Boys Are Not Supposed to Beat Girls

It should be a no-brainer to suggest that physically stronger, biologically male athletes have no business competing against their female counterparts - but here we are. It has become a cancellable offense to even suggest that men and women are just not built the same.

And yet, the inclusion of transgender people in sports is a focal point of US, Canadian and British politics with many, including comedienne Sarah Silverman, have come out swinging against the supposed “transphobia” of Olympic gold medalist Caitlyn Jenner (formerly Bruce) for making that very suggestion.

Joe Rogan faced the same scrutiny from the woke crowd when he spoke out against transgender MMA athlete Fallon Fox, whose powerful blows in the ring turned biologically female opponents into pulp.

“She calls herself a woman but... I tend to disagree. And, uh, she, um... she used to be a man but now she has had, she's a transgender which is (the) official term that means you've gone through it, right? And she wants to be able to fight women in MMA. I say no f***ing way,” saidRogan. “I say if you had a d*** at one point in time, you also have all the bone structure that comes with having a d***. You have bigger hands, you have bigger shoulder joints. You're a f***ing man. That's a man, OK? You can't have... that's... I don't care if you don't have a d*** any more...”

Despite all the words spent on explaining why transgender individuals unfairly disadvantage females, little has been said of why men do not want to see transgender people going up against women and girls. Simply put: men don’t like seeing women getting beaten in an unfair fight, and the inclusion of transgender people goes against men’s instinct to protect women.

In fact, a 2016 study shows that in comparison to women, men are 1.55 times more likely to express concern about the safety and privacy of women. In contrast, women were found to be four times more likely than men to assert that transgender people do not directly cause concerns to their safety and privacy in women’s bathrooms - women in the study emphasized that their concerns were around “perverts” posing as transgender individuals to access female bathrooms, which says little about transgender people who struggle not with gender dysphoria, but autogynephilia or some related paraphilia.  

The creators of the study, which drew their data from slightly over a thousand comments posted on 190 articles to gauge public opinion, theorize that men are more likely to view transgender women “not as females, but as males who are lying or mistaken about their gender, and consequently they view themselves as protecting females from these males intruding into private, female-only spaces.”

The small sample size and validity of the arguably questionable methodology of the study notwithstanding, what is certain is that men, who are on average more disagreeable, assertive, and pragmatic than women, have stronger concerns about women’s safety around what they perceive as “men” than women in general.

Furthermore, given the agreeable personalities more women have in contrast to men, women are likely more concerned about being exposed as “transphobic” than men are, especially in the context of cancel culture - hence their need to explain their concerns about “perverts,” which would at least provide justification to be concerned over transgender individuals in women’s bathrooms.  

Numerous articles, written by feminists, would have one believe that most women are silently afraid of being attacked by men. There is some truth to the claim, and cognizant men recognize the physical advantages they have over women.

Aside from instances of self-defense, there is not a single justification for a man to overpower a woman, and the inclusion of transgender people in women’s sports evokes a visceral reaction in men whose protective instinct towards women becomes all too real.

Here’s the truth: males have more strength, stamina, lung capacity, bone density, and so forth – and it’s all due in large part to testosterone – all of which confer males a significant athletic advantage over females. And that’s not fair.

After all, boys are not supposed to beat girls.
