WATCH: Tucker Carlson on point with transgender athletes
We’ve seen example after example of transgender women competing in women’s sports and beating the biological women.
Take feelings out of the equation. It’s simply not fair. Reality is, biological men have a number of physiological and physical advantages. It’s built into their make-up, and hormone treatments only do so much.
It’s not fair to biological women, period.
Here’s another example.
A biological male– Franklin Pierce University runner CeCe Telfer– won an NCAA national championship over the weekend.
Franklin Pierce University (FPU) runner CeCe Telfer won the DII women’s 400-meter hurdles on Saturday night, besting the second-place finisher by more than a second.
“Telfer is the first student-athlete in Franklin Pierce history to collect an individual national title,” the university announced.
“It was tough conditions out here with the wind and the heat over the last three days but, as she has over the last six months, CeCe proved herself to be tough enough to handle it,” FPU coach Zach Emerson said in a press release.
I have no doubt that he/she works hard, but it’s still not fair.
In case you’re wondering what the NCAA policy is regarding transgender athletes…
NCAA policy is that male athletes who identify as transgender can compete on women’s teams if they suppress their testosterone levels for a full calendar year. Otherwise, so-called mixed teams — which have both males and females — can compete in the men’s division, but not in the women’s division, according to NCAA rules.
It’s still not fair. Some things aren’t reversible.
