Yesterday, Townhall reported that the International Olympic Committee (IOC) was likely to issue a rule banning "trans athletes" from women's competitions at the upcoming 2028 games in Los Angeles. It is the right move. Last October, the U.N. — hardly a bastion of anti-trans ideologues — noted that some 900 women lost medals and opportunities to men in athletic competitions.
I have long railed about the Left's embrace of radical trans ideology, and I've been called a TERF (trans-exclusionary reactionary feminist) for it. That's a title I'll proudly own if it means that women are not forced to compete against men. It's not only profoundly unfair, but it's dangerous.
Payton McNabb was 17 when her "trans" competitor spiked a volleyball into her face so hard it knocked her unconscious. McNabb was left partially paralyzed from the injury, has a traumatic brain injury (TBI), and faced a slew of problems, including trouble walking.
As Townhall reported yesterday, the IOC "discovered" what the rest of us knew ages ago: men and women are physically different, and men have significant physical advantages over women, even women who are highly-trained competitive athletes.
🚨 BREAKING — The IOC to BAN Trans Athletes from Female Events.

They made a GROUNDBREAKING scientific discovery: "there were physical advantages to being born male that remained with athletes, including those who had taken treatment to reduce testosterone levels."

Last June, I visited the Marathon Run Museum in Greece. It was a fascinating collection of Olympic memorabilia and history, but what stood out to me more than anything was the marathon times. The disparity between women and men was plain as day; even the lowest-performing men outperformed the top women runners.
But it seems this sensible policy to protect women's sports and safety has made the trans activist crowd mad. So mad, in fact, they've given up any sense of science in the pursuit of a political agenda.
They weren’t fucking ‘born male’, they are female and always have been, and are now being excluded because their birth certificate was written wrongly and they have so many sodding hoops to jump through to correct it. There. https://t.co/pjOoBKckhh

Webberley is, in fact, a real doctor and not a parody account. Think about that for a moment. Here we have a doctor who believes mentally ill men were simply "assigned" the wrong gender at birth. This harkens back the piece I wrote last week about Jonni Skinner, the Michigan man who was transitioned as a kid. His doctor, like Webberley, claimed Jonni was born with a "female brain."
What a load of scientific garbage.
With rare exceptions, our gender is coded in our DNA from the moment of conception, when the father's sperm containing either an X or Y chromosome fertilizes an egg. In fact, with almost 100 percent accuracy, we can determine gender before birth, either through genetic testing or an ultrasound. I knew around the fifth month of pregnancy that each of my unborn babies was a boy.
They weren't born in the wrong body. Their birth certificates weren't "written wrongly" and they weren't — and never will be — female.
Nor will any of the "trans athletes" for whom Webberley is so indignant. They were men at conception. They were men at birth. They are men today, no matter how many hormones, surgical procedures, or "trans inclusive" policies we throw at them. They will remain men until the day they die, and when archaeologists dig up their remains, they will be correctly identified as men for all of eternity.
And they don't have any place in women's sports.
