New in PJ Media:
The world having gone absolutely insane, the Mid Vermont Christian School (MVCS) girls’ basketball team is likely to get a lot of heat for this, but in a sane world, they would be the heroes of the story. The team, which is known as the Eagles and has lived up to the nobility and heroism of their name, has withdrawn from Vermont’s Division IV state tournament rather than play against a team that features a male basketball player who says he is a woman. If this young man claimed to be an eagle or an aardvark or a garden slug, he would be receiving psychiatric help at this time and would likely not be playing in the tournament at all. As it is, he is on the verge of being conferred the Left’s coveted victimhood status.
In a sane world, once again, the Long Trail Mountain Lions would be disqualified from the state tournament altogether for sending a boy out onto the court in what is supposed to be a girls’ basketball tournament. Instead, the Mountain Lions are advancing to the next round of the tournament, having won the game that the Eagles forfeited to them because of their refusal to play along with one of the Mountain Lion players’ fantasies and delusions.
MVCS head of school Vicky Fogg, who has clearly retained her ability to discern reality at a time when that is becoming an increasingly rare commodity, explained Wednesday, “We believe playing against an opponent with a biological male jeopardizes the fairness of the game and the safety of our players.” Well, yeah. Of course. One isn’t allowed to say it in all the circles where they trust The Science, but biological males generally tend to be larger and stronger than biological females. Letting a guy play girls’ basketball, a fast-paced game involving a great deal of contact, is just asking for a girl, or several girls, to get hurt.
Fogg also noted the larger picture: “Allowing biological males to participate in women’s sports sets a bad precedent for the future of women’s sports in general.” That is likewise plain and obvious. When Lia Thomas, who is a guy, sets women’s swimming records, it isn’t really women’s swimming anymore. Women are allowed to participate, for the moment anyway, but the winners lists and the records boards no longer reflect either the achievements or abilities of actual women. To enunciate the obvious, when a man sets women’s sporting records, they aren’t really women’s sporting records at all. They’re the records of a man who was allowed to compete against women because of today’s fashionable collective insanity.
There is more. Read the rest here.

Vermont? The state that symbolizes Communist America: that Vermont? Of Bernie Sanders, Pat Leahy, Jim Jeffords, et al – that Vermont?

Good for that school…a “Christian” school. God helps people keep on the path, even when there are boulders thrown down in the way.
The “logical” end to this illogical, demon stuff, is that eventually all of the players on the girl’s teams, will be males who claim to be female because they will play better than the girls who try out for the teams; or they’ll swim faster than the girls who try out for the swim teams.
And is that not the “goal” of those who pretend males can suddenly be females, change their names to sound girlish and then beat the girls?

This far-left dogma is probably something even they don’t believe in but are using it anyway to attack Western culture and beliefs. IF they get complete power (with help.from Islam), the very first thing they will outlaw is the LGBTQ nonsense they have inflicted on the Western World and incarcerated -and worse – all those who follow under that umbrella. Some in the LGBTQ community will already know this but 98% will be unaware or too stupid to see they are being played.
PRCS says
@David Heath
“unaware or too stupid”
Either way, their Muslim pals are definitely playing them.

This is what it’s going to take for this lunacy to stop. Girls and women simply refusing to compete if there’s a nut job GUY on the field.
Ironic isn’t it?
That these girls have the “cajones” to do what’s simply SANE.
And check out Sarah Gonzales piece on LEE Thomas a few weeks back.
The GUY is a big time sexual pervert.
somehistory says
I read that he has some disgusting habits and that he also has a “boyfriend.”
I didn’t read all that was posted about him, because it’s just oo perverse.

The problem with leftism is the notion of equity, which means everyone has the same of everything, and is interchangeable. And that includes ideas. Usually Democrats all vote for Democrat bills in Congress or legislatures. Conformism is the key, everyone in lockstep. So, if the elites say men are girls if they feel they are, then they all have to say that. It would be unequitable and unequal for some Dems to disagree with the party line. So they all march in lockstep.
Thoreau allegedly said that if a man does not keep step with his fellows, it may be that he marches to a different drummer. But apparently Thoreau is not on the leftist reading list. Everyone marches to the leftist drummer or else. I even notice that with ordinary non-elite, non-powerful people I meet in ordinary life conform in their beliefs to the party line, even though they have no power, and the party will never hear what they say. I knew someone from the old Soviet Union,and she claimed people in CentralAsian towns felt free to criticize communism. People I once knew in East Germany claimed we were free to talk. We went for a walk in a field near their village, and they said, we could talk freely, there were no microphones nearby. And yet even ordinary people with leftist leanings seem to throw common sense to the wind and conform. They remind me of Ninotchka in the old film with Grete Garbo, no freedom to think differently imposed by the dictates of conformism. That is what equity means. All the leftists being interchangeable parts of the big machine of socialism. So, of course these men are really women. Fantasy and reality merge and they cannot distinguish the two. Normal people might have fantasies of having the opposite sex, but they wake up and come back to reality. Leftists apparently are never supposed to wake up from such fantasies. Because they win by upholding false beliefs like men being women trapped inside a male body. And needing to be treated like their true inner nature.

Equity is something that makes sense w/ stock ownership, where the number of shares one owns determines the percentage ownership of the company. It makes no sense in determining the ownership of a country, since races/ethnicities/genders… do not have any ownership of a country: individuals do!

Here’s another idea… Don’t forfeit the game, but play a legal game with the boy-including team. Allow the boy’s team to score as many points as they can, while the all-girl team spend their time around the other basket, maybe practicing free throws. The challenge will be for the boy’s team to break the record for the most points ever scored by the winning team in basketball. Can they reach 500 points?

Silly me. I always believed that sex discrimination was against people of one or the other gender. NOT the gender they THINK they are.

Ever watch M.A.S.H.? Any time someone on that show had delusions…thought he was Jesus, or the guy who talked to his socks…they were treated as mental patients, not as someone who has a full set of brain cells in working order., choosing things that are true.
I believe this is all from satan, as he is mankind’s worst enemy.

Actually, when White men are excluded on the most obvious criteria i.e. being White and being male, it’s not surprising that they’d pick up the other privileged groups that they can get into. Being allowed to pretend that they are women is a godsend. And as the case of Ms Evita-Saraswati showed, they can even fake their ethnicities, which really should be easier to fake than one’s gender
I have a lurking suspicion that a lot of these weirdos are actually acting out against the discrimination against White men. Had that not existed, they’d happily have lived normal lives as White men, w/o acting like the Sam Brintons of the world
James Lincoln says
Interesting point, Infidel.
This whole trans thing is at least one way for a white male to join a protected group.
But it’s “better” than converting to islam…

Kudos to that Vermont Christian school–and in the midst of prim and PeeCee New England at that!
Are there five people in all the woke, Western world who truly believe that Bruce Jenner is as much a woman as the mothers who bore them, rather than a eunuch in women’s clothes (and, perhaps, with fancier cutting)?
Namer says
Good for this school and their being strong enough to protect their players and not supporting this transgender insanity.
