Blue States Really Don’t Care About Girls’ Sports

California, Oregon, Washington, and Minnesota are allowing gender-confused males to compete against and steal from female athletes. It’s unfair, and the consequences run deep.

Talking about transgenderism in athletics is exhausting. It’s exhausting because there are four indisputable reasons not to allow boys to compete against girls in a sport reserved for girls.

  1. Boys are built differently and have a physical advantage.
  2. Boys are taking away medals, positions on teams, and morale from girls.
  3. Boys don’t need to be included in girls-only spaces for the safety and security of those girls.
  4. Feeding into a deeply wrong delusion that they have about themselves and reality itself is harmful to gender-confused boys.

Most Americans agree on all this.

However, blue states like California, Oregon, Washington, and Minnesota have decided that destroying the integrity of girls’ sports is their way of sticking it to the Trump administration (women athletes be damned). Let’s start with the Golden State.

California held its state championship in track and field this past weekend. The initial outcry began in the prelims when AB Hernandez, a gender-confused boy athlete at Jurupa Valley High School, was allowed to compete in the girls’ triple jump, high jump, and long jump events. He placed first in all three. It garnered enough attention that President Donald Trump stepped in and demanded that Governor Gavin Newsom do something about it. Earlier this year, Newsom infamously told conservative activist Charlie Kirk that boys playing in girls’ sports was “deeply unfair.”

Well, California decided to change the rules so that the runners-up could share the podium and the prize with Hernandez, which is what happened Saturday in the finals. Moreover, a pro-trans activist attacked a pro-sports-integrity activist by hitting him with a flag pole. The pro-trans wacko was arrested. Another conservative activist was escorted out of the competition for handing out “save girls’ sports” wrist bands.

In response to this particular controversy, President Trump threatened to cut funding to the state for defying his “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports” executive order.

In Oregon, two young women joined the growing ranks of other young women who are no longer standing by while gender-confused boys take the joy out of their sport. They refused to stand on the podium next to the male competitor and turned their backs on the announcer.

In Washington, a boy won the state championship 400m dash. It wasn’t all that close, either.

The young lady behind him was cheated out of a title for the second straight year. He was booed on the podium, to which the young man replied, “I’m going to put this in the most PG-13 way. I’m just going to say it’s a damn shame they don’t have anything else better to do. I hope they get a life. But oh well. It just shows who they are as people.”

He’s a brainwashed kid, so his flippancy is not surprising. However, his taking the state championship title has repercussions for his competitors. The young lady who should have been given the title is now the runner-up, and two other young ladies lost podium positions they rightfully deserved. This affects college scholarships and has had a terrible effect on their morale. These girls are running as fast as they can, but this boy is leaving them in the dust.

In Governor Tim Walz’s communist hellhole of Minnesota, three young softball girls have filed a lawsuit against the state for allowing a gender-confused boy to play against them. The boy threw for 14 innings and shut out the opposing team. One parent pointed out, “Softball is different, man. I’m telling you, these girls are strong. These girls are tough. But they’re different than boys. At the highest levels, that ball is coming in 70-plus miles an hour from the pitcher’s circle, which is only 43 feet away, and it’s coming off that bat 80–85 miles an hour, and it’s not [a] question of if or when there will be a catastrophic injury or death that occurs because of this imbalance.”

To put that comment in perspective, the average pitching speed for a high school softball pitcher is 53-57 MPH. Only at the highest levels — like collegiate — do women pitchers reach higher speeds. The fastest pitch in the NCAA record for women’s softball is 79.4 MPH.

All of these stories boil down to schools in blue states doubling down on gender activism in defiance of fairness, sportsmanship, common sense, the safety of women athletes, and their overall morale. Girls deserve to have their own sports. Girls are every bit as competitive, driven, and focused as their male counterparts. They should have a place where their own accomplishments as women are celebrated, not marred by a gender-confused boy who wants to “live his truth” (i.e., parlay his fantasies) and win medals in the process that rightly belong to the women.
