the law leads to an absurd result. The classic case in this regard is Rigs v Palmer, 115 NY 506 (1899), a New York Court of Appeals case written by Justice Cardozo. There grandfather writes a will leaving substantially everything to his grandson Elmer Palmer. Grandfather starts getting very unhappy with his grandson’s behavior and threatens to change his will, so the grandson poisons him.

The statute of wills, then in effect, stated that a person named in a properly executed will inherits in accordance with the will. So, Elmer Palmer who was at that time convicted of his grandfather’s death would inherit according to the statute, and the criminal aspect of the situation would be separate. Judge Cardozo, writing for the majority, invoked the principles of equity to block Elmer Palmer’s inheritance. You can read the decision here: https://www.nycourts.gov/reporter/archives/riggs_palmer.htm

The gist of the decision is that laws are written for the usual situations and cannot possibly cover all situations. So, if there are situations where following the law would lead to an absurd or unjust result, equity does what ought to be done, and it trumps the law.

Likewise, the legislative intent concerning the law that prohibits discrimination against transsexuals never contemplated using it as a sword to ruin women’s athletics. Instead, it probably contemplated non-discrimination in employment, college admissions, admission to places of public gathering such as restaurants, sporting events, etc. The judge should have seen that allowing transsexual men to compete against females is an absurd result obtained by strict application of the law and ruled the opposite of how he did.

If some “judge” is going to allow this JayCee Cooper dude to compete in women’s weight lifting competitions…..why not allow Vera De Milo from “In Living Color” to also compete ?!?!?!

Third rate male competitors will set world records.
The third raters wouldn’t appear in the top 10 of a male only competition.

There is a very simple solution to this problem. ALL women refuse to participate! Then there would only be one trany competing and everybody would leave and never attend another event like this. GAME OVER!

The irrationality of these insane decisions, allowing biological men to compete in a women’s division is incomprehensible! Wokeness has lost all sense of equality, justice, and common sense. Please File to stop this degradation of women’s sports

If you take a monster truck then replace the body with that of a Prius, would anybody think that thing is really a Prius? Of course not! So if you take a man and make him look like a woman with cosmetics, maybe hormone treatments, maybe a boob job and even more rarely, bottom surgery, all you have is a man’s body that was made to give the appearance that it is a woman’s body. And for most who don’t get bottom surgery… no natural (genetic) woman has that appendage down there which sets a trans “woman” apart from the rest of womanhood. In other words that man’s body, no matter what contortions one goes through, is still a man’s body underneath all that was done. To think that women are able to compete against a man even if that man gets hormone treatments and cosmetic surgery denies why we have that thing we call women’s sports in the first place. It’s truly pathetic that so many in our society can’t understand this notion!

So we are letting East German women, pumped up on steroids, compete against real women now?

Wait, no? You mean it’s just trans men who can’t compete against real men?

I can’t stop laughing over this issue of men winning in women’s sports events. The solution to the problem is so simple. If you are a real Female and they allow a man to enter the competition claiming to be a woman. To end this, all the real Women have to do. Is “WALK AWAY.” Never compete in an event that allows men to enter. STOP putting up with it. Or just remain being controlled and laughed at when the failed man type beats the Snot out of you.
