So, this won't be popular, but I think we should back off and let the TIMs hang themselves on the sports.

It's so very obviously farcical to let them in once you see them compared side by side, a year of them co competing would hammer home the physical differences better than years of showing the charts and studies in the media.

This should have a knock on effect to the prisons etc later on.

A lot of us were hoping that the 2020 Olympics would Peak Trans the world. It's a cruel twist of fate, both for the athletes and for sanity, that they were canceled.

The Olympics might have stopped all the legislation in countries just starting down the Trans Train, and would, IMO, have stopped the atrocious US Equality Act in its tracks.

But the 2016 Olympics in which three males with DSDs won all three medals in the women's 800m didn't peak the world about that scam.

It's been nearly two years now since the world learned that Semenya, Wambui and Niyonsaba are XY males with functioning testes, no ovaries, male levels of T & male-typical sensitivity to T. Yet the MSM, academia, human rights organizations and all the establishment still constantly call these guys "women with hyperandrogenism" and "intersex females" who've been unfairly treated and should be allowed to continue competing in female sports.

During the pandemic I was catching up on track and field competitions and I pegged Niyonsaba as a male just from watching him run (I already knew about Semenya). They're intersex MALES ffs.

I think that back then TiMs in women's sports were still rare and new. Now, at least in the US with all the state legislatures passing Save Women's Sports-type bills, the Olympics could tip the balance.

I think that the US is Peak Transing in record time and I think the sports bills, Rand Paul calling out Rachel Levine, Super Straight, the Reddit mess, and the GOP in general realizing it's a wedge issue will help us cross the finish line (pun intended) but let's hope before the Equality Act passes.

Number one, what the hell is pickleball?

Two, this crap:

“I’m hoping that this brings the community together and people realize that transgender women don’t have an advantage,” Reeder told CBS12 News. “I used to be able to play for four hours at a time. I can’t do that now because my muscle mass has changed since coming out, taking hormones and reducing the muscle mass in my body.”

Reeder says her hormone levels are now in sync with those many cisgender females, and she qualified for the women’s team after explaining the details of her transition to athletic directors.

Once again, shame on MSM for reporting this like "oh isn't it wonderful" and using the WRONG pronouns. I think I'll start calling them the Flat Earth Media.

Pickleball? I thought pickles were kryptonite to tims.
